On this episode of the Project Censored Show, cohost Eleanor Goldfield sits down with writer and journalist Madeline Peltz to talk about tradwives – the far right’s answer to the girlboss who has it all. But what if having it all just means doing it all? We can see why many would exchange that myth for another. Madeline digs into some of the tactics that the far-right uses, and what could be learned from it all. If, instead of dismissing it out of hand, we listen and reach to the root causes and failures that push women to seek refuge in the places that dehumanize them the most, we might actually collectively get somewhere.
