I went to the "Tradwife College" that Vanity Fair wrote about, and it's SO much worse than you think
from Leaving Eden Podcast
In today's episode, Sadie discusses the recent article in Vanity Fair about Hyles-Anderson College, which she attended from the fall of 2011 until the spring of 2013. While this article did a good job of explaining what makes this college so controlling, we felt that this subject would have been better served with a longer-form piece that focused more on the deeper aspects of control rather than JUST the dress code. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/the-college-for-trad-wives?srsltid=AfmBOopagpD8okZIVAWJdyk7Svyax_rmS8qF4xH0n2dryDQj7eEVtsRL00:00 - Intro05:23 - Tradwives07:43 - Rules for men vs. women09:43 - MRS Degrees14:58 - The IFB20:23 - The Curriculum28:01 - Bus Routes33:12 - How Sadie Almost got expelled38:08 - What the Vanity Fair could have done better42:48 - Why some people don't make it44:46 - This is an insular cultureSubscribe to Leaving Eden Podcast on YouTube!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ4q94gAnsoW2jME4SvVrrQJoin our Patreon for extended, uncensored, and ad-free versions of most of our episodes, as well as other patron perks and bonus content!https://www.patreon.com/LeavingEdenPodcastJoin our Facebook group to join in the discussion with other fans!https://www.facebook.com/groups/edenexodusJoin our subreddit!
