VICTOR JOECKS: The feminist war on motherhood

  • Miranda Brady, a Carleton University professor, explains that political discourse and social media trad-moms in the U.S. Have sparked a renewed natalist movement treating motherhood as a moral duty.
  • This pronatalism arises partly from Silicon Valley groups, including Elon Musk, concerned about demographic decline, and from right-wing Christian lobbyists promoting procreation.
  • Influencers like Hannah Neeleman, known as Ballerina Farm, illustrate this trend with a lifestyle supported by family wealth and amplified through mainstream media and political lobbying.
  • Brady observes that, from a historical perspective, the messaging closely resembles propaganda and cautions that promoting the idea that women should have numerous children is highly problematic.
  • This pronatalist surge has prompted debates about societal expectations, with concerns over pressures on women and parents amidst ongoing demographic challenges in the U.S.
