Here's an interesting article written by an early thirties woman about the trend over the last twenty years of assuming women are all powerful future bosses that channeled Lisa Simpson and jerked off to spread sheets.

Women are just supposed to just jerk off to our own smug sense of satisfaction, day in and day out, until we’re just piles of Boniva dust.

People act like women turn 26 and suddenly get horny for Excel spreadsheets, as if it’s evolutionary biology, instead of women being forced to act that way, by a society that devalues our creativity, devalues our pleasure, and only even pretends to respect us when we go all in-on capitalism at its ugliest, and do the work that no one else wants to do.

While true girlbossism is about glamour and million-dollar deals and secretly firing your cofounder, I witnessed workplaces dominated by trickle-down girlbossism — the belief that moderate success and security could be yours, if only you were vicious and organized and started your workday at 5 a.m. Trickle-down girlbossism held that side hustles, and answering work emails at 10pm AND 6 am, and using ill-begotten Adderall prescriptions to do your pointless office work faster, were all feminist enterprises. And to not be this focused, this devoted, this jacked-up on pharmaceuticals, was an affront to feminism.

It just promised that you’d be powerful enough to eventually abuse someone else and call it feminism.

All I’m saying is, we tried to glamorize being the boss, and it almost fucking killed all of us. So why not give glamorizing being a loser a shot? Elon Musk isn’t taking you with him to Mars when the earth melts, no matter how many articles you write about how you love commuting/ working in an office/ having your boss tell you what to do. You’re stuck here, dying in the boiling, elevated sea with the rest of us. Might as well make the best of it!
