More identity essentialism that annoys me so much.

tiny brain: lord of the flies with girls

bigger brain: lord of the flies wouldn’t work with girls because they’d 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 aren’t 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.
