I'd characterize my spin as "dour and sullen", thank you. And no, lol, I do not want women to be encouraged to do any one particular thing over another. Women should be allowed to direct their own debasement, just like men. My point was that twisting this kind of grasping, overheated commodification into women's empowerment is actually cynical.

I'll just say this: there is honor in pushing yourself through hard work and long hours to build a business - and in almost every case, the act of building the business is not an end unto itself. The promise of material gain, and other 'superficial' outcomes is a major driver. There is no shame in that.
