There’s a very particular brand of TikTok feminism (?), where pop media studies are applied to the behaviors and expressions of real life women to suggest they have “written by a man” energy. The “cool girl,” the “pick me,” etc. These women will, I don’t know, listen to indie music or drink beer, which is taken as them trying to be “one of the guys.” I’m not interested in any two wrongs make a right mentality, but compare this to the feminist (?) “bimbo” revival and discourse that hyper-femininity must be some kind of subversive 4D chess that could never be “for men.” Why is one accusation of “doing it for men” okay but the other isn’t, especially when the one that’s okay punishes even the tamest deviation from femininity? Followup question: when will the internet collectively move on from “cat eye sharp enough to kill a man” thinking?

people love applying media studies to real life. Alex Jones ass mentality

“…I discovered - to my great surprise and delight - that Judaism not only permits questions, it sometimes even requires them. It happened during a study session with my rabbi, a pious and solemn soul. I was answering question after question that he posed me, as I had done each week for nearly a year. Suddenly he posed a problem to which I could not respond. “Don’t you know the answer?” He asked. “I know the answer,” I finally replied, “but I do not agree with it.” This ever stern rabbi underwent a total transformation. Elated, he rose from his desk and, with his eyes shining and his voice booming, banged his fist upon the table. “Baruch Hashem!” He shouted. “Bless the Lord! You are finally thinking like a Jew!””
