Justin, thanks so much for joining me.

And this also leads us to what I think is the fundamental hypocrisy at the heart of the child wife phenomenon.
So at least if you look at the girl boss phenomenon, it's totally congruent.
They're saying, you know, go out,
work hard, hustle, build a career, be super independent, and that is indeed what they're doing.
So there's not a huge amount of hypocrisy there.
With the tradwife thing, the people who are at the forefront of this movement are not staying at home, not having a career.
They have these very vast, complicated, fully-fledged social media and mainstream now media careers.
One kind of side tangent on this point.
So we gave a talk at the Sixth Form last week, Rosie and I did.
Rosie talked to the girls, I talked to the guys.
And one of the questions that we were asked was about social media.
And where I land on social media is you should treat social media as a video game.
So social media is very cleverly designed to make us feel like it's
reality like even this podcast when we're making this podcast what we're trying to create is the sense of an organic fluid conversation which to a large degree it is but you guys aren't seeing the camera you guys aren't seeing the lights you're not seeing the editing you're not seeing the post-production so it is a performance of sorts we can't get away from that social media especially so you're seeing if you look at the trad wife reel you're seeing someone baking bread from scratch you're not seeing the lights you're not seeing the team you're not seeing the expensive cameras
Social media is a video game.
It is a representation of reality.
It is not reality.
So the fundamental hypocrisy at the core of this is the people at the top are very sophisticated businesswomen.
And I think you'd be surprised how many people could be taken in by that and kind of skim over that core hypocrisy, I think.
