This is an interesting topic, kind of what we're talking about when it comes to the independent woman, but an interesting angle on that.
The women who prefer to live as lone gypsies. A woman posted this article to her FB (I guess because she supports this). Another demonstration on how women who get weird looks when they travel alone.

To me though, this article is an attempt to target those with no direction in their lives, probably shirk their bills, rent, and debts (wouldn't we all) without consequence.
A paragraph that empowers their inner slut...
Here’s to the girls who look for love, but are completely content on their own, and who never settle for anyone who doesn’t deserve them. Here’s to the girls who fall in lust for a night and say goodbye in the morning.
Another part of the piece were they admittedly prefer to remain selfish, empowering a character flaw instead of owning up to it as a negative characteristic.
Notice how they qualify it with "As selfish as this sounds..." They qualify it with the word "sounds"
It's kind of like when someone says, "I don't mean to be rude, but..." then they proceed to be rude in whatever they say next. But hey, they didn't MEAN to be rude, right?
As selfish as this sounds, I’d rather live my life for me – the way I want. I don’t want to factor someone else’s plans, feelings or dreams into my life because right now all I want to do is leave. I want to go where I want, I don’t want to consult anyone over a trip, I just want to buy the ticket. If my plans and path change I don’t want to have to explain that to anyone, I just want to go. If I meet someone wonderful I don’t want to say goodbye because I have someone else back home to worry about.
A lot of "Here's to the girls who..." wanted to add, "Who is an STD-filled gypsy who shirks responsibility.
Not sure about what they mean about the "Never, ever settle..."
Here’s to the girls like me, the one’s who’d rather catch flights than feelings – the one’s who will never, ever, settle.
Anyways, I'm starting to see these articles pop up justifying selfish or ill behavior of women and putting it in a positive light. These are the kinds of people that can't take criticism and call those people who do criticize them, legitimately, as being "negative' or "draining their energy"
There is also an article that counters this one.

It gives the real deal that counters the above article.
