Über diesen Titel
The New York Times wrote about Mormon women on reality TV — and got it completely wrong.
In this episode, Jess and Hannah dissect the viral NYT article "Why Are There So Many Mormons on Reality TV?" — and what they missed is everything that actually matters.
The Times celebrates Mormon women's visibility on shows like Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City as empowerment and cultural success. But visibility isn't liberation. And uncritical trend journalism isn't the same as actually examining the systems these women are navigating.
We break down:
- The "best export" quote that accidentally reveals exactly how the church views women
- Why "elevated standards" is just trauma response rebranded as a personality trait
- How the monetization trap keeps women performing their own oppression
- Why male authority doesn't need to be visible to still be in control
- What the Times should have asked — but didn't
From the swinging scandal to Heather Gay's book to Kate Kelly's excommunication, the receipts are there. The women are telling the truth. We're just not listening the right way.
This is the episode the NYT should have written.
