Gen Z is so good
Gen z is so good, man. I was doing a crash course on gender studies today because we’re about to read Oscar Wilde, and I did the whole “biological sex, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation are all different categories” lecture and they were like “um yea we know.”
And when we discussed gender, I told them gender was a cultural construct, and they were like “oh yea. Like, men used to wear high heels.”
And there was one guy, one very masculine guy, who raised his hand and said “really? Men used to wear high heels?” And I explained that it was popular from the Tudor period to the 18th century and showed him this picture:
And this wonderful, open-hearted very masculine male student said “oh, yea! those are dope. I would wear those.”
