On tradwives, influencers, and boys.

[Patreon Exclusive]

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?

I think Amber is referring to Reality Bites, not Slacker(s). There's also Singles. I'm too much of a Gen X/elder millennial to let this go!

I really appreciate hearing Amber on the show, I hope you can have her on more often.

This ep makes "tradwifing" sound a lot like the thing in early capitalism where factory workers would go back to the family farm during depressions or when wages otherwise got too low.

As always, I appreciate the generosity and perspicacity of Amber's contribution. One of the best in the biz.
