Wife Swap and Trading Spouses

Girls Just Wanna Be Swapped

Why post-feminist women enjoy Trading Spouses and Wife Swap.

By Dahlia Lithwick Jodi Spolansky gets swapped

If network television could invent the consummate porn for women, it would probably feature a gorgeous prince on a white horse with a bouquet of roses tucked under one arm, a fabulous Los Angeles hair-colorist tucked under the other, and whatever appliance it takes to fix the damn garbage disposal wedged into the back pocket of his Levi's. Female fantasy, particularly in the post-feminist era, is a complicated blend of escapism and pragmatism. We're not so much interested in ditching our lives as we are committed to living them—but perfectly. There's a whole Real Simple Industrial Complex devoted to helping us achieve this goal, and most of us believe we may actually get there.

Now along come Wife Swap and Trading Spouses, two TV shows that cater to a woman's need to both escape her home and family and make them over.
