  • 56. Princess Treatment & Feminine Energy
    Jul 1 2025

    From "feminine energy" dating tips to refusing to tie your own shoes - we're unpacking how Princess Treatment content is actually political messaging in a pretty package.

    In conversation, we tackle:

    * The TikTok video that sent us over the edge: a woman who won't speak to waitstaff or check in for reservations

    * How "feminine energy" morphed from dating advice into political messaging

    * Why Princess Treatment might actually be a suppressed kink masquerading as lifestyle content

    * The pipeline from "light a candle and relax" to "I don't tie my own shoes"

    * How this content strategically targets single women and makes them feel "not woman enough"

    * The real cost of romanticizing a time when women couldn't have credit cards
