Are We in the Hot Mom™ Era?
Mon Feb 02 2026
This week, we unpack two hot takes on modern motherhood. First, we dive into the Wall Street Journal’s “Tyranny of the ‘Hot Mom,’” about the cultural pressure for moms to look hot while still doing literally everything else. Then we turn to The Cut’s provocative Brooding essay on the power mothers hold at home—and why sharing it isn’t as simple as it sounds. Is this era empowering, exhausting, or just another set of expectations for women to live up to?
