Trad wife is boring old anti-feminist wine in an aesthetic bottle. But, its popularity with young Gen Z women in India reveals a failure of our feminist imagination.
Hmm.... it's interesting....even more so from the other side of 40 , when I realise that there comes a time in our journey arcs when we realise how hollow our aspirations were....
Your journey from an awestruck 15 year old to patting yourself for becoming one is hopefully part of an ongoing longer journey. It takes us longer than that to evolve and understand feminism and even more challenging to extract our real inner self and soul from media inflicted larger than life images of successful women. Each person's choice has to be understood in the context of the person's situation and vision, not through reductionist generalizations.
A lot can be said about women's agency to honour their choices , the reality beneath both the cool women and traditional women that needs to be understood case- wise, not in some glibly generalised manner but that would churn out another piece by itself.
Hope as a fellow sister, you take the comment in the spirit of open discussion and not otherwise.
I love this so much, thank you
