Jfl. Sometimes I don't even know what to comment on what feminists are unironically saying.
But the absolute clincher is what comes right after the last bit when she acknowledges that there don't seem to be any men posting this.
JUST. FUCKING. LOL.
Gen Z want to work ‘lazy girl jobs’. Who can blame them? | Daisy Jones
Young women are eschewing hustle culture to focus on life outside of work. Perhaps they are beating capitalism at its own game, says author and editor Daisy Jones
www.theguardian.com
"I made a few coffees, gossiped and then took home a fat amount of tips, now I'm writing for The Guardian about how oppressed I am and get paid the same, teehee."In the mid-2010s, I worked in a cafe in a south London art gallery. Every day I’d make a few coffees, gossip idly with customers and then take home my little sack full of generous tips. It smelled nice in there, too: like baked bread, and salty anchovies fresh from the tin. And though I’ve had jobs more suited to my genuine interests since, that cafe job was one of my favourites, mainly because of the pure leisure of it. I got paid more or less the same as I did later, as an editor at a major media publication. But I was relaxed, all of the time, and never checked my emails.
Young women have taken to calling these sorts of jobs – as in, jobs that are undemanding but well enough paid, with little personal passion involved – “lazy girl jobs”. Mostly the term refers to menial office jobs as opposed to the service industry: people on computers, sending a few emails and taking home a comfortable salary. On TikTok, the #lazygirljob hashtag currently has about 14m views, and the mood is overwhelmingly aspirational.
Just fucking lol. I can guarantee you, I can fucking guarantee you that, if you ask them, all of those women, every single one, will happily confirm to you that they are completely certain that muh wage gap exists and is even worse than believed, and all about how we live in a misogynistic society that doesn't give women what they deserve and are worth and yadda yadda yadda.“I love my lazy girl job,” reads one post. “I don’t have to talk to people, only come to the office twice a week.” “Me at my lazy girl job that lets me do whatever the heck I want as long as I answer emails and keep everything clean,” reads another. The posters appear to be unanimously women – I’ve seen no evidence of a “lazy boy jobs” hashtag.

MOTHERFUCKER.Perhaps the concept of men being paid more to do less isn’t quite as novel or interesting. (Similarly, there’s no male equivalent of the “girlboss” phenomenon.)
JUST. FUCKING. LOL.
