Post it memory loss thing

              “——the source material still makes
              me uncomfortable as hell, because
              even if you interpret it in a less
              misogynistic way? At the end of the
              day, it was still written by a man in a
              time period where it was considered
              commonplace for women to be
              complacent and subservient to men.
              And he’s no longer with us to confirm
              or deny what he meant. 10 Things I
              Hate About You is probably my favorite
              adaptation of that story because Kat
              never has to abandon her values to
              love or be loved by Patrick. Not that it’s
              without its flaws, of course.

                                                       Because I cannot stand Kat and Bianca’s
                                                       father and the way that the film perpetuates
                                                       the idea that it is the father’s job to be the
                                                       gate keeper of his daughter’s virginity, and
                                                       that he must ‘save the flighty and lustful girl
                                                       from herself’ or whatever. And I feel like
                                                       someone with Kat’s forward thinking and
                                                       clearly feminist views should probably have
                                                       protested that more. Even if she was
                                                       uninterested in dating—which is perfectly
                                                       fine—it should have bothered her more that
                                                       she and her sister were being robbed of their
                                                       autonomy. And again when these boys
                                                       manipulate her into dating, which she doesn’t
                                                       want to do, just so one of them can date her sister.

           Which brings us to the biggest, most
           fatal flaw in that story: that what made
           her the ‘Shrew’ in the first place was
           the fact that she was a feminist, as if
           women should be scorned and
           considered unlovable because they
           believe strongly in being autonomous,
           free-thinking human beings with rights
           and respect. Gee, it’s almost like the
           world is systematically stacked against
           the success and intelligence of women
           and that Kat is absolutely right to try and
           negate that or something. Whodathunk?” 

My muse has lost their memory and is relying on Sticky Notes strewn around to guide them.

                                                     "——–…what the hell is a Stiles?“

                { She deduces it must be a person,
                  rather than small ladders or sets 
                  of stairs possessing a phone. But
                  what kind of human person calls
                  themselves Stiles? And why
                  should she call said person? He
                  has messy, scrawled handwriting.
                  Is he a serial killer? He could be a
                  serial killer. They say messy,
                  scrawled handwriting is indicative
                  of internal turmoil and thus they are
                  more likely to be violent or unstable.
                  Is this person okay? Why are they
                  called Stiles? She has so many
                  questions. }
