Do feminists feel undermined by those women who want to be trophy wives?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) December 5th, 2014

I was reading a back copy if Inc. (no, I forgot and left it over at a friend’s house. You don’t get the date, vol. number, press run, etc. until I go back to pick it up, if ever. Don’t believe it, tough) and one of the articles featured a woman who created a multi-million Internet business using Facebook basically without trying hard. In the article she said she never sought or intended to be CEO of anything, her plan was just to be some powerful, influential man’s trophy wife; to support his aim, let him make the bucks, and look pretty. Those women who think in that manner do they bedevil feminists who think women should not be taking a backseat to men no matter how well they are taken care of? Can a feminists truly support a woman whose ambition is to support the efforts and goal of a man, and just be a pretty house wife and any other backseat supporting role he needs? How do feminists not feel that trophy wives gut some of their momentum?
