Truly this is one of your best essays yet. Thank you from my heart and my brain.
This also makes me think of another recent fad. The “stay at home girlfriend”, described by one source as “ a lifestyle and concept . A viral TikTok trend: Gen Z women without kids opting out of the workforce to cook and clean for their boyfriend and to post about it all on the internet”
I get it: saying or labeling something “cute and catchy” might lead to viral and yep, $$$$$$$. But at what cost… to the woman writing the piece and to the women in our world?
Look, I am a big fan of capitalism and pulling one’s self up by the boot straps. But not this current , “pervasive, world-level of greed-capitalism” where no prisoners are taken and nothing is sacred in the name of the almighty buck.
Thanks again, Vanessa, for expertly addressing this silly and careless “ lazy girl jobs” abomination.
