Toxic assets: Bed rotting as an embargo on the female anger supply chain

This manifesto reconceptualizes female burnout not as a medical pathology or individual failing, but as a systemic supply chain failure within patriarchal capitalism. Critiquing the neoliberal wellness industry as a refinery designed to merely lubricate the gears of emotional labor extraction, this paper calls for a radical cessation of productivity. By escalating Sara Ahmed’s figure of the Feminist Killjoy, it proposes “bed rotting” as a calculated customs embargo—a physical and digital strike that transforms the exhausted female body into an unmarketable toxic asset, effectively starving the supply chain of its primary resource.
