I have been afflicted by a terminal uniqueness

I need those people to understand that Penelope waiting for Odysseus was a fight for autonomy. She wanted to remain his wife, she wanted not to marry any of those suitors, she fought against an entire society to retain that very autonomy that they spent several years trying to steal from her by insisting (and even threatening) that she must remarry. Trying to act as if Penelope was forced to wait for Odysseus is once again another attempt at woke feminism wherein you completely take away a female character's voice and try to act as if the replacement you draped over it is 'more feminist' despite you literally silencing a woman.

i can no longer deal with swift after she invited the head of an ICE detention center to her wedding…. closing down those streets and making all those businesses lose money without compensating them was one thing but to support ICE so openly and in your faces … she’s showing yall what kind of person she is over and over and you still support her and it says a lot about you 🙂

Actually Taylor can you wait like a week before posting photos this was a big weekend and you need rest I need rest, let’s just rest and then you rile me up again

Hot Take: Hektor and Odysseus aren't comparable as husbands and fathers - Odysseus wouldn't have (and didn't in mythic tradition) put his country and pride over the well-being of his wife and son.

who up thinking about how taylor and travis’ wedding invitations not only appear to have been painted by her, said painting also happens to be of “the land, the sea, the sky” (with the sky being amber and golden, much like it was on the evening of their wedding)

about 90% of fanfiction takes place in a utopia where men are thoughtful and unsure of their place in the world

"you only like her because shes a woman" yup "you let female characters get away with too much" yes "if a man did this you would hate him for it" indeed

"I never thought eva stratt would kidnap me AGAIN," sobs ryland grace, employee of the month at the "eva stratt kidnapping ryland grace" factory (this has already happened twice before) (he actively persuaded her to hire him) (after she had already kidnapped him once)

everyone’s always like “she fell first but he fell harder.” No! HE fell first AND HE FELL HARDER. she just tripped somewhere along the way and he caught her

Autistic social anxiety is not "social anxiety" in the typical sense. An anxiety disorder is defined as an "irrational fear". So for example, imagine someone who is afraid to speak in case everyone looks at them and goes "what the heck are you saying you wierdo." If that person is neurotypical, then the chances are that they're very unlikely to get that response. Therefore their fears are irrational, and that is true "social anxiety". If you put an autistic person in that scenario, on the other hand, then probably the reason they're afraid of that response is because they've received it many times before. They're fear is based on repeated past experiences, therefore it is not irrational and not the simply an anxiety disorder. That's why people giving the classic social anxiety responses to autistic people is so unhelpful. "Just go out there and talk to people, it'll be fine," or "keep pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and you'll get more confident," don't work if the problem is real and not just in your head.
