Tradwives

Plural of tradwife.

1. A phenomenon of women who choose to live as stay-at-home moms, but especially so if they are associated with conservative movements (paleoconservatism or even politics bordering on far-right). The wojack of a blonde woman in a flower dress is often seen as a tradwife, though has been used differently with the evolution of the meme.

2. A buzzword that has become meaningless among a subsection of Gen Z leftists involved in stan culture. Instead of accusing people of genuinely being conservative women, it can mean people who don't like a certain pop-culture icon who's arbitrarily being assigned as progressive.
Madeline: What the fuck? This Taylor Swift fan account just accused me of being a tradwife.
Abby: Aren't you a feminist who has a job? I don't get why they'd accuse you of promoting politics like that.
Madeline: No, I just made fun of Taylor Swift. Since some fans are fixated on her being a feminist icon, people who aren't her stans can just be called 'tradwives'.
