Really enjoyed this not just because you’re a great writer but because it’s how I feel about it too. My world has expanded, my knowledge increased and man oh man the friends I’ve made that have moved offline too. I’m glad of those sticky little fingerprints…most of the time.

Although I have to say, the current ‘I’m not a feminist’ Insta trend is sadly lacking in educated opinions about feminism IMO

OHMYGOD I haven't seen that - I mean, I'm fond of saying there's a bit of the internet for everyone but that is infuriating!

I’ve been surprised how many smart and connected women are waving that flag. It’s being positioned as anti-men, among other total BS

wow - it's like the greatest hits of the 90s-00s. Crop tops, wide jeans and second-wave feminism. A heady cocktail. To be fair though, I don't think some of these tropes ever fully went away, and once we start watching/ reading stuff about it on social media the algorithms don't understand that we're watching because we're HORRIFIED and shows us more and the noise just gets louder.
