TLDR is that she’s pretty explicitly an antifeminist and has been for as long as she’s been in the public eye (since gamergate).
The video is not addressing the specific argument in the article. The main argument in the article is that the interest in tradwives is harming men’s ability to function in the real dating world. That seems plausible to me. There are probably not that many women who are into being tradwives so it’s an outrageous expectation to normalize.
The video doesn’t address that thesis at all. It’s making more of a libertarian argument: “tradwives aren’t hurting anyone so leave them alone.” But even if women should be allowed to be tradwives, that says nothing about whether men and other women are harmed by the promotion of these regressive gender norms. At one point, the video shows a ton of examples of men wishing violence on tradwife women, for e.g. not having dinner done on time. Somehow, this YouTuber still doesn’t see how promoting this view of a women’s place is harmful.
An interesting video on the topic, that directly argues against a lot of what the article says

Is that a mod warning, or just your garbage personal stance?

If you are going to peddle such miserable drivel, at least have the common courtesy to make it a piped link
