Just met an anthropologist at work that is a Taurus (my favorite sign), our families are from the same place, and she’s a healer & psychic.

this is one of my more controversial takes, but history isn’t going to go when we achieve female liberation. “femininity” and “masculinity” as concepts will not evaporate. the goal should be for them to lose their associations with females and males, not for people to all become androgynous figures unanchored from any historical influence - because that’s impossible. we can change the terms to be less rooted in female and male, but the concepts will exist. we will still have “feminine” males and “masculine” females. and those who felt the “gender” was aligned with their sex in the first place. that’s why I’m not anti-drag, but pro reforming it. losing the pronouns, padding and female-centric language in general. those gay men didn’t start their “femininity” because they witnessed drag, they joined drag because of their “femininity.” it’s far more unrealistic to propose that, without patriarchy, “masculinity” and “femininity” would dissolve and we’d all be some androgynous uniform. because we won’t. history and culture do exist. and without them, people can’t understand who they are. we act through remembrance of who previously walked our path. making “masculinity” and “femininity”—even if we change the words—more accessible to everyone without indicating a relationship to a particular sex is the way to go.

if “your worst sin is that you have betrayed yourself for nothing.” was in the 12 commandments, we would have built society so advanced by now that Atlantis would have seemed like stone-throwers.
