Soft girl era and unfulfillable dreams

The soft girl/ soft life era is upon us. Its proponents tell us that grind culture, hustle culture and corporate climbing is an inherently masculine pursuit that leaves women burnt out and out of touch with their core feminine selves. The cure, they say, is to stop the pursuit of money and focus instead on achieving a state of inner peace that can only be attained by a dedication to self-care, relaxation and disengagement from anything and anyone that brings stress. These goals centre around having a male partner that is “masculine” enough to provide financially to afford the woman the option to not work. Tune into this week’s episode to discuss why this lifestyle can only be achieved by above-average earners and why it is therefore an inherently unrealistic pursuit that leaves women equally unsatisfied and vulnerable.
