Want to walk a mile in their submissive shoes? It might require a bit of time travel.

Miranda Kerr
Model Miranda Kerr said she wasn’t afraid to say she’s traditional. For a man to be a man, she thinks a woman has to step back and let him be just that:
“If you’re really an alpha female, you don’t allow [your partner] to have the space to feel like the man in the relationship.
Maybe I am too traditional, but men feel important when you ask for their help, instead of thinking you can do it all on your own.”

Tameka “Tiny” Harris
Tiny Harris said that loving a traditional man means taking some good with the bad. Remember T.I.’s infamous comments about a woman being president?
Tiny said you’ll have to excuse him. It’s just part of T.I.’s old-fashioned “men should take care of women” mentality that she fell in love with.

Coco Austin
When it comes to life at home with Ice-T, Coco Austin said she’s all about being a submissive wife:
“I’m totally serious when I say I love being a wife. I like the role I play..I can be crazy coco at times but I have a good heart.”
That certainly sounds better than when she said she loves being Ice-T’s “slave“…

Candace Cameron Bure
Actress Candace Cameron Bure wrote a whole book on making a marriage work by being submissive to your husband. She told HuffPost Live, “It is very difficult to have two heads of authority. It doesn’t work in military, it doesn’t work — I mean, you have one president, you know what I’m saying?”

Tamera Mowry-Housley
Tamera Mowry-Housley said being a traditional wife wears her out. But she loves it:
“Now that we’re married, I realize I’m like the old-school traditional wife. I aspire to be that. Nobody really taught me that, it’s not Adam breathing down my neck telling me he wants me to cook this or clean that – he’s actually the opposite – but I find myself wanting to be that and it’s exhausting.
I want to wash his clothes and do things for him. I love to serve. It makes me happy. What’s so great about Adam is that we have a 50/50 marriage. He would never let me do that all the time.”

Gabrielle Reece
Sports star Gabrielle Reece told Today that she believes you have to treat a man like a man if you want to be treated like a woman. This is what she means:
“I think the idea of living with a partner is ‘How can I make their life better?’ So if I’m the woman and he’s the man, then yes, that’s the dynamic.
I’m willing and I choose to serve my family and my husband because it creates a dynamic where he is then in fact acting more like a man and masculine and treating me the way I want to be treated.”

Kirsten Dunst
Kirsten Dunst said that being a “good woman” is important. What exactly is that?
“I feel like the feminine has been a little undervalued. We all have to get our own jobs and make our own money, but staying at home, nurturing, being the mother, cooking – it’s a valuable thing my mum created.
And sometimes, you need your knight in shining armour. I’m sorry. You need a man to be a man and a woman to be a woman. That’s why relationships work…”

Kelly Clarkson
Clarkson said that when it comes to relationships, she doesn’t consider herself a feminist.
“I think when people hear feminist, it’s like, ‘Get out of my way, I don’t need anyone.’ I love that I’m being taken care of and I have a man that’s a leader. I’m not a feminist in that sense.”

Giada De Laurentiis
Celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis said that sometimes being a traditional celebrity wife is about not upstaging your husband at home:
“I think it can be hard for any man to sometimes be upstaged by his wife. So when I’m home, I work very hard to be Todd’s wife and Jade’s mother.
I have no problem going back to those traditional roles. I try to be Giada, the young girl that he met 20 years ago and fell in love with.
All men want to be treated like kings in a relationship, and I think if women don’t indulge that sometimes, their men are likely to stray and look for someone who can give that to them.”
Sadly, De Laurentiis and the husband she spoke of, Todd Thompson, divorced this year.

Monica
Singer Monica said that for her, being a traditional wife is all about fixing a good plate — it’s a Southern thing:
“I cook for him. He can cook, but I don’t think he should have to. I’m a traditional wife in every sense. I like the fact that he cleans his plate. That’s a Southern thing.”

Kaley Cuoco
When she was still married to husband Ryan Sweeting, The Big Bang Theory star told Redbook that she loved being an “old-fashioned” wife:
“I cook for [my husband] five nights a week: It makes me feel like a housewife; I love that. I know it sounds old-fashioned, but I like the idea of women taking care of their men. I’m so in control of my work that I like coming home and serving him.”
We bet her new boo is loving that!

Evangeline Lilly
Evangeline Lilly doesn’t even like to hear the word “feminism” when it comes to men and women’s roles:
“I’m very proud of being a woman, and as a woman, I don’t even like the word feminism because when I hear that word, I associate it with women trying to pretend to be men and I’m not interested in trying to pretend to be a man.
I don’t want to embrace manhood, I want to embrace my womanhood.”
