holy anti feminism bro, the other female peers in this book literally only serve to bolster men or be competition for a man. disgusting and annoying

pg 182 "HPSV. human parasyphilian virus. causes lesions in the sylvian fissue the brain". WHAT??? the sylvian fissure is implicated for language and some reasoning skills.. why didn't you go for the hypothalamus, hippocampus, or nucleus accumbens, which are all much more implicated for sex drive 💀

as someone who went through deconstruction, i do like the depiction of how anxiety inducing and foreign (but also freeing!) it feels to start going against religious practice for the first time

i went into this book knowing i'd hate it, and every word confirms my distaste. it is so fucking pretentious and every sentence is so drawn out with prose and adjectives but it's not actually telling em anything at all
