Yesteryear, the buzzy new novel by Caro Claire Burke, has an incredible premise. A modern-day tradwife travels back in time to 1855, forcing her to reckon with the realities of the lifestyle she touts on social media.

That’s a very good point! There is a tendency on the left to think - since we are right, people who are unhappy will come round to our way of thinking. But there might be wholly different answers to unhappiness even if they are not ours. And that is one reason the left is so disliked.

The entire point of the Women’s Liberation Movement was to allow women to make their own *choice* in life style: career, “trad wife,” or a combination. If you’re not honoring other women’s choices, including the trad wives’, you’re not a feminist. You’re a conformity policer.
