@jessegenet@inmyalley@tonetheman It did seem like rage bait, esp the part that was like AI has so many possible cons such as destroying the planet and taking away jobs, but look at this upside: this wealthy woman can homeschool her kids with it. I bet it is raking in the clicks though.
@jessegenet@inmyalley@tonetheman It’s not just money, it’s the lifestyle and aesthetic. So even if we won the lottery I don’t think I’d adopt the lifestyle and look. As shorthand, I’d describe Nara smith/ballerina farm as tradwife content since they fit that vibe, but I personally don’t mean it pejoratively.
@inmyalley@jessegenet@tonetheman Some subreddits I’m talking about aren’t young college kids since they are about parenting. No one likes to be called names, I agree. Just trying to give perspective.
@inmyalley@jessegenet@tonetheman Like ballerina farm actually having a team of people caring for her kids. It is viewed negatively bc what they’re presenting seems contrived and unrealistic. Like cosplaying a housewife without having to do any cleaning. IMO that’s where The Cut commenters are coming from
@inmyalley@jessegenet@tonetheman IRL (my life at least) no one talks like that. Online, particularly on Reddit and sites like The Cut, I see mostly women using it pejoratively to describe wealthy, mostly white, women presenting their lives with a dreamy aesthetic that seems to hide or downplay certain truths
@jessegenet@tonetheman Yes, there’s a certain aesthetic and lifestyle fixed to the word that’s typically only achievable if you have the material means and wealth. I’ve never seen someone who is a SAHM who doesn’t have the aesthetic and the wealth called a tradwife.
@jessegenet@tonetheman We are that family you speak of and no one would say I’m a tradwife. I think you missed the point…it is tied to privileges of wealth and childcare help. If you were working class and showed how you used AI with relatable struggles people wouldn’t have called you a tradwife.
