When I first read this in The Female Eunuch I thought “steady on, Germaine, that’s a bit much”. I soon realised she was right. Twitter can be a hard read.

A man “praying” as the plane goes down while the woman continues to work is actually the perfect metaphor for patriarchy

I've worked in book publishing over half my life-- in every arena of the industry and one thing AI will never be able to capture is personality. When I read writing, the author has a personality that is the watermark of all of their work. A stupid robot can't do that

The fact is that if being a stay at home parent was so easy, delightful and secure, more men would do it.

Can we take a 100 year break from patriarchy and give matriarchy a shot? Just for science.

Men don’t want abortion. Men don’t want condoms. Men don’t want vasectomies. Men don’t want child support. They just want unlimited access to women’s bodies with zero consequences. SAY IT LOUDER!!

To blame feminism for men's unhappiness is to admit that men's happiness depended on the continued oppression on women

No one should want a future in which all creative & intellectual work is done by machines, where humans are kept as pets playing games in their homes. All literature & mythology warns against such a fate. Don't go gently into the dystopia they seek.

Girls, am I understanding this correctly? If I pay for a guy’s salad on a date, does that mean he’s obligated to come over to my place and scrub the toilet, install a curtain rod, and assemble a wardrobe???! 😂😂

“You’re going to get left behind if you don’t use AI.” Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long-form, and my books that I can understand without needing an AI summary.
