What my husband wants, my husband gets: About Nara Smith and Toxic Tradwifes

Traditional role models are trending among young women on TikTok, with the "tradwife" movement gaining popularity. This trend sees women embracing ultra-traditional gender roles, focusing on homemaking and rejecting feminist ideals of independence. Influencers like Estee Williams and Nara Smith showcase a life centered on cooking, cleaning, and caring for family, sparking debates about the glorification of 1950s housewife roles. While some view this as a personal choice, others raise concerns about its connections to conservative ideologies and the alt-right movement. The hashtag "tradwife" has amassed millions of views, reflecting a significant cultural shift on social media platforms.
