“The reason why men want an independent woman is to borrow money from them. There’s no woman I know that hasn’t borrowed a guy money.”
Her statement quickly triggered widespread conversations online. While many women agreed with her based on personal experiences, others pushed back, insisting that independence should not be reduced to financial exploitation.
