These “trad” wives seen on social media are the exception, not the expectation. Their whole lives are based around being moms — of course, they are going to be able to dedicate all their time to raising their kids exactly how they want. The truth is this lifestyle will likely never be a reality for most young women who want a family someday.

As a woman, one of my go-to defenses against implicit sexism is repressing my feminine traits in favor of masculine ones.

Our “girliness” doesn’t imply inability.

“Umm … I don’t think so,” I said hesitantly and ignorantly when my English professor asked me if I was a feminist during my freshman year of college. While feminism simply means equality of the sexes, and that means equality for all races of women, why do so many flee from being labeled feminist?
Your mother won’t make you wash your mouth out with soap after saying this f-word, but declaring yourself as a feminist in my experience receives the same disbelieving looks.
