Season 5, Episode 7: Women Pushing Women Back to Home and Hearth

In this episode, Cathy and Deborah discuss the phenomenon of pushback against women in the workplace coming from, of all places, other women. What has brought us to the moment of the “trad wife” and are we experiencing a war among women? The “trad wife” movement is not the first time that women themselves have lobbied against parity - think Phyllis Schlafly and her success in defeating the Equal Rights Amendment. In their characteristic style, Cathy and Deborah break down the context of our current climate and debunk the myth that a one-size lifestyle fits every woman, or every man. They also add a word of caution against taking the bait to create a war among women that may be more media-driven than anything.
