Social media abounds with tradwife influencers who swan around in vintage-style dresses and coo about gender roles as old-fashioned as their frocks. But what’s less visible behind the highly filtered portrayal of homesteading is the flip side of the movement—an increasingly vocal ecosystem of former tradwives who became unhappy with their patriarchal lifestyle and left, and who now use their experiences as a model: They got out and so can you. Head to the link in bio for the full story of the ex-tradwives helping others escape. Illustrations: Dror Cohen @drorcof

Good grief people, 90% of tradwives choose to do it, they are not escaping by not baking bread for their families. In this world of fast food and fast fashion we shouldn't demonize women who want to slow down and put effort into their family

Escape? Wow strong word. A novel thought, but not all trad wives are in a patriarchal situation.
