This comment makes me sad, because I know several women who it describes perfectly. I have watched leftism destroy them, their future, and the future their children could have had. Instead, they have to get ever-more extreme to keep in the dating pool, much less try and keep a guy interested. And the most infuriating thing is watching their mothers approve this folly.
Parental failings across generations is an issue I don't think gets addressed enough. With community more generally unraveling in the modern world, the role of parental guidance becomes ever more important, but there's a lot of families that aren't offering good advice to their offspring. That failure in duty is wreaking havoc on so many levels, even in good stable nuclear families that you think are doing everything right.
In this case, the failings were mostly her mother's. Her (step)dad was an excellent man, role model, wonderful guy... and her mom divorced him because he sided with family members who scolded mom and daughter for getting drunk at a holiday meal.
It's exactly what happened with Taylor Swift. She used to be an innocent country girl/farmer's daughter singing about getting married and having kids. Now she's 30, has become "thick," has no kids, owns multiple cats, is a vocal feminist, and just sings about being a whore engaging in premarital sex instead of looking for everlasting love or what have you.
I bet most people don't remember this, but feminists used to HATE Taylor Swift. That's how you knew she was doing something right... and that's probably also why she stopped doing it.
Doesn't really change my point. If the innocent image was more marketable, why change it?
I call it "small fish, big pond" syndrome. Girl grows up in small(ish) town to decently wealthy parents. Moves to bigger town, has to put out to stay socially relevant. Moves to BIG town, is still small fish, ends up getting swallowed whole. Ends up unable to cope with fact that they are small fish in big pond, dissolves into self-destructive behavior.
