Is anyone else just struggling to enjoy books during this difficult time? I'm not sure if I just don't like most books, or if Covid-19 has just got me disliking everything.

I think....Hank just spoke about assaulting Dagny...

It's really annoying how Rand portrays the blue collar and white collar classes are two completely different entities. They're all humans.

"The diamond band of her wrist on her naked arm gave her the most feminine of all aspects, the look being chained."

You have no idea how it makes me feel to see another intelligent face, though a woman.

WTF

What is the point of this book? I feel like it keeps going on tangents and losing its purpose.

‘Success is doing what you want to do, when you want, where you want, with whom you want, as much as you want’.

This is not the definition of success. This is the definition of privilege.

"Doormats are like that. We like to keep our dug under the rug.'

The devil of ice cream. Mwahaha

Kate is being attacked by Voldermort.

In my family, wedding gifts are still for setting up someone's household.

I bet age and finances affect happiness and marriage. It's a shame she's not discussing those variables.

She's giving us all this numbers about 6.9 vs 7.0, but she's not mentioning if they're significantly different or not. So, statistically, this numbers are meaningless.

Why can't conventional things be considered special? It doesn't have to be unique to be awe-inspiring.

I don't think the term mental blanketing actually exists.

Correction, she cherry picked articles on depression and marriage. On top of that, the article is from the 1990s and outdated.

This book talks about psychotherapy yet doesn't mention anything about more women being diagnosed with depression. Very disappointing. There is no survey data on women's experiences with psychotherapy.

Maybe the title should have been. "The Myth of Empowerment: The Women's Self in the Domestic Sphere."

More of a philosophical discussion of women's place in society

"These oases of time in which I am simultaneously loose and awake are rare for me and I'm beginning to learn to protect them when they occur. The realization that these moments have value in themselves is still a difficult concept for me to grasp, since the only way I've ever known or liked myself has been in motion."

"My life is not just one big equation in which I add, subtract, and balance to figure out how happy I deserve to be."

False. As the seasons pass, over time the weather erodes the mountain and it becomes smaller. For it to grow again, tectonic plates need to push up against each other and push the mountain up.

False. There is no such thing as a mid-life crisis. The people most likely to have no meaning to their lives are younger people who don't have enough life experience yet.

Alex is a stalker :O
