“If a society puts half its children into short skirts and warns them not to move in ways that reveal their panties, while putting the other half into jeans and overalls and encouraging them to climb trees, play ball, and participate in other vigorous outdoor games; if later, during adolescence, the children who have been wearing trousers are urged to “eat like growing boys,” while the children in skirts are warned to watch their weight and not get fat; if the half in jeans runs around in sneakers or boots, while the half in skirts totters about on spike heels, then these two groups of people will be biologically as well as socially different. Their muscles will be different, as will their reflexes, posture, arms, legs and feet, hand-eye coordination, and so on. Similarly, people who spend eight hours a day in an office working at a typewriter or a visual display terminal will be biologically different from those who work on construction jobs. There is no way to sort the biological and social components that produce these differences. We cannot sort nature from nurture when we confront group differences in societies in which people from different races, classes, and sexes do not have equal access to resources and power, and therefore live in different environments. Sex-typed generalizations, such as that men are heavier, taller, or stronger than women, obscure the diversity among women and among men and the extensive overlaps between them… Most women and men fall within the same range of heights, weights, and strengths, three variables that depend a great deal on how we have grown up and live. We all know that first-generation Americans, on average, are taller than their immigrant parents and that men who do physical labor, on average, are stronger than male college professors. But we forget to look for the obvious reasons for differences when confronted with assertions like ‘Men are stronger than women.’ We should be asking: ‘Which men?’ and ‘What do they do?’ There may be biologically based average differences between women and men, but these are interwoven with a host of social differences from which we cannot disentangle them.”

they should make fanfiction that teaches you all those things you were meant to learn in that research paper you're meant to be reading

#the dunhuang fic!! #it's a post-novel-canon fic for #wangxian #they go to dunhuang and solve a case #and accidentally you learn everything about dunhuang #perhaps not research paper level #but at least enough to hold a erudite conversation among educated people

I’m so emotional about dinosaur stuffed animals,,, there are these creatures, extinct long before any of us were alive, but we found their bones and their eggs and their footprints. And we made drawings and models of what they could’ve looked like. And we made them into stuffed animals so we could hold them. We made them soft so we could love them. I’m sobbing

say you're fifteen and you see a swordsman dancing on a roof with a red ribbon, and you did not understand beauty until that moment. say you meet him near a waterfall and you spar together, half-friend, half-foe. entirely something else. you've wanted before, wanted to survive, to eat, to kill, to be stronger than anyone else. when you look at him, you want to win a different kind of war, one you have no experience in, one he has all he tools and medals for. you see him with different lovers hand in hand. you steal into his bedroom in the dark of the night. the two of you write a peace treaty together. during a storm he comes howling vengeance for a crime you did not commit, tears in his eyes. you kill each other.

say you never find him again. you find a man who wears his face, a man you think is him. he takes you home in red robes. you hold his hand while he wears silver and burgundy. the two of you drink together in a wedding chamber with a bright moon. you find a way to save him, you turn your back, and you never see him again. he does not show up to the memorial. the absence is the point and everything you love has slipped out of your hands before you knew it was gone. he won this type of war, you realise, standing there on that desolate beach, waiting for a ghost.

I’ve actually got something for wip Wednesday this week. Still part 7 of Before the Dawn, as very little in the way of writing has happened this month. But at least there more written than before.

So here is Di Feisheng, still not feeling all that good, but he’s making plans, including getting Wuyan to find out where jiao Liqiao put the Styx flower after taking it from when she caught him outside the Di fortress.

Tumblr is so exhausting right now. Tagging is not working on my phone off of chrome so I bit the bullet and got the app but I hate that I can't see how many posts are waiting for me unviewed on my dash. Just. Ugh.

And. AND. On top of that my laptop is back to not charging unless I have the charger plugged in and jiggled JUST right. And even the slightest movement will make ti stop charging.

Anyway. I finally got the hanahaki au typed out. I might post something from my fanghua 4+1 (I was trying for 5. I was trying so hard) tomorrow for wip Wednesday but in the meantime have the first couple of lines from the hanahaki au:

Fang Duobing leaves. He leaves Li Lianhua - no, he leaves Li Xiangyi - to rot there in his own blood. But Fang Xiaobao doesn’t. Fang Xiobao clings desperately to his friend, his partner, and stays.
