Please help, why do so many reels and videos reference sexualisation of being a woman, mother, is it driven by the women themselves??? Eg those couple instagrammer accounts where they parade their kids and then say shit like ‘now we’re off to the bedroom whist the kids are downstairs’ it’s sickening, sexist, they seem obsessed with being the ‘trad wife’ kept by the man of the house, sexual
object, long beachy hairstyle, the men pulling those gross licking lips faces

Social media shows you what you're interested in. Scroll past - Stop watching and they'll disappear.

My feed doesn't show any of this

‘Trad living’ agrees and aligns with several cultural and religious belief systems so it’s no real surprise. The sexualisation is there to normalise it to the uninitiated.

AI and algorithms follow and exploit trends, expect it to get much worse, Tradlife will be the next ‘New Audi on the drive’ yard stick. Watch.
