The influencer and podcaster stuff seems worse - women really think that $100k is like a minimum salary, the "princess treatment", etc. - like feminism has changed from being about women being able to contribute to society in the same ways as men (science and engineering, etc.) to insane expectations.
there were golddiggers before feminism, there is no causality.
You just can't ignore the rate of prevelance like it's nothing.
Yes, gold diggers have more-or-less always been around, but they used to be uncommon and the butt of jokes. Now they're mainstream and celebrated.
