Where Can Feminists and Tradwives Find Common Ground? (2 of 4)

A Call for Reframing

Despite the apparent differences between feminists and tradwifes, acknowledging the importance of care work can foster a bridge. Both sides can agree that nurturing families and communities is vital. Feminists can champion policies that empower this: flexible work schedules for both parents, valuing caregiving experience on resumes, and reframing careers as journeys with built-in breaks for caregiving. This wouldn’t force women back into the home but would offer them the choice to prioritize care work without sacrificing career advancement. By making care work valued and supported, both feminists and tradwives could find a world where women are empowered to define their own paths. This inclusive approach fosters solidarity and acknowledges the diverse ways in which individuals contribute to society, regardless of traditional gender roles or ideological differences.
