Christ. where to even start?
So the trad wife phenomenon is on the rise, especially in the states. It is linked to increasing political polarisation, vaccine skepticism, Christian fundamentalism and the ability for women to stay at home while also having a social media platform and being able to make pocket money while doing it. Usually this is in the form of participating in MLMs. it is believed to be a response to increasing economic and political precarity particularly in the 'left behind' communities of the white lower middle class. It is also a function of wage stagnation meaning it is not 'worth it' for women to work outside the home due to the prohibitive cost of childcare and orher associated expenses. This way of life has received good PR from shiny mormon influencer accounts like Ballerina Farm and her perfect looking blond children on a huge ranch in Utah. (although her situation is the product of inherited wealth). The move towards homeschool/homesteading which is associated with these trad wife accounts is also a function of right wing exceptionalism, anxiety about 'end times', move away from perceived dependency on government, and associated conspiracy theories. In other words this is an observable reactionary movement which has resulted from many social conditions and is certainly not a backlash to feminism alone (although it may be a reactionary response to Me Too, in part.)
Of course, speaking intelligently about this would demand actual knowledge and being informed on the topic, which is being heavily investigated by social researchers. Ashley however seems to have taken it very personally. Why does it bother her so much that she feels the need to devote several incoherent stories about it while insisting that its absolutely fine for women to serve her husbands? Even worse, she has nothing incisive to say other than repeating her inane version of choice feminism which is honestly as intellectually moribund and trad wifeism. Clearly there is a deeper political issue at play here (the same issue that will likely get Trump reelected) but someone she makes it all about her pathetic brand of year 9 spice girl brand of feminism and manages to shit on men and their mental health in the process. She somehow goes from discussing trad wives to talking about femicide and all men are terrorists .. sorry what? if this was in an undegraduate student essay it wouldn't be getting an A. it would be failing for lack of research (the irony), overdrawn conclusions, failure to appreciate existing research on the subject, non sequitur, poor use of English language, failure to check provenance of sources and lack of imagination.
she is GENUINELY the stupidest woman on the internet. even more stupid than those trad wives she has such beef with

she doesn't have a choice but to send her kids to the childminder if she wants to 'work'.
Ada is at that age where they learn by association. She wakes, she gets TV.
