friedan: FUCK freud, he set us back so many years.

also friedan: well, actually, he was right about homosexuality!

'we have helped [the american housewife] rediscover the home as the expression of her creativeness. we help her think of the modern home as the artist's studio, the scientist's laboratory (…). we help them rediscover that homemaking is more creative than to compete with men' woolf would've had a stroke

'it would be half-wrong to say it started with sigmund freud' is such a funny way of starting a chapter😭😭 that man was a menace jfc

"também se pressente aqui um pouco de histeria, claro" homens austríacos are a different breed😭😭

a obsessão de autores portugueses com incesto (incesto lésbico might i add… he just had to take it up a notch💀) tem de ser estudada!

o sr. silvestre merece tudo de bom🥺🥺❤️

beautiful art style and just as goofy as i remembered it. can understand why some ppl would say some things haven't aged that well, but being exposed to themes of genderfuckery and queerness at the tender age of 8 (!!) was so formative. it's still one of my favourites and i can’t wait to read the rest.

comaçim ela tem um capítulo inteiro dedicado à sontag?? oh she wanted to fuck her so bad😭

"ao reexaminar o trabalho de sontag (…) fiquei consternada e frustrada (…). não encontrei nenhum argumento, apenas colagens. muitas das generalizações ou sínteses de rajada pareciam-me agora questionáveis" i think someone might be projecting pq é exactamente assim q me sinto em relação aos ensaios da paglia

apesar de ainda conterem way too many 'pagliaisms', os capítulos de memórias são minimamente decentes.

she got more beef with ppl than azealia banks

vou ignorar o facto de ela ser woody allen apologist e focar-me no "quando andava na escola secundária, passei por um período de fanatismo streisand"

shes actually insane😭 estou genuinamente impressionado com o facto de alguém conseguir ser tão full of themselves. mas tenho que admitir que estou a amar ler sobre os one-sided beefs dela🤭 omg e a expressão "estalinismo gay" goes sooo hard
