I think anytime women get any sort of interests at all, it’s immediately repackaged into something categorizable. Oh you like Ottessa Moshfegh? Typical thought daughter. Oh you like hydro flasks? You’re a vsco girl how boring. Men never have to deal with people trying to box them in like this.
It’s almost like men can live multi faceted lives without being questioned, whereas society cannot fathom that a woman could have multiple passions and goals
couldn't agree more!! it's a never ending cycle of misogyny being repackaged in different forms. "you make being a thought daughter your whole personality" maybe they just like books!! or even better, they are on that part of the internet to celebrate this aspect of themselves, so of course they'll talk about it a lot online. people are too quick to view women as one-dimensional
thank you!! completely agree with people wanting to just celebrate part of themselves online - and that doesn’t give a right for people to call others one dimensional
love your response to the person criticizing young women writing about thought daughters and book girls. I agree with what you said, and it’s so unfortunate and exhausting to see a trend spearheaded by and made up of women being hated on so regularly. it’s like, oh, you’re tired of reading it? we’re tired of being hated on for it 😭 lovely post 🤍
thank you so much for your comment!! 🤍 I completely agree with your thoughts - if the hate wasn’t as loud as it is then we wouldn’t have to be so loud either!
we see it with so many things: music, movies and now books. and as a literature student, who knows that majority of students studying my degree are women, it feels so frustrating to have to prove that women read!!

Wait until they figure out being a thot and thought daughter are not mutually exclusive...
