The trad was the important part of tradcath not the cath. There seems to be a subculture of right wing, religious, misogynists who want to subjugate women and feel a need for a religious justification for it. They are shopping around for the religion best suited to impose their traditional lifestyle on others. A lot of them tried Catholicism and weren't delivered to the world of fetish pornography they imagined, so they moved on. They won't be pleased with Orthodoxy either because their demand is everything they want (misogyny, homophobia, etc.) at maximum intensity beginning immediately and lasting forever. I wonder what they'll try next? By 2060 I predict a white guy named Breighdyn who calls himself a tradsikh but won't wear the headwrap because its "mooselum".
