Tradwife: For Women Who Think Violence Might Be The Answer Sometimes, After All

I have seen two almost identical pieces of viral misinformation targeting left-wing people / US Democrats / progressives here on Bluesky in the past few days, so I want to quickly tell you about them. Hopefully this will help us all not to have a third round of this. A brief thread 🧡
