Feminism’s “Empowerment” Fantasy: Strong and Independent (Until the Check Engine Light Comes On)

This article speaks for feminism—once a movement about equal rights, now a bizarre circus act of self-contradiction. The modern brand of "empowerment" teaches that single moms are the pinnacle of strength, adult content creators are the CEOs of their own bodies, and men? Well, they’re apparently obsolete... until something actually needs fixing.

Nothing screams “empowered” quite like proudly declaring, “I don’t need no man!”—while simultaneously demanding child support, alimony, and government assistance. The modern feminist mantra preaches that men are useless, yet somehow still responsible for the financial well-being of the very families they’re told they aren’t needed for.

Of course, in the grand tale of independence, there’s always a convenient villain—the “deadbeat dad”. But let’s be honest: if independence was really the goal, why not just opt out of support payments altogether? Oh right, because “empowerment” apparently requires other people’s money.

One of the funniest aspects of modern feminism is how they took one of history’s oldest professions—one that was once seen as exploitative—and repackaged it as "financial independence." “I’m a girlboss! I sell feet pics online and make more than doctors!”

Sure, it sounds cute at 22. The money flows in, the simps keep spending, and it’s all fun and games—until that dreaded algorithm change or platform ban wipes out the income overnight. Then comes the panic:

• “Why is my content getting pirated?”
• “Why do people judge me for my past?”
• “Why can’t I get a ‘real’ job now?”

Funny how "empowerment" often turns into regret when the money dries up, the audience moves on to younger models, and the "content" is permanently archived on the internet for future employers (or kids) to stumble upon.

“We Don’t Need Men”... Until the Car Breaks Down

And then, there’s the funniest contradiction of all: the practical side of life. It’s all fun and games until the check engine light pops on. Suddenly, “I don’t need a man” becomes:

• “Can someone help me change my tire?”
• “Can you carry this heavy thing for me?”
• “I don’t understand why my mechanic is overcharging me!”

Nothing dismantles the illusion of radical self-sufficiency faster than a busted alternator or a leaking faucet. And that’s when reality sets in: maybe, just maybe, men do serve a purpose beyond being ATM machines or emotional punching bags.

The Uncomfortable Truth

The issue isn’t that women can’t be independent—it’s that modern feminism sells a version of “empowerment” that conveniently ignores reality. True independence isn’t about rejecting men or selling “spicy content” to random strangers online; it’s about being self-sufficient in the actual sense—financially, emotionally, and practically.

But hey, who needs self-awareness when you have social media validation? Now, excuse me while I watch the next viral video of a "girlboss" crying about why her dating prospects have mysteriously disappeared after a decade of being "empowered".
