Welcome to the show.

before we talk about women and we're gonna be talking about women a lot today but like do you think men are okay too like like how how would you compare how would you compare like the genders right now who's doing worse who's doing worse yeah i that's a good question i do think men are faring worse but i don't think that i i think that women are better at coping

Yes.

The hidden emotional labor of not killing everybody.

Barring anything we eventually learn about the Mormon wife lady, yes, I would agree with you that women probably could throw chairs at men more often.

That's what we're going to be talking about today, which is the modern

The modern evolution of this very lucrative subculture, particularly in the right wing, called trad wives.

And I want to start by asking you, how would you define a trad wife?

What comes to mind?

You know, so our research actually backs it up and we're going to get to where the term comes from in just a second.

I wanted to start with this.

yeah we were actually surprised um but we let's start with uh this cnn segment about erica kirk uh because i think that she's probably the most kind of visible of this group right now oh yeah she's in the home all the time she's always we never see her

She's at the family farm and we never hear about her.

She's always barefoot in the kitchen.

She's not in some sort of WWE Thunderdome shooting Charlie's casket into space or some shit.

She says to CNN, I love submitting to Charlie because he's a phenomenal leader.

I mean, clearly he had the larger forehead of the family.

So you sort of, you know, you follow him.

He's got a big head.

And so she says, as a woman, you are meant to be the guardian of your home, to be the helpmate of your husband, be that biblical wife you are supposed to be for him, an honor.
