guy on the subway with one ear pierced, little gold hoop. other guy on the subway very quickly and subtly googling "which one is the gay ear". it is not the gay ear. visible disappointment on his face as he puts his phone away.

Happy 20 years The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe ! 🎉

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Like ... it's. in my mind a strong indictment of the arranged heterosexual marriage in societies where that is the only access to material stability women have: it prevents a true and totally voluntary and uncoerced union between two people. Which is a tragedy, I think? Like it's a kind of horror! and I think that's why a lot of stuff like selkies/crane wife/etc exists because this leads to a sort of cultural anxiety about this disconnect: this woman is supposed to be your most intimate human connection, she sleeps in your bed and makes you meals and bears your children and breaks her back doing chores, and can you ever TRULY know that she's doing any of it out of love? Can you truly know that she wouldn't leave, if she had a better alternative? You kind of can't know! like the point is that it's an unanswerable question. And none of this makes Tevye A Bad Guy or their marriage Evil. it's like... baked into how their society works. I think it is understandable for some men to be really wigged out by this even if they're not able to quite out words to it or articulate what about the intimacy between husband and wife feels incomplete. But like, for men in this type of situation: there's a part of your wife you can't access because it is not safe for her for you to be able to access it. no matter what kind of man you are. because the consequences of your reacting poorly are too high stakes and she hasn't got any other options. and I think that lack of access is a stressful thing to navigate for men who can perceive it.

Tevye and Golde's marriage is arguably the best outcome of the arranged marriage scenarios available to poor Jews in the shtetl, and it's still... this. right? which is not irrelevant to the themes of the overall story: all three of Tevye's daughters rejecting this same tradition, one by one, for various reasons.
