i love when ppl Online are like "lolita is about how WOMEN are silenced" like i love nabokov but a) that man was NOT a feminist and b) dolores gender was entirely decided by the fact that his own child was a boy and if he'd had a girl the child in lolita would have been a boy he said that himself also male csa victims do not fare better in being believed and acting otherwise is not feminist i beg you to think for a hot second before posting

#lolita novel #vladimir nabokov #also nabokov straight up thought women couldnt write as well as men lets not give him more cookies than he deserves lol #sorry if this is controversial but im tired #the effort to make this a gender issue primarily is soooo harmful #like obvs there are specifically gendered ways in the way survivors are treated #but 'lolita is about hashtag girlhood' is both factually wrong and unhelpful #the RESPONSE to lolita certainly is in many ways #but thats a more nuanced discussion already
