But Why? Real talk on messy minds, and messier systems

But Why Are Women Falling Down the Rabbit Hole? | Part 1: Femininity, Fear & the Alt-Right Pipeline


Listen Later

In Part 1 of our three-part series, Kristin, Laura, and special guest Jess Britvich explore how women are being pulled into the alt-right — not with overt violence, but with pastel aesthetics, self-help promises, and weaponised femininity.

Together, we explore:
• How tradwife culture makes patriarchy look like wellness
• Why the pipeline starts with fear, loneliness, and control
• The role of aesthetics, algorithms, and “just asking questions”
• What it costs to be palatable, agreeable, and silent
• The link between white feminism, beauty politics & authoritarian 'vibes'

This is about how systems sell us safety by asking us to shrink back into 'acceptable' roles...and how easy it is to disappear down the rabbit hole, one soft pink post at a time.
