History PlayingWith / BourgeoisBohemian

** Alice does all the above, plus she eats a vegan diet (and may be a member of an AnimalWrongsGroup), [[HairyGirl doesn't shave]] or wear a bra, and much prefers essential oils over modern medicine.

* '''Downplayed''': Alice gives birth at home, assisted by a midwife, rather than at a hospital, assisted by an obstetrician.

** Alice wants to use her higher status to offer a hand up to people less fortunate than herself, at least that's her intentions.

** Alice's chief political belief is [[LackOfEmpathy "Screw you, I've got mine!"]]

* '''Defied''': Alice's chief political belief is "Screw you, I've got mine!"

** Alice had left-wing thoughts when she was a moderately poor youth, and even though [[BecameTheirOwnAntithesis she is now a member of the 1% that she openly despised when she was young]], [[{{Hypocrite}}the irony]][[HypocrisyNod is lost on her]].

** Alice had left-wing thoughts when she was a moderately poor youth, and even though [[BecameTheirOwnAntithesis she is now a member of the 1% that she openly despised when she was young]], [[{{Hypocrite}}the hypocrisy is lost on her]].

** Alice is a rich centrist.

* '''Exploited''': A politician caters to such people.

** Alice is a fully-fledged communist and far-left activist, and [[TheManIsStickingItToTheMan constantly preaches left-wing values and anti-capitalist rhetoric]], despite [[{{Hypocrite}} her own social status]].

** Alice wants to use her higher status to offer a hand up to people less fortunate than herself.
** Alice had left-wing thoughts when she was a youth, and even though [[BecameTheirOwnAntithesis she is now a member of the 1% that she openly despised when she was young]], [[{{Hypocrite}}the hypocrisy is lost on her]].

** Alice is a [[WorkingClassHero poor, right-leaning manual worker]] [[PoliticallyIncorrectHero who scoffs on political correctness]].

** Alice consistently whines about how marginalized she is, and laments about the [[WarIsHell horrors of war]], starving children in Africa, discrimination and intolerance, [[NightmarishFactory the poor plight of child sweatshop workers]], and [[GaiasLament global warming caused by man-made pollution]], [[HypocriticalHumor while enjoying a nice fancy dinner on a private jet wearing an expensive silk dress made in a sweatshop by children... that she afforded by selling munitions to third-world dictators engaging in genocide against ethnic minorites]]. When she is called out for her immoral deeds, she proceeds to [[BourgeoisBumpkin play the victim]], as she is both a POC and a member of the LGBT community, and is thus exempt from '''all''' criticism.

* '''Subverted''':
** 1. Alice is seen taking her kids to be vaccinated.
** 2. Alice believes that GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion.
** 3. Alice buys eggs at the supermarket.
** 4. Alice attends {{church|OfSaintGenericus}} every Sunday.
** 5. Alice believes that sex should be reserved for marriage, or at least long-term, committed relationships.
** 6. Alice uses essential oils to make her home smell nice, and maybe as an element of a homemade cleaning product, not as medicine.
** 7. Alice is a {{Yuppie}} who works a corporate job and, in fact, is a very high-level executive.
** 8. Alice supports capital punishment for certain serious crimes, such as {{rape|IsASpecialKindOfEvil}} or murder.
** 9. Alice lives in an overpriced studio apartment on the WrongSideOfTheTracks, with minimal furniture and no cable, and works three jobs just to make ends meet.
** 10. Someone complains that Alice is not trying hard enough to make her activism intersectional, or is engaging in cultural appropriation, or what have you.
** 11. Alice's husband [[AngryWhiteMan Bob]] is a member of [[TheKlan a prominent hate group]].
** 12. Alice watches a RealityTV show.
** 13. Alice gives birth at a hospital, or at least at a birthing center, not at home. She thinks homebirth is too risky.
** 14. Alice actually holds a membership card of a conservative organization, ([[UsefulNotes/AmericanPoliticalSystem a GOP branch]], [[UsefulNotes/BritishPoliticalSystem Conservative Party]], [[UsefulNotes/PoliticalSystemOfGermany CDU/CSU]], or their local equivalent).
* '''Double Subverted''':
** 1. Only because it's mandatory at their school (though she can be convinced that it's better than not being vaccinated).
** 2. At the same time, she recognizes that unless it concerns ''her'' body, it's not her choice to make, and if it becomes illegal, those determined to have one will find a way (even if that way isn't safe), so she votes in favor of keeping it safe and legal.
*** 2a. Her primary concerns about abortions are medical -- specifically, possible damage to the mother's reproductive system that may result in problems with future pregnancies -- rather than moral.
** 3. She makes sure they're organic, free-range, cage-free eggs.
** 4. She's easily the ''least'' conservative member of the congregation, and in fact is trying to reform her church from the inside out to be more progressive. And she only shares her faith with people who ask about it.
** 5. She doesn't participate in SlutShaming, and recognizes that other people have the right to make choices with other consenting adults, even if they're not choices ''she'd'' make. Again, the main reason she objects to random sexual encounters is the risk of contracting [=STDs=].
** 6. She likes how some of the scents make her feel: happier, less stressed, nostalgic, more energetic, relaxed, etc.
** 7. She decides that she's not happy, so she quits her job and starts a business selling crystals, essential oils, and handmade soaps. And she sells her BigFancyHouse and moves to a tiny house off the grid.
*** 7a. Alternatively, her company, though big, is an honest-to-goodness social enterprise that makes its money ''by'' giving a hand up to people who need it.
** 8. She also thinks that capital punishment should be rare, and that it should only be used in cases where the condemned is ''beyond a reasonable doubt'' guilty, and proven as such by DNA and other evidence.
*** 8a. Alternatively, she still votes against it, because she recognizes that it tends to affect people who are poor and/or from racial minorities disproportionately, it's impossible to bring someone BackFromTheDead who was executed for a crime they didn't commit, and she sees killing someone to teach the lesson that killing people is wrong as a BrokenAesop in-universe.
** 9. She still votes for causes that support the middle and working classes, civil rights, women's rights, and LGBTQ+ rights. And she recognizes that though she doesn't have much money, and ''does'' perhaps face some other challenges (such as misogyny), she ''does'' also have other forms of privilege. She can hold hands, or hell, straight-up make out with her boyfriend in public. She can always find stylists and hair-care products that work for her hair type. She never gets followed at the store on the assumption that she'll shoplift. And so on.
** 10. She issues a public apology and follows through by learning more about those issues and improving the way she goes about them. And to prove her point, she shaves off her white-girl dreadlocks on camera.
** 11. All this time, he's been telling her he's been going bowling with his friends. When she finds out that he's been going to KKK meetings instead, she ''immediately'' files for divorce, applies for (and gets) full custody of the kids, destroys the photo albums associated with the wedding, has the rings melted down, burns her wedding dress, moves across the country, and never speaks to him again. She is terribly angry with herself for not seeing the signs sooner, and wonders if that somehow makes her complicit. (Even though she didn't know, and she's not responsible for his behavior.)
*** 11a. Alternatively, she knew he was planning to join as a [[TheMole Mole]] and ''encouraged'' him.
** 12. It's one that's educational, not something that appeals to the LowestCommonDenominator.
*** 12a. Alternatively, it ''does'', but it's a GuiltyPleasure for her.
** 13. She picks a hospital whose L & D suites are very home-like instead of very clinical, declines painkillers, episiotomy, or an epidural, and is assisted by a midwife rather than an OB.
** 14. Except she belongs to a more progressive faction of the party in question that at least to some extent supports welfare, gender equality and minority rights (think along the lines of Rockefeller Republicans, pre-Thatcher One-Nation Tories, the 'social market' adherents within the CDU, etc.).
