Gah! You beat me to it!!
SHAME ON YOU, young lady.
Exactly. Strong doesn't equate to Selfish Bitch.
I suggest you read the rest of the comments here; you'll find lots of strong and independent women (and men) calling out the whole premise of this Alpha Female marketing scheme for the steaming pile of horseshit that it is. Laying this crap at the feet of women who are strong for-reals isn't fair, the women discussed…

I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. :P
Gross. Just gross. If you want an open relationship, fine. Be open with your partner and see if you can work out something that is amenable to both. But cheating? Jesus, show some respect for your relationship or just end it outright.
Best line ever.
See, I can't get on board with this interpretation:
I'd forgotten about this skit's existence, and now I'm in a better mood than I was five seconds ago.
You have perfectly summed up what I was about to unleash in these comments.
I love the mental image of a four year old yelling about how Halloween is about tearing shit up and getting all crazed on candy. Actually, I want to be the parent of that kid.
If she or anyone else did actually think that spilling coffee and getting evicted were equivalent problems, I'd be first in line to give her a good verbal lashing; I just didn't get the sense that she was in fact discussing her ambivalence about privilege as if it's on par with other folks' ambivalence about buying…
My parents were dirt-poor when I was born, and now they're not. I have no memories of living in poverty, since they'd clawed their way into the middle class by the time I was in elementary school. I thus consider myself to be a child of privilege. I don't take this for granted, I don't see it as my due, and I don't…
I don't get the sense that anyone is whining here. The person who wrote the original post & Icchillin419 both strike me as pretty self-aware, very aware of their own privilege, and ambivalent about it. I don't hear anyone asking for people to care about how hard it is to come from privilege, I hear people asking that…
You're assuming that rich people are less likely to have psychotic breaks and go on shooting rampages than poor people. Don't get me wrong, I'm not attempting to shut down any discussion of pragmatic ideas, but high-powered guns are already pretty expensive (often in the high hundreds or thousands of dollars), and I…
...I'm not sure what buying insurance on guns would achieve in terms of preventing gun violence. Besides, firearms are already covered in homeowners/renters policies.
I think that's entirely fair; I wouldn't join in those calling for her to go to another school, but at least from my point of view, asking the questions in the first place stems from a reaction that this is a bullshit move on her part, however well-intentioned or misguided.
