the overuse of validity wording and caveats by intelligent, well-spoken women has got to stop. to make that happen, we need to build up these women's confidence and challenge the culture of bad faith interpretations and kneejerk reactions.

one of my favorite youtubers for example, she'll get on a topic where she's concisely and bluntly giving her analyses on complex subjects. she's obviously done her reading and thought it through, and then she trips at the end to tack on a string of caveats "...if that makes any sense! but that might just be me, if you disagree and that works for you, that's fine too!" it destroys her flow and lessens the impact of her analysis, and every single time you can see her struggle to regain her footing afterwards.

it makes me want to grab her by the shoulders and beg her to grow a spine. if there are men with podcasts claiming as fact that disproven wolf hierarchy theory applies to human society, then you can speak with confidence on your topic that you actually have a degree on. but i understand why she does this because i've seen people jump all over her analyses and even her character with the stupidest, most poorly constructed, bad faith attacks possible.

informed intelligent women should not need mandatory pre-emptive disclaimers to cater to the uninformed, unintelligent, and angry.

There really is no female Jeremy Allen White. He is an objectively weird looking man who is now considered a heartthrob and is playing Springsteen in a new biopic--that's a romantic hero role if ever there was one. I'm not saying that's bad or wrong but I am saying no woman who naturally looks as wonky as he does would have success like him. Like he is actually UGLIER than young Bruce was.

They UGLIFIED Bruce Springsteen by casting him.

Meanwhile, women in human reality like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Gilda Radner, who HAD strong, distinct features like his, are being played by these people in fictionalized versions of their lives:

The fact that this is how history is choosing to remember these women is insane and bizarre. Truly, you cannot exist as a woman in public eye or public memory unless you are ornamental. Worse than ornamental, you must be generically ornamental, made on an assembly line, as female beauty often is now via plastic surgery.

I feel that this kind of commentary is not being made because it's politically suspect to talk about women's looks--and don't get me wrong, I understand what's at stake in terms of not just human emotion, but falling into misogynist traps. But we MUST recognize that this is a problem. It's one thing for fictional women with no basis in reality to be cookie cutter--not a good thing, but certainly a different thing. But for real women who actually existed to have their simple, natural, human characteristics erased and replaced with flavor of the month plastic surgeried generic Hollywood Female nonsense is disrespectful in the extreme. (Especially because Gilda Radner and RBG were Jewish and their Jewish features would have deeply impacted their lives.)

I feel like many adult women are making themselves functionally illiterate by refusing to read anything but YA and very simple, straightforward romance. Basically for books what McDonald's is for food. Already digested and regurgitated to make it as unchallenging as possible. And it IS women, it's almost only women both writing and reading this shit! It's women making a whole social media persona about being a "reader" but skipping whole paragraphs because they don't contain spoken lines and it's too boring and too long. The market is fucking flooded with absolute garbage. To me this looks like female anti-intellectualism.

Suffragettes didn't just fight for women's voting rights.

They fought for the right for women to own property, domestic violence protections, the right to initiate divorce, the right to have legal standing in courts, the right to obtain guardianship of their children during instances of divorce.

I'm sure you've heard men complain about women always getting custody in court, but prior to World War I, in cases of separation, men obtained guardianship of kids.

The right to an equal education, domestic violence protections, the right to not just vote but run for political office, advocating against the prostitution of women.

Here's a suffragette trying to persuade a sea of men about these things:
