it's giving "stay in your lane"
there's a certain topic that's popping up in my feeds.
and it's telling women that:
if you didn't come from money,
or have some other kind of unique status or influence,
then wanting a rich man and living a luxury life is unrealistic for you.
and as someone who is literally living proof that this isn't true, seeing this topic irks me at best and infuriates me at worse.
yeah, i know i shouldn't let it get to me lol.
historically, this isn't true.
most wealth, didn't start out as wealth.
some of it was built.
a lot of it was stolen or taken.
a good portioned was married into.
and the rest was positioned strategically or schemed into - a lot of "old money families" would rather you not know that the family member that started them on the path to wealth was either a gold digger or a social climber - or both.
and speaking of,
a lot of women that are married to rich men - are former sex workers.
i thought we knew this???
so this whole topic of unless you were born into it or went to school with it your access is denied, sounds like a mix of naivete and gatekeeping and something else that i just can't put my finger on...
proximity does matter.
i've made several posts on the importance of location.
you won't accidentally end up living in a world that you never visit.
but that's a very different statement than just straight up saying: "it doesn't matter what you do, it will never happen for you".
i find it interesting how quickly women are discouraged from entering or wanting this life.
people build entire identities around their careers and no one bats an eye. some even encourage and applaud it.
but the moment a woman says she wants a rich man? or luxury?
suddenly it's unrealistic and problematic.
and in some instances the woman is low-key shamed for wanting it.
i'm not sure why this topic and point of view is surfacing.
because the real conversation isn't whether it can happen.
it's whether you see yourself as someone that can have this life.
and if you're prepared for what comes with it.
