Whether people are self-aware of it or not the core idea behind many lines of thinking is that women are very stupid and incapable of critical thought, and that they cannot possibly serve as reliable witnesses of the world around them. People will make this assumption and then work backwards to create fictive parallel realities where it MUST true, all the while believing that they’re making an intelligent observation about Society

#m #surely Margaret Atwood is the ignorant one and not Me‚ a 20 something who doesn’t leave the house and has never finished a non-fiction book

i hate to be depressing and a killjoy but the new wave bimboism thing is not the anti-patriarchy serve u think it is….. like ur directly playing into sexist stereotypes for the sake of being “~subversive~” but the gag is… being a stupid pretty thing is exactly what they expect from u !!!!!!

i’m not saying don’t be dumb and pretty,,,, i’m j saying stop pretending it’s not playing into patriarchy. because it is.

#no shade to those of us who like being dumb and pretty !! #i also enjoy stupid prettiness on occasion ! #let’s j be honest about the fact that it plays into male fantasies ! #but like the great margaret atwood said #everything is a male fantasy so like #it doesn’t matter i guess

What is the Christian right’s endgame, I ask. Presumably they would not be able to create the theological dystopia depicted in Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel The Handmaid’s Tale? My question triggers a passionate response. Clinton speaks about how some states will make it illegal to abort after rape and incest if Roe vs Wade is overturned. One state — “and this is hard even to speak about”, she says — would require the woman to get the permission of her rapist before aborting. Others plan to criminalise women who have the procedure in states where it is legal. “The level of insidious rulemaking to further oppress women almost knows no end,” Clinton says. “You look at this and how could you not but think that Margaret Atwood was a prophet? She’s not just a brilliant writer, she was a prophet.” Clinton adds that when she was a senator, she voted against the confirmation of Samuel Alito, one of this court’s most conservative judges. “I found Alito was the kind of young man who when he was at Princeton railed against coeducation, railed against letting women into the eating clubs, and that was all in the background that I read,” she recalls. “He honestly struck me as one of those very self-righteous types seeking to remake society.”

GOD I would like to eventually publish my fiction someday, but I want to be sure it’s in a way that is the opposite of the Twitter/booktok/why is this YA author reviewing disney movies on youtube/celebrity writer personality thing

and like, I think making sure the content in my stories a. doesn’t fit popular formats (”fiesty” heroine who hates being a girl, love triangle-centered, I’m-an-outcast-as-a-shortcut-for-character-depth, characters who exist to tick off a diversity checklist) and b. putting in enough sex and violence that nobody can market me for adults who don’t want to rise above a 6th grade reading level will help that somewhat

but have you noticed male writers aren’t being packaged like this? The closest I can think of to a twitter-era-online-personality-author equivalent for guys is like, the auteur figure who writes really niche or intellectualist shit or is just an edgelord, but even then it’s like, I have a black and white author photo and a twitter, which I use to occasionally discuss current events, other writers, or to say that women are people once every six months (and I’m not talking about like, rock stars who end up publishing a book or something, I’m talking purely authors) or the avuncular or edgy grandfather types who are usually also Super famous (like idc Neil Gaiman)

like I want what current male authors have, I want to get published and be successful and for my books to be enjoyed and respected, I want people to read my stuff and be like “this book was great” and have no idea what I’m like beyond “lives in Indiana and owns 2 dogs”

#like if I HAVE to have social media #I want to do a Megan Whalen Turner and just have my tiny tumblr where I reblog fanart #and talk about what historical sources I used as inspiration and NOTHING else #and I think weirdly for male authors the more famous they are the more celebrity presence/less private life they have #whereas for women authors I think it's the opposite #like even as famous and online as margaret atwood is how much does the average person know about her personally?? #or deborah harkness?? #meanwhile all these less successful-- mostly youth market-- interchangeable female authors are like 'lets discuss my entire family history #my various marginalized identities and how I use fanfic tropes to empower my middle school self' #and must have celebrity opinions on everything and broadcast themselves everywhere #basically I'm not seeing 20 and 30something male authors selling me their books on tiktok #if it's happening it's happening somewhere completely under the radar for me #meanwhile dozens of women in panda onesies are constantly hyping their new YA novel #something something women and minority authors must sell their identities and not their work something something #like let me be the old school fantasy author who wrote a dozen bestselling series about the most bizarre shit ever #meanwhile you'd never seen their face and they didn't even use their first name just seven sets of initials #like you only get to know about me if I'm god-tier famous and then I'm using my fame to get my fave historical buildings restored #barring that I don't exist

"Farewells can be shattering, but returns are surely worse. Solid flesh can never live up to the bright shadow cast by its absence. Time and distance blur the edges; then suddenly, that beloved has arrived, and its noon with its merciless light, and every spot and pore and wrinkle and bristle stands clear."

you know aside from everything else, the thing that bugs me about so many of these Unprecedentedly Feminist Mythic Retellings is that the authors act like they're literally the first person to ever consider the story from, say, Penelope's or Helen's point of view, and that's just. that's blatantly untrue. like?? we're all standing on the shoulders of, if not giants, then at least other human beings who got there first. you're not special because you're writing about the women in Greek myth, you didn't invent Feminism for Classics Retold, have some humility ffs

#it's so gd performative I swear #i would love well-thought-out retellings from the pov of all the scorned and abandoned and mistreated women of myth #but not like this! i don't want to smell the author's smug superiority complex coming off the pages #idk like. not saying that these are good or unproblematic examples #but like marian zimmer bradley and margaret atwood got there before some of these authors were born #again: you! are not! special! #and i will not read books by authors who think they're god's gift to the classics! i refuse! #be subsumed by your story qua story instead of turning it into a pedestal to elevate yourself! #i don't care how clever or smart or good you think you are! i have a fantastic bullshit sensor #and i will dnf SO FAST it'll feel like i left you in 79 AD in you know where
