Gender plays a huge role in how one experiences the single life. Women are often deeply enculturated towards "having a man" and are judged accordingly. Doubly so for choosing to be childfree.
Women are often seen as "individualistic" or selfish for choosing alternatives to romantic partners, whereas men often get much less criticism regardless of their social arrangement
While this is fair and true there is a distinction between validating independence and advocating for an individualist secession from human society.
Not a word I said is advocating for anything
No need to strawman
Damn that was some fast and apt analysis. I dont even know why so many negative comments are under this post. This woman is a marxist leninist who has a great educational podcast. A lot of folks should listen to her and start to implement her teachings.
My most negative experience on the grad is this pattern starting to become visible that instead of implementing good work, people rather fatalize and individualize. Like no, thats not what lenin said. We dont indovidualize and we dont fatalize. We need to get our act together as marxists and we need to let go of infighting.
If a marxist prefers to be alone because their materialist conditions are harsh, we dont get to criticize or get triggered. Saying someone is individualist because they are happy alone is western chauvinism par excellence. Eveyone should be properly ashamed imho.
I wasn't referring to you or anyone in particular.
