Trad Wives & Performative Femininity

When "Light Femininity" Becomes a Cage

On this week’s episode of the Goddess-Witch Spectrum™ Podcast, I discuss the dangers of performative femininity and how it has given rise to the resurgence of the “Trad Wife” archetype.

In this episode, I will cover the psychological impacts of engaging in performative femininity for women and how it puts them at greater risk of experiencing things such as Intimate Partner Violence by exploring the Duluth Power and Control Wheel and the historical origins of this phenomenon as a way to keep women from accessing their full autonomy and power.

Moreover, I will discuss the generational impacts of performative femininity on women and how it gives rise to the dreaded “Karen” archetype.

Enjoy!
