Gen Z women say they've had enough financially supporting — and parenting — their boyfriends [The woman in this article has two jobs. Her unemployed boyfriend is a communist.]

Naomi is a 24 year old, lives on Manhattan's Upper East Side and earns six figures working two retail jobs. Her boyfriend, meanwhile, spent much of his time at her apartment lying in bed and scrolling through Instagram Reels.

Naomi helped him fix his résumé, pushed him to apply for jobs and, while he figured out his next move, picked up the tab for nearly everything. But the money was only part of what bothered her. Naomi told The Cut that his lack of income seemed to double as an excuse to put little effort into the relationship, too. Romance, after all, does not require a six-figure salary.

"If you can't afford something, write me a love letter," she told The Cut. "He could have literally made me Kraft mac and cheese."

The couple eventually discussed moving in together, but Naomi decided she could not justify adding another person to her monthly expenses.

For Naomi, the frustration went beyond her boyfriend being unemployed. She felt his attitude toward work had become part of the problem.

He identified as a communist, spent his free time reading Marx and surrounded himself with other unemployed men who viewed caring too much about a career as embarrassing.

Feminism can try to change the world all they want, and indeed, they have warped society in many ways

But they can’t change biology and human nature

Women, even the woke, “liberated” ones, will ALWAYS want a man who will be able to provide form and protect them, and their offspring.

Usually its the other way round. The woman is the socialist feminist living off a low end job and gifts from parents.

Why date a communist?

So what's the problem? It sounds like the couple is politically compatible.

I don’t think any conservative would tell a woman to get two jobs to support a man who is a bum. I’m pretty sure every conservative would tell them not to do that.

Naomi picked her boyfriend because he doesn’t hold her accountable. If anything, she’ll trade him for one who’s even more Communist.

He’s just channeling his inner-Marx. I just finished dictating a great free. Audiobook: “The Naked Communist” and it gives a very accurate overview and description of Marx’s life. It is pleasingly un-flattering.

Paul Johnson writes about Marx in his book “The Intellectuals” and like the others he writes about in the book Marx comes off as a lazy, disgusting piece of parasitic crap.

"...Marx comes off as a lazy, disgusting piece of parasitic crap..."

11 words. 100% spot on. He sounds to me like a stinking, BO-ridden, food in beard slob.

“Manhattan’s Upper East Side and earns six figures working two retail jobs”

That’s when the “Tell me something that didn’t happen for $500, Alex” thought popped in to my head.

This came right out of a blue haired Asian with “smart girl glasses” wet dream. She made it up to perpetrate the “men are bad girl rule” garbage liberals have been spreading for 70 years.

On the other hand, any man willing and capable of providing for and protecting a woman DOES NOT and SHOULD NOT go after a woke leftist woman.

AWFULs need to be left alone, with their cats.

I just have a hard time digesting this article. First I think it is pro-slavery. Then I think it is a Babylon Bee article.

Normal people read this and shake their heads.

Women and men should choose wisely least they not have a equal partner but a parasite. It is really that simple.
