We Need To Talk About Trad Husbands
Why husband veneration is a trad momfluencer's job requirement
For those of you wondering what’s been happening at Ballerina Farm now that the Mrs. World pageant has come and gone, I have an update. For those of you who are blissfully clueless about what Ballerina Farm is, I LOVE THAT for you!
Ballerina Farm has always lightly dabbled in fitness influencer content - lots of pregnant workout reels, lots of green drinks, lots of dark morning gym runs. Today, Hannah announced that she was upping her protein intake in order to build more muscle.
and I are working on a joint essay about the the diet culture of it all. But today’s essay is about one salient detail about this new protein regime: Daniel, otherwise known as Mr. Ballerina Farm. And/or the guy who made me start a newsletter. And/or the son of the founder of JetBlue. And/or a father o’hogs.
Daniel is representative of many trad momfluencer husbands in that he’s the setting that holds the jewel in place. He’s sometimes cringe, sometimes weird. Mostly he’s boring. But he’s in charge.
