Show Notes
On tradwives, influencers, and boys.
Amber is back on the pod, talking to Alex and George about her forthcoming piece on neo-traditionalism and women, in Damage issue 3, which will be on Mothers. We discuss:
-
What are the models of 'tradwives' out there?
-
If homemakers make homes, do tradwives make content?
-
Does the tradwife phenomenon speak to sense of exhaustion with being a neoliberal girlboss?
-
When does internet crap start being real? Do influencers actually influence?
-
What is the political upshot of all this?
