The idea that a single woman might think of herself as the equal to a man was derided by the late nineteenth-century radical thinker and poet Edward Carpenter, who said in 1897 that spinster feminists were 'out of line . . . Such women do not altogether represent their sex; some are rather mannish in temperament; some are "homogenic", that is inclined to attachments to their own sex rather than the opposite sex; such women are ultra-rationalising and brain-cultured; to many, children are more or less a bore; to others, man's sex-passion is a mere impertinence, which they do not understand, and whose place they consequently misjudge.'

Percy “I am impertinent” Jackson really looked Zeus dead in the eye and said “Your family is a mess”

I believe in a lively disrespect for most forms of authority.

I saw somebody say that watching the Percy Jackson show made them realize that in the first books Percy doesn't even say half the stuff he thinks and he's just a quiet kid silently judging everyone, like they're so right.

Think about it from Grover's perspective. You know Percy as a quiet boy who certainly has his judgy thoughts but (aside from telling them to you) keeps them to himself. He's just trying to make it through school, for his mom.

Then his mom dies. And he loses the ability to give absolutely any fucks. He starts saying all this shit he never said out loud and to people who could do infinitely worse things to him than anything Nancy Bobifit ever even tried. And it only gets worse as he gets older.

Like bro went from quiet kid in the back of the class to fist fighting a god in the span of like a week. Then he openly told the gods to pay their child support. Grover was having heart attacks every other minute.

Vosper wanted the Colony in the Federation but was demanding better terms. D'arcy interjected:

A Voice: I earn my money by working – that's more than you do, Vosper.

Mr Vosper: Yes, working as the local tool of that monopoly. I should be ashamed to show my face at a public meeting if I stood in Mr Uhr's place.

Considerable uproar here took place, and Mr Uhr promptly accepted Mr Vosper's challenge to come up on the platform. He then characterised Mr Vosper's comments on the Bill, which had been drafted by the combined genius of Australia, as a piece of impertinence.—Loud applause. For years he had known Mr Vosper as a strong Federalist, his present attitude was that of a turncoat.—Cheers. He (Mr Vosper) had never been anything but a noisy agitator—Cheers.—He (Mr Uhr) trusted all would be unanimous on Tuesday and vote for Federation—Cheers . . . Mr Uhr then resumed his seat in the audience.

I love that any fanart of Juno Steel is either the most drop dead gorgeous elegant Disney Princess gown you've ever seen in your entire life or that same trenchcoat he's been wearing since season 1
