Well, I live in a cottage (in a rural area), and am married to an uber-gardener (so lots of flower and vegetable gardens), but I didn't even know there was a name for our style. It's just an aesthetic, not a radical lifestyle.
Small but beautiful, it still takes a lot of time, probably too much time for a young family with commutes and kids at home. We are retirees though, so it's fine for us.
While American culture is historically patriarchal, its present and future doesn’t have to be. Consider indigenous cultures. They are very much cottagecore-like while also having a crucial and fulfilling place in their societies for all who were a part of them. This cottage core dream you describe does not have to be an illusion.

Good observations about the cottage core phenomena. I hadn’t thought about it that way before!
You know it ♥️

You all should read this article, and rethink using the guillotines.
It's more a metaphor than anything else. At least that's how I think about it.
