Exploited Moms - Felicia: [best]

This paper examines the structural and interpersonal mechanisms that lead to the exploitation of single mothers, using the archetypal figure “Felicia” as a focal point. While the name represents a composite of documented cases, the analysis focuses on three primary vectors of exploitation: labor (gig economy and MLMs), housing (rental discrimination and eviction vulnerability), and digital/social (sugar dating and content creation). The paper argues that Felicia’s exploitation is not a series of individual poor choices but a predictable outcome of systemic gaps in childcare, family law, and social safety nets.
