On today’s episode of Hear Me Out: aprons off.

Has there ever been a better time to be a woman in America? Probably not… but that’s a low bar. Modern feminism is having trouble making a case for itself, in the face of a challenging economy and backslides in reproductive rights. So when women on social media present themselves as traditional wives and homemakers, achieving the self-actualization of heteronormativity, have they given up? Or are they showing us what feminist thought might be missing?

Dr. C. Nicole Mason joins us to share her journey into the minds of tradwives… and her realization that they might have a point.
