Ep 174: Let Trad Wives Explain How Feminism Tricked You!
EQ: What role does the 'trad wife' concept play in modern society, and how does it intersect with traditional gender roles, feminism, and individual agency?
All the IWLs return for a passionate and riveting conversation about a recent trend on Tiktok–the trad wife movement. In this podcast, we delve into the intriguing and controversial world of "trad wives" and domestic care tasks. We first question the notion of whether domestic care tasks are considered sexy and explore the various layers of controversy surrounding the term "trad wife." We dissect the difference between a homesteader and a trad wife and examine why the trad wife phenomenon has gained traction in 2024. Delving into online discourse, we encounter different perspectives, from the anti-feminist stance to the progressive feminist SAHM/SAHW response contingent. We also address the racial dynamics and financial implications associated with being a trad wife. Finally, we ponder whether the concept of trad wives is merely a mutually agreeable kink or a concerning trend of weaponized incompetence. Join us as we navigate through the complexities of modern-day domesticity and societal expectations.
