really curious about this, it seems quite polarizing and i've seen male critics praise it while female critics hated it

[just444]

also sounds very body horror-y from the reviews, which isn't for me tbh

So sort of like male reviewers of Poor Things who were calling it the most feminist movie of 2023 LMAO (or rather, when male reviewers love something that female reviewers hate, it just reminds me of men writing about all the ways Poor Things was feminist).

i liked poor things, but not for the reasons the menfolk wanted me to like it

but i can definitely see why others would hate it and respect that

LOL I think I've read that before. I def think I've read her book, too (Men Explain Things to Me - the book).

[peddlestools]

yeah, i love her!! there's this one quote of hers i think about all the time:

Politics is pervasive. Everything is political and the choice to be
"apolitical" is usually just an endorsement of the status quo and the unexamined life.
