#TradWife

This episode we are looking into a strange fringe phenomenon that may be entirely mythical the so called ‘traditional housewife’ or #TradWife as she’s known on Twitter.

We take a look at the movement behind the hashtag by reading and trying to apply the Fascinating Womanhood philosophy. Then we dig into the history of house wifery, feminist critiques and the modern revival of traditional marriage. And, with trepidation, explore the dark undercurrent of white supremacy running just beneath some of the content flying the #TradWife banner.

Then we get back to the ironing.

Exploring fringe, paranormal and spiritual topics from two completely different perspectives it’s The Seeker and The Skeptic.
