Then, Amanda breaks down the phenomenon of conservative “tradwives” as both cosplay and a gateway drug to white supremacy.   Links: “Texas professors sue to fail students who seek abortions,” by Amanda Marcotte https://www.salon.com/2024/06/03/texas-professors-to-fail-students-seek-abortions/   “After Supreme Court's abortion pill decision, Donald Trump is even more likely to ban abortion,” by Amanda Marcotte https://www.salon.com/2024/06/14/after-abortion-pill-decision-donald-is-even-more-likely-to-ban-abortion/   “A tradwife drops a racist slur: Why the right's trolling economy made Lilly Gaddis' rise inevitable,” by Amanda Marcotte https://www.salon.com/2024/06/17/a-tradwife-drops-a-slur-why-the-rights-trolling-economy-made-lilly-gaddis-rise-inevitable/   Bostock v.
