Hey everyone, it's Early Access Day, and perhaps you've seen some videos floating around over the last little while of a woman making her children a gourmet grilled cheese from scratch, or women dressed in tight floral print dresses proclaiming that they stand for "traditional values"? WELL, you've stumbled upon the Tradwives of TikTok! And if you've managed to avoid these people, you're in for a treat as I tell you all about the latest "born in the wrong generation" trend for twenty-and-thirty-something women. Enjoy!
Buckley tackles the TikTok Tradwife movement: influencers who have chosen to become stay-at-home wives and mothers while also filming every moment of it for you to watch for... whatever purpose. But is this an attainable lifestyle in 2024? AND, are these people truly "traditional"? Did your grandmother set up a tripod before cooking dinner for her husband? A look specifically at two of these women, Nara Smith and Estee Williams. Happy Women's History Month!

Haha I'm not aware of the "special underwear" but like how these trad people only embrace the aspects they like about it and ignore the rest, she's mentioned there are Mormon traditions they don't follow.

Women, and especially women of color like black And indigenous women, have always had to work. Heck white women have always had to work. They would work and then do all of the “trad wife” things ON TOP of it. It was only a very small population of upper middle-class white women that have that “traditional” image that we’ve all been fooled into thinking was the majority in the 50s and 60s. It honestly feels like people got a middle school education of history and didn’t learn beyond that so they accepted surface level information made for 11-year-old as the ultimate truth and completely forgot nuance. Don’t get me wrong they were definitely gender roles and stereotypes but this I do that woman didn’t work is so silly. It’s like..do these people think women in medieval times didn’t work 😂? So it makes sense that when you see people on TikTok Trying to encapsulate this “traditional wife” aesthetic (& myth), they think it only means look pretty/sexy, do make up, and cook ….which are niches in social media content making that people do as hobbies or for fun already! Hence the cooking influencers and the beauty gurus. The ONLY thing that makes the trad wife trend different is quite literally its appeal to sexism because of a myth
