I just found out that Anne Hathaway optioned the rights to a book about a modern tradwife influencer who wakes up in 1855 and has to live the life that she’s been selling to her followers online. I am SCREAMING

@Khuze_Elikhulu At this rate, she never sobered up, even if she left the bar in those 9hrs. Or even got the shots from different areas on the ship. So it could be framed as "you served that much alcohol to a drunk person so you're negligent".

@Khuze_Elikhulu Very! She most likely took a bunch at a time, so 4/5 shots every 3hrs? I can see an "overserving" problem being framed as: you served her multiple shots, multiple times and didn't object/suspect a problem? Still ridiculous but I can see + Yew Es Ey.

I thought it might be a provocative title for some really good stuff. But sounds like it isn't. I think it's important to read bad work. Also, how did he get a book deal??? Give ME one. I'll write Mzwa's Jezebel novel wehhh.

yeah i had wine but thinking about the book being nationally platformed on such a scale, the bold support from the crowd, the young men who'd arrived with the book in their hands - all during this rise in conservatism and the grip that the manosphere has on the youth? sobering.

older women in the crowd affirming his thoughts. the crowd was about 90% older people. amongst the few young people in the crowd there was dissent in the form of critical questions asked surrounding his, uhm, conclusions? he answered none

kudos to the catering team who made sure i was fed and was never short of wine. walking through that man's thoughts was mortifying. but even scarier, were the sounds of affirmation by older men in the crowd who'd arrived with their sons. young men with the book in their hands

very much had his mother-wound bleeding all over his views on his upbringing. and well, the mother-wounded boy child to raging misogynist man is one that every cishet man should look into. lest you end up like...that.

displayed a embarrasingly poor understanding of the operations of gender dynamics within the black intracommunal context. i don't think writer reads the work of feminist scholars at all. he also mentions that he used AI in his research for the book (whole other can of worms)

he speaks of boy children being unable to perform well academically because of their high testosterone levels, which in his words, results in boy children being unable to focus as they suffer from erections because they're being taught by women

according to writer, the girl child performs better at school because her prefrontal cortex is more developed, while the school system neglects that the boy child suffers from alexithyma (a neuropsychological difficulty in processing or describing one's emotions). uhm.

he foregrounds his analysis of the disparity between boy children's academic performance and that of the girl's in very blunt bioessentialist rhetoric

in outlining the motivations for his writing he starts by mentioning how the topic of poverty's effects on general human development is understudied. off the bat i can tell that this man has not engaged any of the extensive research that covers the scope of this subject
