Unpacking 'Princess Treatment' and 'Tradwife' Trends: A Critical Look at Modern Relationship Advice

A recent viral video by content creator 'hothouse flower' delves into the controversial 'princess treatment' and 'tradwife' social media trends, sparking a wider discussion on modern relationships and gender roles. The creator, while applying makeup, critically analyzes the advice given by another online personality, who advocates for women to 'train' their husbands and maintain a 'quiet' demeanor to be more 'elegant.' Hothouse flower highlighted several points of contention, including the concept of 'training' a spouse, questioning how such an approach could foster masculinity rather than infantilize a partner. She also noted the perceived hypocrisy of the original content creator, who reportedly worked in New York, a 'dream city,' just a few years ago, before embracing and preaching against her former lifestyle. Furthermore, the video touches upon the original creator's views on a husband and wife having different bedtimes, which she deemed 'weird' and indicative of a lack of trust. 'What if you don't trust your husband?' asked hothouse flower, inviting viewers to consider the underlying psychology of such rigid expectations. The commentary serves as a reaction to the growing 'tradwife' movement, which promotes traditional gender roles, often emphasizing domesticity and submission for women. Hothouse flower's video contributes to the ongoing debate about these evolving societal norms and their practical implications for relationships.
