Dr Kate Mangino is a gender expert with a PhD in human rights & social development and the author of the book, Equal Partners: Improving Gender Equality at Home.

In this episode, we unpack the tradwife trend to ask is it a harmless personal choice resulting from the options born of feminism or giant steps backwards for the women’s equality? You’ll hear the answer to what is a tradwife plus the three types of tradwives, performative femininity, how this lifestyle could have a negative impact on men & the potential motives & outcomes for the women involved.

We also take a closer look at some of the internet’s most prominent tradwife movement supporters - Estee Williams, Nara Smith & Hannah Neeleman.
