I've never heard of these things as being 'alt-right.' If, anything the ability to have a 'traditional' family with a single wage earner and a full-time homemaker mother is simply an overt mark of privilege (because who else can afford to raise a family on a single income in this century?), not a mark of being right-wing.

If you're saying that other, non-traditional family structures are something degenerate, yes, you're alt-right, but I think if you're doing that you already embrace that label.

Then you clearly did not spend much time on pre-elon twitter where it was often the case.

Infact more than one story has been posted on Twitter calling the "'traditional' family with a single wage earner and a full-time homemaker mother" actively dangerous to women in general and something that should not only be advocated against but actively resisted.

Twitter is so full of random takes on anything that of course you can find 'more than one' take on some weird idea. However, the dominant feminist stance on twitter and everywhere is overwhelmingly that women should have the freedom to be in the workforce or be a full-time homemaker, they just shouldn't be arbitrarily shoved into the homemaker role by society.
I've spent a lot of time on twitter, and I've never seen it. I have seen a lot of "martyrdom" though.

E.g.: I don't like Elon Musk. According to Fox News, I'm a pinko commie that hates America.

Nothing you have said is anything other than 1980's conservatism.

What I find sad is that back in the 1980's conservatives still tried to ground their beliefs with intellectual arguments.
