#istg shes going to turn me into a vegetarian

[qualitychaoslover]

I'm not judging anyone, but I think people might be tiniest bit hypocritical when they treat Asian people like they're monsters for eating dog, meanwhile they had bacon for breakfast. I absolutely could never eat dog, and im not going to judge others for eating pig, but pretty much every argument you could give for not eating dogs could apply to pigs

just searched it up and oh of Course the cis white woman is threatened by trans-inclusive terminology...istg white women do everything to prove how hard life is because of their ONE axis of oppression even when it makes no sense. anyway yes that's exactly it, it's so 'white-feminist' which is why it felt so one-dimensional, whereas the vegeterian was so complex and multidimensional because woc just Get it. and that's also why TEW felt so empty because it really just focused on marian's isolated pov to the point that literally Nothing was happening around her, she was just silently going nuts which wouldve been okay had it been shown well. anyway, i was really interested in trying to read other margaret atwood books but even disregarding her shittiness, her writing style seems too aimless and anticlimactic for me. there's a book that i absolutely love called bunny by mona awad, it leans less into the feminism narrative (tho it does really do well at criticizing rich white-feminism) but it still has that /super/ trippy and fever-dream aspect in books that i loved in the vegetarian so if youre into that effect i highly reccommend that one! i saw you reading the silent patient which i really enjoyed, have you finished it?

you really get it anon. the stilted 'white cis women are the most oppressed people in the world how you ask me to give a fuck abt anyone else' vibes truly reflect in her work. was immediately turned off from reading any of atwood's other works after that one esp when authors of color are doing more interesting things w similar concepts. nd i'll add bunny to my to read list! still not done with the silent patient i took a break from reading it to tackle the ballad of black tom but i definitely have plans to finish it since it came so highly spoken of nd im abt 15% in nd its been interesting so far!
