#also gotta love the use of like
just saw a man on Goodreads calling Mary Shelley “a privileged rich girl” – and yeah, no fucking shit? are you braindead?
most of the authors who wrote classic pieces were rich, from good families – but for some clouded, mysterious reason I have never seen a man using this as a single reason to dislike old male authors. and of course, there’s nothing of the sort about anyone else on his profile. so this stupid, pathetic, illiterate little man felt terribly compelled to deem a novel which basically FOUNDED science fiction as irrelevant because Mary Shelley – born at the time where women were considered intellectually inferior – received a formal education from her father & mother. die.
