If the average American were asked what they imagine the priorities of the feminist movement are these days, most people would likely cite concerns like “fighting abortion bans” or “getting justice for sexual violence victims” or boring mainstays like “equal pay for equal work.” But if you listen in to the world of right-wing social media influencers, they have a different answer. To them, feminists are single-mindedly obsessed with destroying women who identify as “tradwives.”

    Everyone here assuming all of us know what a tradwife is…

    Anyway, from the article:

    " “Tradwife” is internet slang for “traditional wife.” It’s largely a social media trend of conventionally attractive white women putting out TikToks and videos gushing about the joys of submissive marriage and “modesty,” though notably this “modest” clothing often leaves little to the imagination. "

          I thought it was a trade-wife… meaning one that could construct dovetail joints from furniture. My enthusiasm is misplaced, and i feel bad.

          I wish I knew more women and men who liked rock climbing. It’s so fucking flat here, and I can’t find anyone who wants to take vacations to go climb.

      Dumb bitches are smart.

      I also want be a trophy husband, where I don’t have to do shit. Smart

      But to put up with that amount of stupidity I would work my ass off to be sure I’m out of there instead of being someone’s slave who doesn’t get an opinion. Dumb bitchess

      Edit: Brah I never thought that so many people would think I’m for real in a post that starts with “dumb bitches are smart.”

        I think you underestimate the amount of subservience involved here. You’re basically raising a baby man child that doesn’t ever grow up.

            Based on the downvote count, you may want to reconsider where the failure in communication occurred.

              In the part where I insult him, but it’s fine, it was worth it.

        Idk. They’re hitching their financial stability to someone else entirely.

        They still going to be able to do that at 40? Good luck with job searching after you’ve just been tradwifing it for however many years.
