This week, Suchi bought a book at an antique store in Harrisburg, and somehow we ended up here talking about making Cheetos from scratch. In episode two, we’re talking about the rise of the trad wife movement and what it looks like on the internet. We ask what brought us here, who benefits when women romanticize losing rights, and where do we go from here? Featuring themes from Foucault, sexism, and feminism.
