In this episode, Erin and Alyssa talk about Trump’s nuclear war threats, Congressman Tony Gonzales sex pesting, again, and ICE’s pattern of lies. Then they dissect Pam Bondi’s ousting, and why Republicans’ gaggle of trad wives can’t escape the patriarchal system they champion.

A new study shows submissive women aren't cherished but are held in contempt

One of the year’s buzziest novels looks at influencers, gender roles, and the real contradictions in women’s lives

Surprise! The men who want women to be submissive and domestic aren’t really motivated by protection or tradition - but by hostile sexism

For research published in Psychology of Women Quarterly, study authors surveyed 595 men about their familiarity with and opinions on trad wife content. According to their findings, men with attitudes of hostile sexism were more likely to support the trad wife ideology.

A UNLV study of 595 young men found support for the tradwife movement is linked to hostile sexism, not just old-fashioned chivalry, researchers say.

Evening, as the setting sun paints the sky red. The savory aroma of soybean paste stew fills the house, and as the front door opens, a wife and children greet with, "Welcome home." Such a warm evening is likely the scene that traditional male breadwinners once dreamed of. However, these days, with the collapse of awareness about traditional gender roles and the prevalence of dual-income households, such scenes have become a thing of the past.

Last week the movement got a reality check. Psychology of Women Quarterly published a paper from UNLV that pulled a hand-knotted rug from under the foundation myth of tradwives - that her (trad) husband will guide and protect her. No, far from the 'benevolent sexism' exhibited in this idea that women are vulnerable and need protection, the study revealed the 'hostile sexism' of husbands.
