"So far, this is an aggressively brutal reimmersion into nonfiction.....I had to start a powerpoint after the first few pages just to keep everything straight, which is making this take about 15x longer to get through. However, when the A24 gods decide to bless us the way they have, I will commit to completing my homework ahead of D-Day" — Oct 06, 2026 08:02AM

"Reading this book on a public bench so my soulmate will approach me with a copy of the same book he also happens to be reading! And then we start a passionate discussion, realize we are in love, get married, and shut down a whole city in Italy for it, causing uproar even amongst our most devoted fans (I am all out of better options)" — Sep 29, 2026 01:38PM

“I am supposed to be touched. I can’t wait to find the person who will come into the kitchen just to smell my neck and get behind me and hug me and breathe me in and make me turn around and make me kiss his face and put my hands in his hair even with my soapy dishwater drips. I am a lovely woman. Who will come into my kitchen and be hungry for me?”

“Maybe it’s a trade-off, some unwritten rule of the universe, that the smaller a girl’s body is, the bigger her personality is allowed to be.”

“And as I will show, failing to include the perspective of women is a huge driver of an unintended male bias that attempts (often in good faith) to pass itself off as ‘gender neutral’. This is what de Beauvoir meant when she said that men confuse their own point of view with the absolute truth.”
