In today's episode, Elle delves into the phenomenon of "princess treatment" from provider men as the latest status symbol among women. She explains how women's increased economic power and educational achievements have shifted traditional markers of high status. Elle discusses how women now use this new status symbol to communicate their value, but emphasizes the need to include more women in this category to raise standards for men. Elle explores the mismatch in the marriage market, citing studies that show a shortage of economically attractive men for women to marry. This shortage has made "provider men" a coveted status symbol. She also highlights the implications of this trend on dating and marriage, referencing various research findings. Elle stresses that while "princess treatment" is aspirational, it should ultimately help women recognize their inherent worth and set higher expectations for their partners. She warns against allowing this trend to divide women or place their value in the hands of men. Instead, she advocates for using the trend to empower women to demand better treatment and foster stronger, more respectful relationships.
