For decades, women have fought hard to achieve the freedoms they enjoy today—working, voting, and making their own choices. Yet, amidst all this progress, a surprising trend has emerged. Have you noticed the growing popularity of 'tradwives' on Instagram and TikTok? These traditional housewives, often with five or more children, are redefining domestic life in the 21st century. Let's dive into what’s fueling this movement!
With men going off to war, Naomi began working in a factory, and when a photographer visited the factory, she struck that now-famous pose. The photo, published in a newspaper, inspired millions of women, prompting them to enter the workforce.
Our women are getting educated, securing jobs, and standing on their own feet. Except for some. You may have come across women on social media who devote themselves entirely to their home, husband, and children. They resemble an exaggerated continuation of the 'cook for yourself, eat for yourself' trend that began during the pandemic.
Hannah, with 7.6 million followers on TikTok and 9.1 million on Instagram, is just one of these tradwives.
In addition to all this, they somehow manage to shoot and edit videos 'worthy of sharing on Instagram.' And, of course, their ever-increasing number of children is just another detail.
These women are withdrawing from the workforce, becoming financially dependent on their husbands, accepting their word, and, so to speak, submitting to their dominance. Moreover, they argue that all of this is 'very beautiful, very comfortable.'
