More identity essentialism that annoys me so much.
tiny brain: lord of the flies with girls
bigger brain: lord of the flies wouldnโt work with girls because theyโd work together and get off the island
expanding brain: girls and women are capable of violence and cruelty too
galaxy brain: young girls could build an equally hellish micro-society but it would function differently from the original because of differing socialization and men arenโt qualified to write it anyway
universe brain: girls aren’t some enormous mystery, and one need not be female to write good female characters and to understand the experiences of women and girls, just not be a misognyist idiot. Yes, unfortunately, this excludes 97% of men.
I think the idea of LOTF but with girls is kind of a bad one (but could be done well), but I bet I could write a better version than most women or men if someone showed me the money.
I am an arrogant prick, but I am also very good.
