Some accept a Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy and try to live life. Some accept and support, don't mind discussion, but don't want to see their husbands en femme. Some are ambivalent, take it or leave it, and it doesn't affect them negatively or positively. Some casually support, occasionally buying things, or slightly encouraging. Some are willing to more actively support, occasionally going out with their husbands en femme, and frequently being on the lookout for a great bargain on clothes/shoes/makeup for their spouse.
I readily grant that no girl fantasizes as a child about her knight in shining white wedding dress. It's just not the fantasy that's imbued in children, not what little girls aspire to. But, similarly on the other extreme, little girls aren't sent to a formal programming school to brainwash them into thinking that crossdressers are the spawn of Satan. From everything I've seen, most women might not be tickled pink about their husbands crossdressing, but once informed are willing to work with it, learn, understand, adjust, and grow. Many realize the man they love and married (or intend to marry) isn't just the "male" aspects, but all of them; even parts people would typically call "femme".
The idea that most women are just not capable of or are unwilling to adjust and grow is, frankly, rather absurd to me; and I'm being kind here.
