    I think the missing link that you two are talking past each other about is that there’s a venn diagram with a lot of overlap between “cottagecore” and whatever the whole “tradwife” thing is called.

    They are both a fantasy, not a utopia.

      Thats a fair point. Like I said, I haven’t engaged much with people online around the cottagecore aesthetic, maybe if I had that crossover of the Venn diagram would have kinda poisoned the way I see cottagecore

      That being said, I do think I did a reasonable job of addressing what I was hearing from them and inviting conversation 😅 I made a concerted effort not to talk past them, and acknowledged I don’t really know what those spaces online are like
