realizing that sticking to the "do it bad" "do it scared" mentality implies theres also a "do it bored"

I’ve been binging Wolf 359 this week and it just reaffirms my favorite media genre being “the horrors are neverending but we stay silly” a la the talent show episode and the board game episode

It really is striking, the difference between book 1 and book 4 of earthsea; in many ways - the tone, the shape of the plot and how she tells the story, the language & turn of phrase, pacing etc - but the most glaring difference is how the women are written. It shows that decades passed between them. Book 1 women range from nice-stupid to malicious-stupid with the occasional evil-smart (but not too smart) and the story treats this as a sorta universal fact not worth discussing except in passing, to establish some worldbuilding ("witch magic is weak and evil and only men can be true enlightened wizards"). By book 4, most of the important characters are women, and - something I've found very rarely in cases of authors trying to fix past misogyny - it doesn't retroactively contradict the world established in book 1 ("ooh actually their society isn't that misogynistic there's plenty of women who can do xyz or be xyz it just wasn't relevant before~"), but explains *why* the generally accepted ideas of women are what they are, and you see that book 1 was the way it was because it was told entirely from the perspective of men. I just find it really neat how honest le Guin was about her past internalized misogyny and how she didn't try to fix it by denying it and doing a 180 in her storytelling, but wove her experience and her realizations into the world through characters who end up asking the same question she was - "why do I, a woman, always put men in the center?". She says all this much better than me in her essay ("earthsea revisioned") which is worth reading even if you haven't read the books btw
