A recent post by a man on social media sparked outrage with its sweeping generalization about young women and material possessions. In the post, he wrote:
“All you young girls that are using expensive phones that your parents or family members did not buy for you. What you’re doing is prostitution.”
The comment drew criticism for conflating financial independence or personal ownership with immoral behavior. It reflects a dangerous tendency to police women’s choices and enforce outdated stereotypes about how they acquire wealth or status. Critics argue that such rhetoric is not only inaccurate but harmful, as it shames women for exercising autonomy over their lives and perpetuates the stigmatization of female ambition and independence. The post highlights the ongoing societal struggle with gendered double standards and moral judgment.
