Excellent excellent piece Violet! I hope I hope I hope as well for my daughter.

I find it so wild that this is the new perceived division of women – that the rise of the homestead/tradwife on Instagram has presented this revisionist history on the role of women. I agree entirely that we contain multitudes and shouldn't be boxed in – and I also wish we could create language that didn't support this division – ie; a 'working mother' shouldn't be for a mum that works, because all mums work, one is just paid – or a 'stay-at-home-mum', or 'maternity leave' or 'career woman'. I swear motherhood needs a rebrand.

Thank you for the kind words 🩷 and would love this comment twice if I could! Agreed with you on every single front 👏🏼 It’s so confounding — no one likes being boxed in by labels. Sometimes they’re fun for identifying with generalized notions, but the whole discourse rn is mind-boggling! I second this petition for a rebrand

Gosh, there's no way for me to truly express how much I love this. I'm not a Mum, but those labels come for all of us women, regardless. Thank you for writing so eloquently about this BS. It was laugh-out-loud funny and so moving. Here's to the next generation being wiser than us! And LOL at those male terms—such a funny observation.

Thank you so much for this sweet comment! I had to water down my fuming before making it a bit more lightheaded and humorous — my first draft was rough so I’m glad the final landed as intended 😂🩷
