I kept wanting this to reveal itself to be a satire. Alas.

so so incredible!
some questions I’ll be sitting with:
“Why does everybody think that women are debasing themselves when we expose the contradictions of our own debasement? Why do women always have to come off clean?”
“Why is female vulnerability still only acceptable when it’s neuroticized and personal; when it feeds back on itself? Why do people still not get it when we handle vulnerability like philosophy, at some remove?”

I must admit I didn't read the last 30pages or so because by then I had built up such antipathy to this book I just couldn't struggle any further. It rubbed me the wrong way, striking me as whiny and arrogant look-i-know-all-these-fancy-philosophers-and-im-an-artist-y. Not my type of book...
