i know we’re both just messing around pretending to be whole but look at me. if the train was coming would you move. if the ground was falling from under your feet would you even notice or would it just be another tuesday for you. if somebody stabbed you could it hurt worse than you already do. what i’m saying is that i love you but i think we both drive over the speed limit when it’s raining. what i’m saying is that i want to hold your hand and i understand about how you sometimes have to sit down in the shower. what i’m saying is that i’m here for you and if the train comes please move.

When Brandon Sanderson and Jasnah Kholin send me on an unexpected journey.

I love how Brandon Sanderson creates complex worlds with rich and unique cultures totally unlike our own, like one filled with masculine vs feminine rolls and expectations that even influences your food, where men don’t read or write and sometimes notes are written that shouldn’t be read out loud so only those that can read know about them, and then he gives us this totally relatable rant by Jasnah Kholin:

“What is a woman's place in this modern world? Jasnah Kholin's words read. I rebel against this question, though so many of my peers ask it. The inherent bias in the inquiry seems invisible to so many of them. They consider themselves progressive because they are willing to challenge many of the assumptions of the past.

They ignore the greater assumption--that a 'place' for women must be defined and set forth to begin with. Half of the population must somehow be reduced to the role arrived at by a single conversation. No matter how broad that role is, it will be--by-nature--a reduction from the infinite variety that is womanhood.

I say that there is no role for women--there is, instead, a role for each woman, and she must make it for herself. For some, it will be the role of scholar; for others, it will be the role of wife. For others, it will be both. For yet others, it will be neither.

Do not mistake me in assuming I value one woman's role above another. My point is not to stratify our society--we have done that far to well already--my point is to diversify our discourse.

A woman's strength should not be in her role, whatever she chooses it to be, but in the power to choose that role. It is amazing to me that I even have to make this point, as I see it as the very foundation of our conversation.”

-Jasnah Kholin in Words of Radiance, chapter 65

Suddenly I was transported from this totally alien world and culture to flashing back to my own childhood and hearing:

“Girls can do anything boys can do!”

As a young girl, this positive, well meaning message, both inspired me and made me very aware that some people didn’t believe it and needed to be told. But I was too young at the time to understand the truth that girls weren’t being given the space to do what boys did. Still, that message, although a symptom and continuation of the bias, was sadly a much needed baby step in making progress and moving the bar a step closer to equality.

I know this is old news and gender rolls have been challenged and evolving for forever. I love seeing the continued progress, even when setbacks can be devastating. It’s hard to imagine that women have only had the right to vote for 104 years. And it took ver 50 years before women were allowed to open a bank account without their father or husband giving them permission. Women gained that right 6 years before I was born. No wonder I grew up having to be told that “girls could do anything boys could do”.

My children don’t get impacted by passages like the one in this book in the same way I do. And although they have continued to be impacted and struggle against the limits society has placed on gender, the messages they have received as a child have been different from mine, just as mine are different from those of my mother’s and grandmother’s generations. My wish is that someday this rant by Jasnah Kholin will feel like something completely un relatable.

The fact that ten heartbeats were mentioned literally in the first Shallan chapter still haunts me to this day.

!SPOILER!

And hilariously true

Character arcs in Mistborn are all so good and well-written but to me nothing will beat Sazed religious fanatic —> depressed atheist —> capital G God arc

[hangrytulip]

Picture this: you are just some guy, taking a flight and then like, half, the people on the plane whip out the same hilariously long book and read it the entire flight. Because this is gonna happen to people post Dragonsteel
