No One Talks About How Much Being a Woman Costs
The Realm Talks About The Perks of Womanhood…..
No one warned us that womanhood would come with a price tag.
Not the inspirational kind.
Not the “invest in yourself” kind.
The quiet, constant kind.
The kind that drains you slowly while everyone pretends it’s just normal life.
In the Realm, we call it what it is:
Operational costs.
Rebel — The Cost of Holding Everything Together
Rebel pays in responsibility.
She’s the one who:
- fills the gaps
- covers the shortfall
- plans ahead because no one else will
- absorbs impact so the Realm doesn’t collapse
Her cost isn’t shopping or splurging.
It’s being reliable.
Reliability is extremely expensive.
And nobody reimburses it.
“I don’t spend recklessly. I spend preventatively.”
Lawless — The Cost of Freedom
Lawless pays in risk.
She doesn’t save nothing to what is considered the “right way.”
She doesn’t wait for permission, she just does.
She doesn’t believe safety comes from obedience.
Her money goes toward:
- escape routes
- experiences
- fixing messes she saw coming and chose anyway
The cost of freedom is volatility.
And she pays it gladly, with the mischievous grin of hers.
“Stability is nice. Control is better.”
Rage — The Cost of Suppressed Anger
Rage pays in replacement.
Replacing things broken during overload, due to suppression.
Replacing calm with coping mechanisms.
Replacing patience with endurance.
Her spending spikes when she’s carrying too much for too long.
Not because she’s careless,
because pressure leaks somewhere.
“I don’t impulse buy. I rupture.”
Vex — The Cost of Seeing Everything
Vex pays in preparation.
She budgets for things that haven’t happened yet.
She stockpiles.
She plans redundancies.
She invests in tools, systems, and exits.
Her cost is mental first, financial second.
Because awareness isn’t free.
It comes with a substantial cost.
“Survival is cheaper when you’re early.”
Meany — The Cost of Existing Unapologetically
Meany pays in conflict.
Fines.
Damage.
Replacement.
Consequences.
She doesn’t care about approval, she’s a dog.
She’s a dog that still lives in a world that charges for noncompliance.
Her bill shows up as penalties.
She pays them and keeps moving.
Meany: growls
(translation: worth it)
The Lie We’re Sold
We’re told women are “bad with money.”
What we’re bad at is pretending the expenses don’t exist.
Because no one counts:
- the cost of preparedness
- the cost of recovery
- the cost of adapting
- the cost of being pleasant
- the cost of being strong without backup
None of that is optional.
The Realm Truth
Womanhood isn’t expensive because women are careless.
It’s expensive because women are expected to:
- absorb shock
- self-correct
- self-fund
- self-regulate
- and still function
All at once.
Every month.
Every year.
Forever.
Final Record
Being a woman isn’t about budgeting better.
It’s about acknowledging the bill
we were handed without consent.
And deciding , consciously ,
what we’re willing to keep paying for.
