Recently, Gen Z has taken the spotlight for straying from the millennial girlboss trajectory in favor of a different avenue, including finding and being in their Soft-girl Era. They\u2019re avoiding the grind at all costs. But what about the women who came before them? What is going to happen to the millennial girl bosses? And how did they get there in the first place?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First, it is worth noting that women are waking up and realizing that Third Wave feminism has not delivered on its promises. They feel lied to \u2014 rightly so \u2014 and some millennials have shared their thoughts on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-this-average-american-is-voting-for-donald-trump\/\" title=\"Why This Average American Is Voting for Donald Trump\">social media<\/a>, explaining in videos how they fell for the lies and why they are now reevaluating their values, perspective, and future. They are genuinely processing through this reevaluation \u2014 not reading from a script. They aren\u2019t even angrily spewing their thoughts. They\u2019re just documenting in real time the realization they\u2019re coming to.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_739973\" style=\"width: 825px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-739973\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screenshot: TikTok<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These types of videos fill my feed, with women saying they feel lied to by culture, that they fell for the \u201cI could do everything myself, that hyper independent bullsh*t.\u201d This particular woman went on to explain that she is 31 with no kids or family because she was focused on making money, but now she is in a place where she is reevaluating \u201ceverything\u201d including her values, perspectives, and desires for the future, which she says is, indeed, a family. And she is not the only one. Many women around her age are reevaluating their lives and what they have been focused on for the last 10 years. It\u2019s heartbreaking \u2014 because these women <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">really<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  were lied to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The feminist marketing machine of the last 30 years has been insanely hard at work in society, and to not lean into it was considered weird. The nontraditional path was the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">only <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">way, lest you be considered a black sheep. But now, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-abortionist-says-its-his-lifes-calling-used-to-perform-30-abortions-per-day\/\" title=\"Texas Abortionist Says It\u2019s His \u2018Life\u2019s Calling,\u2019 Used To Perform 30 Abortions Per Day\">millennial women<\/a> who did not choose the road less traveled and, instead, followed what had become the \u201cnormal\u201d route are taking a good long look at their lives as they inch closer to middle age \u2014 and many do not like what they see. Even the comments of these videos prove this to be true: \u201cFamily over everything.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_739975\" style=\"width: 451px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-739975\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screenshot: TikTok<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The sad thing is that \u201cfamily over everything\u201d <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">used to be<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  the norm. At one time, family was what people prioritized. Now, however, it\u2019s as though you must mature and age into realizing that is what is most important. Another comment in this video reads, \u201cThis is how we will heal our society, glad to see more women waking up.\u201d One even casts blame on Beyonce, saying, \u201cYes! I blame Beyonce! Independent woman song the programming started in high school!\u201d There are plenty of cultural icons in the entertainment industry who have furthered this idea that women do not need anything or anyone except their career and themselves to be happy \u2014 just one of the many societal prominent influences.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/the-girl-bosses-are-waking-up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH: The Comments Section with Brett Cooper<\/a><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the end of last year, Business Insider published <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/single-childless-want-husband-family-2023-11\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an essay<\/a> titled, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI\u2019m 38 and single, and I recently realized I want a child. I\u2019m terrified I\u2019ve missed my opportunity.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  In it, Melissa Persling explains that she got married young, decided she did not want to be a wife or a mother after all, and began to resent the man she married. When they\u2019d married, they had agreed she would be a stay-at-home wife, but she fell into the feminist trap \u2014 and followed society\u2019s lead. They got divorced, and she spent the ensuing years focusing on herself, chasing her career, and dating people who also did not want to get married or have children. Persling did not want to marry again, saying in her essay, \u201cI needed independence, a fulfilling career, and space to chart my own course, and I didn\u2019t think marriage fit into that vision. I was content to look forward to a future without a husband, children, or the trappings of a \u2018traditional\u2019 life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then, she turned 38. She says she was amazed that she \u201cbegan seriously thinking about marriage and children.\u201d She goes on to explain she began feeling selfish and \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">went from proudly proclaiming I was too self-centered to be bothered with a family to realizing there was more to life than independence and the pleasures of living for oneself. My very existence started to feel shallow and hollow.\u201d She said the quiet part <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">out loud<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Feminism tells women they need to be self-centered, that it\u2019s healthy, when in reality, feminism glamorizes narcissism. And no one has ever seen a truly happy or fulfilled narcissist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Society has told women that nothing matters except themselves and that because they don\u2019t <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">need<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  anyone else, they shouldn\u2019t <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">want<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  anyone else. In fact, wanting a partner, specifically a male partner, is indoctrination from the patriarchy. And yet, we are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/a-mammoth-disappointment\/\" title=\"A Mammoth Disappointment\">social creatures<\/a>. We rely on community and partnership. We are biologically designed to both need and want a better half for protection, for procreation, and for community. Wanting such is not oppressive, backwards, or wrong. Rather, acknowledging such is natural. Furthermore, that certainly doesn\u2019t mean you lose your independence, autonomy, or individuality. In fact, the right partner strengthens all those factors with love, encouragement, and stability so that you can do good in the world and come home to a loving person.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Persling ends her open letter writing, \u201cIf I sound desperate, it\u2019s because I honestly do feel a little desperate. \u2026 I worry that men who want a family aren\u2019t looking for a woman pushing 40. I get it; I\u2019m no longer the ideal candidate for motherhood, and it\u2019s a scary truth. But I still hope to find someone who thinks I\u2019m the ideal partner and create our family together.\u201d I am grieved for this woman and so many others in the same situation. I genuinely hope she finds someone, and I know that it\u2019s possible she can.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For the women who are waking up to this realization, we should treat them with kindness. The typical Right-wing, red-pilled response defaults to making fun of them and throwing their choices in their faces. However, that does nothing to encourage or welcome them to this side of the aisle. The fact is, these women did make choices and they are facing the consequences \u2014 but they are taking responsibility. They shouldn\u2019t be shamed for that. And we cannot ignore that they did not make these choices alone. They followed the mandates culture gave them, and they were doing what they believed to be the right thing at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When women take account of their lives and values to make a change, they should never be mocked or have fingers pointed at them. Our society needs good women. We need good mothers. And we need good families.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent years, I&#8217;ve highlighted feminism&#8217;s shortcomings repeatedly.
