i hate reading philosophy omg. endless sentences of the author throwing around random words that probably only made sense to their own brain and then the insight of these "deep thoughts" is stuff like "people behave differently in different settings" or "people don't always act according to their own values" woooowww. and then there are "differing" perspectives on an issue and i'm sitting there reading those and thinking "but none of that negates the other??? it can both be true??????" oh and then also usually the issue is just that language is ambigous and it can be hard to put your thoughts into words.

#i'm reading a book that summarizes research on gender and my brain is goo #and sometimes i get genuinely mad bc often in class when we're talking about a topic i wonder where the hell women were in all of this #then i try to look it up and no one has really done any research on this #and as long as we dont know what half the population was experiencing i dont really give a shit about all this theoretical stuff tbh #someone wrote about how the physical sex is also culturally constructed and then argued this by stating that clothes and medical procedures #are different between the sexes????? ok but that's not what sex means imo?#like they are arguing that sex and gender shouldnt be differentiated but they do that bc they themselves STILL attach value/judgement to #biological sex #like....you can just not do that i think? X chromosomes = female and all that? there is no value attached to that?#yes of course “researches” in the past have said that females are inferior bc of their biology but can we maybe not completely disregard #biology bc of those idiots????#maybe i'm just too stupid idk i often tried but i really fucking hate this discourse philosophy shite it is so easily misunderstood #personal
