Status Updates From Nightbitch

oops I forgot how to read (will finish this book before the end of the year though)

*aggressively highlights all of page 52 and 53*

I love the symbolism for her thinking she is becoming a dog to that of women not knowing themselves after having a baby. You become a new being. Such interesting symbolism

“Her sense that society, adulthood, marriage, motherhood, all these things, were somehow masterfully designed to put a woman in her place and keep her there […] And once she was stripped of all she had been, of her career, her comely figure, her ambition, her familiar hormones, an anti-feminist conspiracy seemed not only plausible but nearly inevitable”

This book caused me to learn about dermoid cysts. And I am now traumatized from my google search

And these are some of the exact fears I have about motherhood and being a woman with a career.

Typical man. Doing nothing to help his wife and child Whomst is crying in the middle of the night. See ladies, this is why it matters who you marry
