The Impossibility of the Female Character
Written by Paavani Lal Das You have met a Dumbledore, or a Donald Trump, or a Dwight Schrute. Not for who they are, but for how they are treated. A man who is deeply and widely respected, or who is widely known for his narcissism and misplaced confidence, or widely mocked and equally tolerated despite… Continue reading The Impossibility of the Female Character
Is reading sexy again?

Humans are notoriously different in our ability to perceive beauty, art, and symbolism. We are also unique in our capabilities to understand morality.
