Right - she definitely doesn’t sound economically empowered; then again, he doesn’t sound ‘empowered’ either.

He wasn’t so empowered as evidenced by his string of poor choices (and neither were the women). The whole advantage of being ‘economically empowered’ (for a woman per the thread but it applies to men too) is lack of dependence and the ability to make sound, rational choices as it pertains to matters of the heart. Economic (or emotional) dependency result in poor choices which, in turn, stifles ‘empowerment’, no matter how much money one earns.

A common theme of this thread is far too low a bar for what qualifies as "economically empowered"
... having a job, even one that pays well, is not it.

The scarier theme is the isolation that so many twist notions of independence into.
