What We Think

The Real Housewives of New York City isn’t woke, it’s just catty. It’s more interested in champagne-fueled drama than in remaking the world according to any ideological blueprint.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show’s focus is on affluent women living extravagant lifestyles. It doesn’t seem driven by diversity checklists or forced representation, casting is based mostly on wealth and personality rather than identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While it might lampoon certain aspects of traditional femininity by embracing materialism and drama, it does not actively undermine family, religion, or traditional gender roles. In fact, relationship and family themes are central, albeit with plenty of drama.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

‘Housewives’ is more about interpersonal feuds than promoting a homogeneous woke worldview. There’s little agenda-pushing, though dissenting traditional opinions may not get much spotlight either, mostly because issues rarely go beyond superficial squabbles.
