in which I would like to punch the patriarchy in the face

This is a blog post, ostensibly about Inception, from 2010.

It has some interesting layers.

What gives me pause (not the whole National Service will mean people will be drafted into the army, because that sounds dangerously plausible to me - and I think any service should be voluntary, because otherwise it is, in fact, slavery) is his little line about how Comic Con is the kind of place where "good looking" women can now roam free, sans their protective husbands and boyfriends.

I. I just think. That the world should burn down sometimes.

Just. FUCK YOU, white male privilege, fuck you, that I'm fucking soaking in it, and that I am just as liable to judge a woman for her prettiness or lack of it, thank you very fucking much.

Just: screen wipe: a world without memory and a world where men can't physically bully women or mentally bully everyone else. Just. Fuck.

Otherwise, I find his premise concerning Inception intriguing.

But it makes me ineffably sad to think that even in the world of the film, Arthur is too excellent to exist.

I should like to join you in punching the patriarchy in the face.

I get numb to it after a while, because I feel like I'm soaking in it every day, and I can't just live a life of pure outrage, right? You've gotta fight when you can and ignore it when you can't.
