Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion
by Jia Tolentino
The best parts were about the #girlboss, women in the trump administration, and how to be feminist at the intersection of patriarchy and capitalism, where individual success comes at the expense of collective morality.
“A big smiling wave of feminist initiatives and female entrepreneurs had convincingly framed wealth acquisition as progressive politics”.
“There are rewards for succeeding under patriarchy and capitalism; there are rewards for even being willing to work on its terms. There are nothing but rewards, at the surface level. The trap looks beautiful. It’s well-lit. It welcomes you in.”
“But our culture has configured women’s liberty as corrosion, and for a long time, there was no way for women to be both free and good.”
