things straight women seem to understand intuitively:

gay men are generally much more attractive than straight men.

if she has to compete with a man for the romantic affection of a bi man she will lose.

from 1 and 2, if a man is too attractive he is probably out of her league by virtue of her gender.

if she wants to only compete for attention with other women, she will need to pursue unattractive men.

if a man is pursuing her, he's probably even less attractive than he seems.

if she wants to outcompete men for the romantic affections of attractive men, she will need to become a man herself.

it's much more flattering to insist you've "sworn off men" than to confront the alternative.

really losing my patience for any 'feminist' statement to the tune of 'we need feminism because women fill a fundamentally different and necessary role than men and will be better at doing x y or z'. like actually i think we need feminism because it is an unbearable death of the spirit by inches to exist in a world where you are not seen as a fully realized human being because of a single cultural determination, and because a world that enshrines such things creates systems that are fundamentally sick to the core

If fiction is only a commodity, then a writer is a mere content producer, or as McGurl puts it, a "servant" and a "service provider" while the reader is a "consumer." If a writer is a service working - a corporate employee/contractor - it naturally follows that a work of fiction is a service and is judged on whether it fulfills that service accordingly. [...] There's a subtle but key difference between being socially permitted to have your own opinion about whether something was good - whether it met your version of the implicit contract - and the decision that you are "owed" customer satisfaction in a literal, actionable sense. If you read a book or saw a movie and you didn't like it, you're allowed to say so: but it's not a mattress, and you don't get your money back. But on the other hand, if a novel or film or TV show isn't art, only more stuff you bought, then the writer does owe you, as does the corporation who sold you that product, from whom you can demand everything you want.

the thing that bewilders me about a lot of fantasy readers is that they read about settings and plots featuring imperialism, war, and slavery and then call the inclusion of violence, abuse, and sexual exploitation "edgy" and "gratuitous" and it's like what did you think was happening. why were you under the impression that you were going to get a cozy story about fascism or something. far be it from me to criticize anyone for not wanting to read about torture in their spare time, and there are certainly cases where heavy subjects are poorly executed, but is it not equally insulting to sanitize them for a feel-good adventure.. like no one put a gun to your head and forced you to give your fantasy novel an enslaved protagonist. sometimes writing is supposed to make you feel bad
