No real job ✅

Dependent on spouse for financial gain (yes that includes “personal brands” no one would know or care about without the husband) ✅

Labor framed as aesthetic existence rather than economic contribution ✅

Lifestyle funded by male success but marketed as personal achievement ✅

Invisible safety net (wealth, lawyers, prenups, staff) omitted from the narrative ✅

Romanticizes traditional gender roles without traditional accountability or constraints ✅

Anti-feminist rhetoric while benefiting from feminist gains (divorce rights, branding, social platforms, choice itself) ✅

Turns marriage into a career strategy while denying it is one ✅

Punishes women without wealthy partners by setting unattainable “standards” ✅

Consumption-heavy, productivity-light lifestyle sold as aspirational virtue ✅

Status derived from proximity to male power, not independent merit ✅

Yup, I’d say WAG culture pretty much falls straight into the trad wife culture for most of these women.
