- There's a survey conducted by the UN in 2022 showing young people are more conservative than other people and that men are more conservative than women when it comes to gender roles.
It's not completely new in the sense that backlash against gender equality and against feminism is not new. We also saw this in the 1970s after the second wave movement. We also saw it in the 1990s, the so-called manosphere. So this is a community of bloggers and actors on social media that post about motherhood already existed for like 15 years at least. But we see that this new persona, the tradwives, really became big during the pandemic.
Irene van Driel is a researcher in youth and media entertainment. She's a part of the Media Representation Initiative.
Sarah Bracke is a professor of sociology. Most of her research time goes to a project where she looks at questions of gender and sexuality about how Muslims are problematized systematically in Europe, and also in relation to white supremacist movements.
Liza Mügge is an associate professor in the political science department. She currently studies backlash against gender equality with a focus on online mobilization against gender equality and anti-feminism.

You used a parody account's video to showcase an example of the "tradwife trend" btw. Her account literally exists to mock them.
We know who Tyler Bender is ;)
Women: "My feelings are science!" LOL
I'm with the tradwives. My wife and I have lived this way for 16 years (13 with a son) and we're both very glad we did. As for misogyny, traditional husbands are expected to provide for, protect, love and honor their wives. And I would encourage people to court rather than just date. Ask the important questions right away, don't let yourself "fall in love" with someone who doesn't share your values or preferred lifestyle. If he adheres to traditional gender roles and norms as she does, there's no problem.
Being feminine is awesome, caring about traditions is awesome, having equal rights is awesome. The problem comes from the online world which is full of lies/deceit and toxicity, bringing out the worst in humans, the narcissistic side under the pretext of "helping or teaching others". Wether it's online tradwifes or online feminist wifes, they're all living a life to impress others, which is quite sad and miserable.
Exactly. It is the internet echo chambers designed to make everyone angry and keep the eyeballs on the content, so that content creators can generate income for themselves, that cause the problem.
You don't value work when its not paid, seems like a you problem.
Honestly can't decide if I hate this kind of stereotyping of women who stay home to raise their family, or the anti-women people who demand women stay home.
Additionally, does ANYONE want to discuss the role of traditional family and childrens' outcomes?
the scientific perspective was missing from the video. what was the point of this?
You can sum up this video as traditional gender roles are bad so lets call it "far right" and "racist'. Many women are comfortable with traditional roles. It doesn't make them evil. And this reactionary response is kind if embarrassing for these women, even if they don't realize it.
.... So... as a traditional house wife.. I can honestly say.. there are *zero* 'white babies' living under my roof... but I would also not automatically jump to 'they're trying to over populate and racially crush us' if my white neighbour had a kid... because that's literally crazy talk. 🤪
I don't get it why people are so mad about this tradwife trend, if not for the fact that they cannot afford themselves to be one because for most people two-earner household is the norm. Both haters and promoters are kinda wrong here, haters because who are they to tell women how to live their life and decide what makes them happy, some women prefer being a tradwife. Promoters are in the wrong too because there is an inherent assumptions that all women used to be tradwifes which historically just isn't true, most women also had to work in traditional lifestyles too.
Idears are frettening our dermocracy?
there is nothing wrong with staying home and taking care of your family. I read somewhere that 40% of women in the United States do not return to work after having children because they prefer to stay home with their babies. trad wives was never a problem before…its just a problem when you see people becoming influencers over it. which honestly its not a problem….no one is talking about the phenomenon of makeup influencers or, gaming channels or those pranksters…honestly the pranking and challenges stuff is the real issue to society. not women making money off of social media baking and showing how they take care of their children.
4:48: “traditional wives play a role in normalizing traditional behaviors and that threatens our democracy.” Welcome to clownworld, folks.
Can someone help me get this to Brett Cooper to react to this video!!!!!
On the one hand we're intrigued to learn what @TheCommentsSection thinks of our video/comment section on the other hand we aren't ready to go viral...
@@uva-socialsciencesbehaviour OK maybe @Jordan.B.Peterson then?
Hello!
I didn't quite understand why housewives are a new thing? It's a very interesting thing to hear for me as a westerner.
Cuz for me it's a basic role for woman in families in most of cultures and any time🤔
Thank you for your content. I hope to see more!

The idea of women being confined solely to home duties is a recent development. Historically, only wealthy families could afford to have wives dedicated exclusively to household chores and childcare. Across the globe, women have traditionally engaged in physical labor alongside their husbands, such as working in fields and doing strenuous work. From where I come from, in less developed areas, women often work in fields alongside their husbands well into their senior years, in addition to managing domestic responsibilities.
Humanity is struggling so hard with practicality, oh man... !!!!... Why are people so obsessed with ideologies, why is everyone so busy looking for "the right thing to do"??? JUST BE PRACTICAL OMG !!!! Your lifestyle depends on soooo many aspects and factors, you all should simply observe your situation, talk about things and organize everything with yor family (nuclear and extended) and figure out your options, prospects and best possibilities, and take decisions, divide responsabilities and create systems to secure your lives... IT'S NOT THAT DIFFICULT FGS !!!!! (well, actually it is difficult sometimes but whatever, life is what it is)
So scientific. Just call something "far right" and boom - you're a scientist.
touched a nerve? hit a bit too close home?
facts don't care about your feelings, my friend.
@@everettbr @lovreM makes a legitimate point. These are just opinions of women whose values don't coincide with what they call "traditional gender roles." There is nothing scientific about it.
Hogwash
If jealousy and nonsense was recorded and put on UA-cam, it would be titled: Tradwives from a scientific perspective….
Yea all of this was dumb
"scientific"
lefties - science is not politically partisan. 🤷♂
What on earth. You're trying to make this a racial thing? Give me a break. How about it's simply healthiest to look after your own children. Or how about looking at the Bible?
It's not a rebellion against equality! If anything it is rebellion of "career woman" and trying to shake the SHAME women put on other women who don't put career over children. It is a normal response to harsh economic times when daycare breaks the bank. . .it isn't about serving men. It is about putting children first! It has also become a problem when women out earn men and men no longer feel they have a purpose. Letting the man be the breadwinner while a woman takes the setbacks of birth and breastfeeding is a natural occurrence for heterosexual couples even if a woman enjoys working.
Isn't feminism about choice? So women should support other women who want to raise children. . . When you bring race into this you are ONLY looking at white people and disregarding trad wives of latin, indian, muslim traditions . . Wow this whole discussion is racist to disregard women of color who already assume the roles of home maker and childcare and don't advertise it on the internet because of traditions of modesty.
You are saying only the right cares about raising their own children? And the left either don't have children or give their children to the state to raise? Yay girl boss? Neglect your children!
It definitely is a movement against equality coming from a place of privilege and naivity. A woman who is against financial independence is either a fraud or never needed a paycheck, both uncommon positions.
It really is about men and their egos. Children are better adjusted with two parents and better funded on two incomes, they could benefit from 2 providers *and* 2 caregivers. Why refuse to grow and give your life a new meaning if not for egoistical reasons such as self-image, comfort zone, laziness?
Natural occurence is families working together. Did you really think those sad factory children on old photos and in fields on oil paintings did work but their moms did not?
Feminists know mothers are in crisis, but instead of increasing the pressure by leaving them dependent they think of shared payed parental leave, availability of part time job contracts for new parents and affordable daycare. If the family wants the one income model, financial investition from the husband to his wife's retirement and a family financial reserve in case of his inability to work is a must.
That is a projection. It's right wing men who would rather have a person be permanently with their kids than to share childcare.
on your point about women of color…I am muslim and in the muslim community its actually uncommon for a woman to work after kids. or sometimes even after getting married. most muslim cultures prefer women to stay home and take care of the kids. being a homemaker is not a modern phenomenon. its as old as antiquity. women only worked outside of the home when they needed to and unfortunately in western cultures during victorian times that usually meant the husband was dead, and her and her kids ended up homeless and she took a job along with her kids in a workhouse. even before that if women did work it was like farm work…that was still considered home related work.
@@hyrunnisa997 thank you. I am a hindu with muslim relatives and i understand this well
It definitely is a movement against equality coming from a place of privilege and naivity. A woman who is against financial independence is either a sellout or a kept human which only few can stomach.
It really is about men and their egos because children are better adjusted with two parents and better funded on two incomes. But instead of being flexible like women in the roles of provider *and* caretaker, men refuse it for egoistical reasons such as self-image, comfort and laziness.

Feminists are well aware that mothers are in crisis, but instead of a financial dependence at home they think shared payed parental leave, availability of part time job contracts for new parents and affordable daycare. If the family wants the one income model, financial investition from the husband to his wife's retirement and a family financial reserve in case of his inability to work is a must.
That is a projection. It's right leaning men who would rather have their spouse be penniless and permanently at home than to share childcare.
@@hydratejsn wow i avoid men like that at all costs. Women who want to raise children can still work. . . No one said they don't work just because they put child rearing before career. In fact all the "trad wives" on social media who people are getting mad at, are in fact earning money via social media. This movement is coming from women not from alpha male podcasts (those men repel women). What year are you living in that men want women to not work? Or what extremely religious sect are you a part of? I agree with my muslim sister who said women STILL work farms, gardens, handcrafts. No one said they don't work.
This culture HATES children and it is obvious by how this is turned into a battle of the sexes while we ignore child enrichment. . . That is why the world is messed up. People are so selfish.
Far left nonsense
