I hate how the booktokification of the “unhinged woman” genre has completely reduced the concept of female rage to just “girlboss” without taking seriously how important it is to unequivocally portray female rage.

Throughout the history of literature, we’ve been given countless instances of women in despair and in sadness but save for a few writers (take Euripides, for example), we’ve rarely ever been given angry women who aren’t the villains or the foil for the perfect poised passive princess. Female rage has constantly been subdued and erased or warped into “she’s just batshit crazy” in pretty much every society.

And now that publishing and media marketing has reduced women showing rage in books to the “white hypersexual girlboss with a knife”, instead of uplifting the way women are allowed to have more dimension and sympathy in their visible anger than ever in literature, the media still isn’t taking this subgenre seriously.

Bunny - Mona Awad

(Let me illustrate some book covers pls)

[knightsickness]

mona awad’s bunny is fun and topical gender and class commentary specifically tearing apart that genre of woman intellectual who knows all the language of feminist theory and uses it to justify being viciously sexist and racist bc this world is sooo big big big and full of scary (poor) people who’d probably rape me and horrible (not girl’s girls !!) bitches who want to be raped and im just an innocent little girl (she is 25) trying to make something beautiful (she maims animals). unfortunately youll never guess precisely which group got extremely into bunny as a straightforward ‘yuck boys !!’ ‘feminine rage’ book

[arinewneanias03]

The mind-blowing thing about Bunny by Mona awad is that Samantha's character,even though she is the protagonist and our first person narrator is blurry and less characterised Than the bunnies ,or even her friend Ava

She is like a ghost in her own story

[jennifersbod]

the only way to describe bunny is the secret history meets rocky horror picture show meets heathers meets fight club and i’m not even joking

[funnnybunny]
