car conversations so good bc of removal of eye contact expectation. let us all learn from this
we need more unpleasant female characters. not even evil necessarily. jerkwads and basketcases and people who just suck to be around. I want to read about women who I would never want to share a blunt with in a billion years
"I kind of based myself in opposition to what I perceived as being Second Wave feminism, which was really ignorant, and based on all of the stereotypes. Like that they have hairy legs and they are anti-sex and so on. And so I was, like, “I’m a sexy feminist, and I’m going to wear makeup." (...) When I actually started delving into the history, I realized that I was playing into stereotypes, and that I didn’t need to base myself in opposition to my perception of the past. Instead, I needed to learn from it and grow from it and seek out mentors and a continuation of things that had happened before, as opposed to positing myself as the new hip feminist product to be consumed. I was really playing into a lot of bullshit capitalist ideology that I now realize was stupid."
