Here's a read/10-min docu-video worth your time: Beautiful, well-written, and provocative
When Millennials invented the girlboss, Gen Z responded with the tradwife, complete with homemade Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereals and BMIs of 18 after popping out a half-dozen kids. It makes them easy to hate. Typically conservative and Christian, these women have traditional marriages, embracing the idea that it's OK for a woman to stay home, take care of their kids, and tend to the hearth.
"It's a mindset, a lifestyle, but also an aesthetic that traffics in 1950s nostalgia. Tradwives are also magnets for hate and judgment."
But this cultural movement warrants celebration, not contempt. Tradwives don't want domestic servitude. They want the roles of wife, mother, and homemaker to count as respectable options for the 21st-century woman.
Tradwives are feminists, too.
