Episode 460: The historical fact of the "Cult of True Womanhood" - and the cult is still alive and well today
Did you know there was a historical movement called "The Cult of True Womanhood"? Its underpinnings were based on 4 moral virtues: Piety, Purity, Submissiveness, & Domesticity. Sound familiar? Today, I'll show how this old cult has re-formed into the new 'Trad Wife' movement.
