Your Friend Is NOT Your Man: When Princess Treatment & “I’m Just A Girl” Enter Female Friendships

Your Friend Is NOT Your Man: When Princess Treatment & “I’m Just A Girl” Enter Female Friendships23 Aug1 h 15 min

In this episode of To My Sisters, Courtney and Renée ask whether female friendships are becoming too romanticised, unpacking “princess treatment,” possessiveness, dependency and the pressure some women feel to become the provider, planner, protector or even “boyfriend” in their friendships. The conversation expands into “I’m just a girl” culture, adulthood, masculinity and femininity, the impact of being chronically online, dating for social approval, and why character matters more than internet archetypes. Ultimately, they explore how unresolved pain can shape the way we treat others, why healthy friendship requires reciprocity, and the importance of seeing the people in our lives as human beings rather than roles created to fulfil our needs.
