What is a trophy wife?

A trophy wife is a derogatory term used to describe a woman who is typically younger, attractive, and married to a wealthy, successful man. The term implies that the woman is valued more for her looks and social status than for her intelligence, personality, or achievements. Trophy wives are often seen as status symbols for their husbands, showcasing their wealth and power to others. Critics argue that the concept of a trophy wife perpetuates sexist and shallow stereotypes about women and relationships.
