Why isn't it enough to just be pretty any more though?

You know some people aren't pretty or intelligent or brave

Are you implying that the way he feels about some sluts in disguise should be considered as the face of contemporary literature?

>> No.9497590

>>9497024
It's something that one must develop and cultivate. Just being born with a good mind isn't enough - you still have to put time into acquiring knowledge, engaging with complex ideas, and expanding your intellectual horizons. If you don't do that, then regardless of your IQ or whatever, you're not going to be very smart.

>> No.9497595

>>9497024
Rather than raw intelligence she is probably talking about either erudition, creativity or self-awareness, which are all cultivated skills (which are surely aided by high intelligence, but still accessible past a certain treshold that is met by most people).

>> No.9498889

after my paranoiac reading
of popular psychological and feminist literature
my life is defined by a terror of oppression
i hitherto barely perceived.
everything is potentially harmful
a thicket of razor-sharp horror
enshrouding our shrinking pockets of safety
in an ever-less-tolerant world.
micro-agressions are everywhere
and everyone is either an aggressor
or a battered survivor --
whether or not her marks are visible.
