Chronicling the ongoing intersectional struggle to liberate women — inclusively defined as the legacy kind and the transgenders — from The Patriarchy™, one microaggression at a time.
Having a boyfriend is a ‘political failure,’ ‘to align with men is socially embarrassing’
In terms of relations with the fairer sex, I barely made it through my coming of age as a Millennial in the aughts without devolving into a full-blown misogynist.
(People will sometimes unfairly accuse me of engaging in misogyny, whereas, in reality, anyone who understands the state of the modern West recognizes the problem is feminism, not women as such.)

Even by 2010 or so, after the program had been going on for the better part of two decades starting in elementary school, college-age women were already successfully indoctrinated to be borderline insufferable, by and large. (I’m obviously talking in generalities here.)
As a young man, my sex drive was still raging, of course, so, because biology almost always trumps socialization, swearing them off was not an option, but it was a slog dealing with a witch’s brew of entitlement, massive overinflation of their self-worth, and extreme neurosis — a hell of a combination.
(After ensuing experiences, I discovered that ones who aren’t swamped with SSRIs and birth control and nonstop feminist propaganda starting in kindergarten are actually naturally very lovely.)

Sex relations appear to have only gotten more antagonistic since then.
It is against this backdrop that the popularity of an Andrew Tate figure, of whom I am not a fan, doing cartoonish performances of masculinity while selling online "Pimping Hoes Degree" (PHD) courses to impressionable and frustrated young men becomes an entirely understandable and predictable phenomenon.
Anyway, “cultural critic” Magdalene Taylor here is kind enough to further illuminate, succinctly, just how mentally ill the women of the West under 40 or so, by and large with exceptions, are:
I do think that there is kind of a bubbling generation of young women for whom having a boyfriend is legitimately socially embarrassing and to align with men is socially embarrassing, but moreover it’s considered a political failure to be aligned with men in any way. And so... your own personal life is the matter of political consequence and that you are having a negative impact on the political reality by doing something like being actively straight.

Independent girl boss has had it up to here with the slay queen lifestyle, wants a man to give her a credit card and a car

Notice that she fails to rattle off anything that she is willing to contribute to this fantasy arrangement of free credit cards and cars provided by some man.
Because issuing delusional demands with no obligation for reciprocity is just standard feminist behavior, it likely escaped any notice; it did mine until I thought about it for a second.
Unfortunately, life doesn’t really work the way this woman thinks it does.
She’s already 35.
For any man who’s interested in the “traditional” lifestyle, wherein the man provides all of the material resources, is probably going to include having children on his wishlist.
And, at 35, this lady is rapidly approaching the cutoff point for viable pregnancy.
So it might just be time for her to get a cat — or ten.
