The Mommy Wars Are Bad, Actually

The motherhood debate hit rock bottom last week when a right-wing social media personality, emilysavesamerica, who flogs Trump merchandise, shared a video with a surprising opinion. The tradwife movement is "cringe," she declared from her car (where, seemingly, conservative influencers are contractually obligated to set their videos). She claimed women dreaming of becoming sourdough-baking stay-at-home moms have a "slim chance" of realizing this fantasy and suggested women need careers or interests outside child-rearing to remain intellectually engaging to their husbands.
