^ calling themselves “ore” sounds childish and coarse.
And since I’ve got boyfriends who call themselves “watashi” “Atashi” “Uchi” (and most other guys in my life call themselves “boku”) this oversimplification bothers me.
….but, come to think of it, my guy friends are not the “masculine” type…

Hooks assumed her pseudonym, the name of her great-grandmother, to honour female legacies; she preferred to spell it in all lowercase letters to focus attention on her message rather than herself.

I had friends (women) saying that Ito is just saying those things to get attention or things like she shouldn’t make a huge fuss about it since it’s not a big deal….. and we’re all around the same age!!!
