If you\u2019re an avid social media user, then it\u2019s likely you\u2019ve stumbled across the tradwife trend taking TikTok by storm. The trend, which has been dubbed \u201cthe real housewives of the internet\u201d, is mostly young women promoting the art of home-making, raising children, baking and keeping a tidy home, while the husband goes to work to provide for the family. This, of course, raises questions in terms of enforced gender roles and the movement\u2019s far right roots. 

Joining guest host Luke O\u2019Neill to discuss this is Professor of Digital Media and Gender at DCU, Debbie Ging.
