Reflections - "How to Think Like a Woman" by Regan Penaluna

DESCRIPTION

Ramblings by a boy who probably has no idea what he's talking about

Edit: Something I thought was amazing to think about but I completely forgot to mention while recording is that Regan writes how in the past, men would often use criticisms of grammar to dismiss the works of female writers as not worth reading or frame their work as unintellectual. They gate kept education and reading and writing by preventing girls from going to school and getting proper educations, and then weaponized their lack of formal education as proof that women are not worth listening to. It's the exact same system we have now where we dismiss immigrants and POC as unintelligent because they do not speak or write in "academic English" and gloss over art and literature that is otherwise groundbreaking.
