Feminism has evolved over the years, and women have transformed this movement into something that empowers them to do anything they feel is right for them and their families, even if it means focusing on motherhood and leaving their careers behind.
However, the new trend of “tradwife” appears to be taking advantage of that with its pretend representations of domestic bliss. These traditional wives can be seen making bread while barefoot in a floral dress or doing their hair and putting on makeup to spend the whole day cleaning.
Noticing the harmful effects of unrealistic depictions of stay-at-home women, professor of English Neil Shyminsky took this matter to TikTok. In the video, he explains why they put on such a performance without depicting what real domestic labor actually looks like.
