Fine, I’ll ask... For the love of fuck, what’s good with hummus then?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie points out that when men say they’ve done something for peace in their marriage it’s something like not going to strip clubs during week nights, and when women say it they’re usually talking about a job, or a dream, or a career.

He’s a famous, wealthy, cishet white man. He’s the epitome of privilege. When you’re like him, there isn’t anything in the world that you think can’t be improved by you injecting your opinion.

Yeah, I read it as a taunt for not daring to show his face. Like, good, stay the hell home!

Humbly and respectfully, this headline is the wrong take.

Plus Frankenstein is terrible.

How old is it in Victorian dog years?

Ha! I was about to post the exact same thing. Mary Shelley was a very intelligent Victorian 18. The materials that she read that influenced Frankenstein .... 18 year olds now, wouldn’t even be able to find them if they knew what to look for.

(Depending on inflation.)

Generally a myth. For women of Shelley’s generation, average age of marriage was around 26.

LOL

I think there’s also the effect of being married to Shelley, which averages out to about a year of late-middle age ennui per real-time month. But she also apparently invented being goth by age 14 or so. Combine that with the brilliance of Frankenstein, and it’s an amazing achievement.

Yeah but Victorian 18 is, like, present-day 31.

Stay cold, stone bitch. Stay cold.
