sometimes i go down a tradwife rabbit hole...

The concept of being a "trad wife" is experiencing a significant cultural resurgence. Essentially, it embodies the archetype of a 1950s Republican ideal: diminutive, deferential, and devoted. This resurgence, though distasteful by contemporary standards, is being rebranded as a fashionable and accessible lifestyle, devoid of its historically problematic associations. Previously, this lifestyle was promoted through aggressive misogynistic advertising campaigns, mass media, and societal pressures. In the digital age, however, it has morphed, championed by conservative social media influencers who fervently advocate for their roles in serving their breadwinners unconditionally.
