A traditional-minded woman ?

Somebody like myself.

Well I consider myself traditional - perhaps more so on the religious side than tradition. But I dont cook (I know how, its just an annoying task) , I study, I work, I have a car I drive, I go out, I live life. So what I dont understand is why this phrase is used as an insult.

For me a picture that comes to mind is a woman who is a home body and is set in her ways. Not willing to change or adapt to anything new. Someone who is probably very submissive. Follows what she has been taught by her elders and wouldn’t imagine thinking outside of the box. It is due to the connotation that the word “traditional” carries. If I told you that I am having a traditional wedding then automatically a picture will be created in your mind about the type of wedding I will have. I don’t think of you as a traditional woman. Conservative - yes.
