who else up attempting to apply modern identity politics to ancient historical figures

So freaking good

this is dense af but it becomes fire once you reach academic jargon flow state

this book is gonna kill me

this is very good but it’s dramatically deteriorating my mental state because as a teenager I experienced basically everything that has happened so far. the only change is the setting. which i’m sure is making my irish ancestors roll in their graves. sorry to them

The only thing getting me through this book is Lola Tung’s 8 second promo clip for Ripe! and that’s okay.

reading slump is over, we’re SO very back, shelley parker-chan you are an absolute beast

finally on part 2… reading such a detailed synthesis of the extreme physical and mental trauma experienced (basically universally) by women and girls throughout history has got me fucked up

I think for the overwhelming majority of readers, this text would be better in an abridged and annotated version. I wonder if a good one (not done by a man lol) exists?

“For man, there is no hiatus between public and private life: the more he asserts his grasp on the world through action and work, the more virile he looks; human and vital characteristics are merged in him; but women’s own successes are in contradiction with her femininity since the ‘real woman’ is required to make herself object, to be the Other.”
ABSOLUTELY SICKENING

the man hating lesbian stereotype is winning unfortunately…

i said “i need to focus more on my german studies” and then picked up 800 pages of feminist philosophy

can’t give a full review yet of course but this has sufficiently distracted me from a bureaucratic email chain nightmare, thank you KJ Charles for your service to my mental state in these trying times
