In a recent interview that has ignited a firestorm on social media, Boonie Blue, who proudly labels herself as empowered, attempted to rationalize hypersexualization and promiscuity as instruments of female liberation. Rather than inspiring admiration, her remarks highlight a troubling trend within modern feminism that seems to steer many young women toward moral ambiguity, diminished dignity, and the commercialization of their bodies.
In Blue’s own words:
“Yes, it’s empowering for women, not just for me, but for other women. Most of them—the ones who aren’t lazy.”
According to this perspective, an “empowered” woman is not defined by her dedication to education, hard work, or nurturing a family. Instead, empowerment is redefined as leveraging the sexualization of the female body for financial gain, as if this were the pinnacle of women’s advancement.
Control… or Submission in Disguise?
Blue asserts that by engaging in hypersexualization through platforms like OnlyFans, she is exercising control. She claims to dictate what to reveal and how to curate her image, stating:
“I’m making money with it… I’m in control and, even when I’m not in control, I love it.”
This contradiction exposes a disconcerting reality: what is being sold as empowerment is, in truth, self-deception. When a woman expresses joy in a perceived lack of control, she inadvertently acknowledges her submission to a societal framework that diminishes her inherent value and reduces her to mere visual currency.
This brand of feminism critiques the objectification of women in media but paradoxically celebrates it when cloaked in terms like “freedom” or “self-expression.”
Moral Collapse Disguised as Empowerment
Perhaps the most alarming moment in the interview was Blue’s candid admission regarding her extensive promiscuity:
“Why do you think sleeping with 1,000 men was something necessary to do? Is there some point you’re trying to prove?”
One might expect this question to be met with skepticism. However, it’s posed nonchalantly, as if it were a badge of honor—a revolutionary act—when in reality, it underscores a profound crisis of identity and values.
Does this truly encapsulate the experience of all women? Has the women’s rights movement devolved into a marketplace where one’s body is exchanged for clicks, views, and subscriptions?
Selective Feminism: Who Gets to Decide What’s Empowering?
In a striking display of moral elitism, Blue implies judgment toward those women who choose not to follow her path:
“It’s empowering for the ones who aren’t lazy.”
So now, women who opt against hypersexualizing themselves are labeled as “lazy”? Does this mean that mothers raising children, young women pursuing medical degrees, or devoted wives nurturing their homes and communities lack ambition?
This rhetoric is not only insulting; it is detrimental to an entire generation of young individuals seeking direction, role models, and purpose.
What Real Feminism Used to Mean
True feminism—the movement that championed the right to vote, equal job opportunities, and respect for motherhood and female dignity—has been co-opted by a faction that promotes self-destructive behavior masquerading as freedom.
Boonie Blue does not represent all women. Instead, she embodies a vocal minority celebrated by progressive elites, yet rejected by countless mothers, daughters, and grandmothers who recognize that a woman’s worth lies not in the number of admirers she attracts or the revenue generated from her body, but in her character, strength, wisdom, and love.
What Kind of Society Do We Want to Build?
The United States must reestablish its core values. It needs to uphold women’s dignity rather than celebrate its degradation. Furthermore, we need leaders—not influencers—who communicate to young girls that their bodies are not mere commodities.
Popular culture has glamorized the crude, but not everything that glitters is gold.
