The Emotional Gold Digger

The idea of an emotional gold digger was first touched on in 2016 by writer Aaron Rodgers with a tweet that continues to be reposted on social media. Women feel increasingly burdened by unpaid emotional labor as they wise up to the toll of toxic masculinity, which keeps men isolated and incapable of leaning on each other. Artist Lindsey Johnson jokingly calls herself everyone's beckoned call girl because she takes care of her brothers when their wives can't.
