Comedian and creator Tyler Bender joins us for a conversation all about the rise of "trad wife" influencers - the dangerous rhetoric encouraging young women that their only role should be in the home. We chat about our opinions on this content's rise, the most concerning threats today, and our takes on more experienced women's warnings against this mindset. We're also discussing books we love - like Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke and Strangers by Belle Burden - and shows with these warning lessons for audiences - like Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and Real Housewives of Rhode Island.
