You know, we're familiar with the real housewives, but this is the real trad wives. Although some may say it never went away. Have you heard the term trad wife? It's short for traditional wife, a woman who stays home, cooks, cleans, and even openly says they are submissive to their husband.
I talked to Estee Williams, who is a TikTok famous trad wife, and she's breaking it all down for us, including... some of the backlash she gets from other women. Hi, my name is Esty Williams.
I am here to tell my story about being a traditional wife. A traditional wife that is getting quite the TikTok following. She takes care of the home.
She takes care of herself. Trad wife is short for traditional wife. There is a little bit of a pushback going on with...
Woke feminism and I think a lot of women are finding that it is a wholesome lifestyle to be at home and take care of their families, whether it's just their husband or they have children. I think a lot of women are really embracing that part of femininity. I think a lot of women are just trying to showcase maybe like the opposite of boss babe, if you know what I'm saying. The opposite of a boss babe.
So what does a boss babe mean to you? Because I was raised to be that boss babe. A boss babe, and I actually have plenty of them in my family.
And it's just a woman who is very career-oriented, and I have absolute all support for boss babes, career-oriented women, traditional wives, the mixture of both. I think a lot of people find it dangerous to be dependent on a man. I think it's a scary thing for a woman to imagine. Women fought to work and have the choice to work, but all in all, we did fight for the choice and I'm just simply choosing my path. Truthfully, I felt pressured by society to...
pursue a career. For Estee, her main priority is her husband Connor. How long have you been with your husband? We started dating in 2020. And married for? Two months.
Two months, you're newlywed. Yes, ma'am. What would your plan be if down the line, I hope this never does happen, but if it does and the marriage doesn't work out, what would you do if you find yourself to be single again without relying on your husband's income? Well, that's where my faith comes in.
And well, it's always there. And I would really trust and pray to God that he would guide me through that hard time. And whatever that may lead to, I don't know, but I trust in God. Yeah. pull yourself together and to make sure that you look presentable.
What made you want to make a TikTok account and put Tradwise at the forefront of the spotlight that is TikTok? Because you are opening yourself up to anyone being able to say anything they want, but you don't care because you're getting followers, you're getting comments, you're getting views, right? I have not monetized my account. I have no interest in making money off of my account. I simply showcase a traditional marriage and lifestyle for women, like the majority of my followers.
Right. are women. Women should have the choice to be homemakers or not without being judged. It just confirmed that like there are men out there that want to give this to women.
I'm not here to like impress the world or I'm not here to be something for the world. I'm here to please him and make him happy and that's what matters to me. You can follow Estee on TikTok. I asked her a couple other questions.
I said, if you put an outfit on and your husband didn't like it, would you change? And she said, yes, because I want him to be impressed by me. And I also told her that, to each their own.
I also said, I think a lot of women, modern day women, have the problem with her saying on TikTok that she's submissive to her husband. And there's nothing wrong with that, but it's also saying, you should. Also do what you wanna do as well.
And if you like the outfit, then you should wear it. But I do agree with her that she shouldn't be getting so much backlash saying that she's anti feminist because she is making that choice for herself. Yeah, but it's the day and age we live in.
You put content out there like that, you're gonna get the backlash. You're also gonna get the support. It's just how it goes. Right. You know, so you know, you've got your supporters and your followers.
Yeah. Could you live the trad wife life? Are you asking me?
I'm asking these two ladies. I think you know the answer to that. I could not personally but also like she's a newlywed and she doesn't have kids and I want to point that out because it's easier To have the time to do some of these things Really like I go around doing housework too and running errands, but I definitely don't look like that when I do yeah Look like a mess she puts herself together. She says that's important for being a child wife All right.
Let's take a final look at our poll Wow Almost three fourths of you said, yes, you definitely could live the child wife life. You women are not into working right now. That's okay.
