"I don't get that. You're the president, not someone's crazy uncle."

Savannah Guthrie, NBC. At last, someone says it like it is, to his face and on national TV. Four long years, and it took a woman to finally have the balls to do it.

"If you’re pro-multipolarity then how can you oppose a coup attempt in China or Russia? That’s literally an extra pole." -Ulysse Carrière

And your fucking tiers...

Jewels of the intellect lately.

[elisaenglish]

As someone who has spent her entire adult life exploring the study of literature, I am acutely aware of the subjective nature of reading a text. Metaphorical layers, symbolic devices, contextual factors, confirmation bias that can colour a critical eye; I know it, I fucking teach it. But when it comes to my own writing, you need only to know one thing: I compose as I dress – for myself and no one else. As for what you think you know? You are not inside my head.

So before you start confusing me with someone who doesn't have her own hopes, her own dreams, a depth of mind you can't conceive, remember mine’s an autonomous voice and I'll raise it how I please.

Sincèrement,

Dear Not the Universal

Women start to feel stuck, you claim. They want marriage -- they need it. Purpose, definition and the ring go hand in hand. Everything else is a distraction, a diversion, biding time until his blessed proposal.

I'm going to take a minute, pause while it floods my system. I want to laugh, in a sick way. But mostly I flame to rage.

To imply that we are nothing without wifehood is appalling. Speak for yourself, if you must. But don't equate the female condition with you. Don't you dare equate you with me. Women are diverse. Unmarried women are no less magnificent than the rest. Fulfilment exists where we find our truth. And love? It's a feeling and a choice. One that doesn't require sanction by law or, for that matter, by priest.

I'm breezing along just fine, thank you very much. Fuck what you have to say about it. Here I am on the woke road, and I plan on spending the rest of my life with me.

How about you go examine your motives?
