no princess treatment, no pussy
Look closer, and princess treatment is really just the bare minimum that women deserve in patriarchy. And yet, despite all those feminist theory classes, we still haven’t managed to establish it.
“How am I supposed to know what women want these days?” a straight guy I know asks, and I totally get where he’s coming from – though I’m not letting him off the hook that easy. Should he pay for drinks or not, plan dates in advance, or keep it spontaneous? Will that little gift he picked out be cherished, or torn apart in the group chat as a red flag for some hidden narcissism?
It’s not just men who are struggling to figure out what’s “normal” these days. I have girlfriends who still insist on paying for their own drinks to prove their independence, unable or unwilling to accept … literally anything from a guy. And then there are the girlfriends who wouldn’t be caught dead going on a date unless the guy has curated an exclusive experience – think stargazing picnics, dinner in swanky restaurants, and rooftop views. You name it.
The spectrum of what a straight woman tolerates in the dating market is ridiculously broad. Too broad, maybe?
Fuckgirl is all about that Zsa Zsa Zsu in relationships, and I want to share as much of my empowerment for free as possible. But then, there's the other side. As Kesha famously said, there's a fine line for... almost everything. For me, there's a fine line between sharing my best ideas and exploiting myself. There's a fine line between being seen and feeling over-exposed. So, not all essays on Fuckgirl will be available for free. That doesn’t mean there won’t be any more free content, but I’d like to give you the option to show your appreciation for my work not just with likes, but with actual $$$. I really worked hard on this specific feminist utopia, so it’s for my paid subscribers only.
