Simmons, the researcher, said these influencers are selling a lifestyle that offers a tantalizing alternative for women aiming to escape a life of dead-end 9-to-5s, especially in what they see as a bleak economic climate. And many are tapping into their resentment against a brand of feminism that hasn’t felt inclusive, or that simply hasn’t fulfilled its promise.

“But I’m not sure that turning yourself into a project to seduce a man is empowering at all,” Simmons said. “It just provides a kind of quick and easy solution to a few women, but it doesn’t liberate women as a whole.”

mmm... if only there was a political project that liberates men and women together as a whole, instead of just few. Oh, well.

Weird trad angle aside it's so funny for your answer to rising cost of living is to date someone who can support a whole family on a single pay cheque. I'm sure finding such a partner would be easy with rising cost of living and all.

My thoughts have been going in the opposite direction, I'm going to have to start a polycule commune to afford a place to live soon

The bourgeoisie will force us into the polycules we hunt them with

Persistence hunting worked best with multiple hunters as it is.

i think the basic vibe is that by narrowing what you accept psychologically as living an acceptable life, these people can protect themselves by narrowing the amount of people they see as, well, people.

I read it more as broadening what you'd accept as long as they come with fat stacks

Talk about a recipie for success!
