Modern feminism has undoubtedly shaped the way women perceive their roles in society. It has paved the way for opportunities, challenged outdated norms, and inspired many to reach for goals once deemed unattainable. Yet, as I navigate my own journey, I find myself questioning the ideals of being a so-called “Boss Babe”—the modern emblem of success and empowerment.

Equality is a principle that most of us instinctively support. After all, who wouldn’t want a fairer world where everyone has the same opportunities to succeed, regardless of gender, race, or background? But what if the policies meant to create equality were actually fostering division, resentment, and, paradoxically, inequality?

In today’s world, pop culture dominates every aspect of our lives. From the music we stream to the shows we binge-watch, and the influencers we follow on social media, we are surrounded by messages shaping how we think, behave, and perceive ourselves. For young women, these messages often come wrapped in shiny, empowering packaging, but beneath the surface, many of them are deeply toxic.

In a world increasingly driven by the need to appear modern, progressive, and inclusive, expressing support for traditional values can feel like walking into a storm. Yet, I firmly believe that these values – often dismissed as outdated or irrelevant – hold timeless wisdom that our fast-changing world desperately needs.

Phrases like “the future is female” are heralded, while traditional masculinity is often vilified as "toxic." But here’s an unpopular truth: men are just as vital to the health of our society as women are.
