The order that God had created marriage to be in when I met Charlie, that was it.
I could care less about the career.
Well, he's gone now and she really cares about the career.
So that does seem to back that up.
But that's like the last Pokemon evolution of this movement.
Erica Kirk is performing a girl boss trad wife.
But let's talk about how we got here before we unpack how confusing that is.
If I had to ask you, like, when the concept of a trad wife started, like in the modern context, how old do you think this idea is?
Because this surprised us a lot.
Like, how far back do you think this stuff goes?
So, searching on X these days is kind of tough, but our researcher Adam went pretty deep, and he thinks he found the first use of the word tradwife on Twitter.
It was May 2016, and it was an account named paraxial underscore logic, who was writing a Mother's Day post.
uh, to his, uh, wife, I guess, um, whose name is a purposeful wife.
And, uh, this guy writes happy mother's day to Alia, our dear lady, best to you and your family.
So maybe it's not his wife.
I actually have no idea what this means, but anyways, he then uses the hashtags hashtag trad wife, hashtag trad life, hashtag white girls are magic.
Yeah.
Which would have been a response to the Black Girls Are Magic.
Yeah, so this was from the jump associated with white supremacy.
So this is what this account looks like.
