For several years she posted to a YouTube channel, but took it down after receiving ‘a lot of flack’ about her attitudes to men, women and marriage. Like many #tradwives, Jade lives a double identity, keeping her real beliefs about men, women and marriage for sympathetic tradwife friends and forums. “People who want to live a traditional lifestyle get a load of abuse,” Christine explains. Tradwives are often wary of talking about their beliefs on social media for fear of being trolled by what they perceive as an enemy feminist majority (it’s for this reason that we agreed to conceal interviewees’ surnames for this story). “Tell men not to be men and women not to be women and you get family breakdown,” says Jade of this way of thinking. Central to #tradwifehood’s message is the notion that feminism, with its questioning of the ‘traditional’ sexed roles, has gone too far.
