In today's episode, Kate analyzes the girlbosses and tradwives to better understand this economic and political moment for women. She unpacks how these seemingly harmless, lifestyle videos of women drinking raw milk serve a larger conservative agenda and how the tradwives are a reaction to both COVID lockdown and the toxic girlbosses of the 2010s. Kate talks about a resurgence of the girlboss entrepreneur, "getting the bag" culture, influencers flaunting their wealth, and the problems with neoliberal empowerment. Tune in if you want to learn about feminism, personal health, self-optimization, capitalism, and more.
