Being a woman

Feminism encourages self objectification

Yes, this was definitely true when I self objectified under the auspices of feminism. What I was actually: a tool of consumer culture and social media algorithms. Feminism is inextricable from the incentives of social media, which is why I’ve rejected it. It was actually just about self objectification and in

The undercurrents of competition between women are those only a woman can see clearly. She may think she’s crazy for seeing them, like I once did. I’ve now moved from heavily female to male dominated industries. The narrative about women in STEM is, like most narratives about gender in our society, incorrect and simplistic, alw

But if you see humans as essentially flawed and needing to be kept in line with deterrents, th

What if we were to not care when professional-class women call us racist or sexist for making logical arguments against their positions?

The culture that taught me to wield the power also denied that women had it at all. So, I learned to use it by believing I don’t have it, in all sincerity. This denial of having power while us

Women’s insistence on social harmony at all costs is problematic.

Yesterday, a woman pushed me too far at a social event with her pedantic interruptions. As soon as I pushed back saying she wasn’t letting me finish, she started giving that very white lady patronizing giggle and said something like “go ahead and finish sweetheart”. I then said I didn
