1326 || tyranny of the ideal woman (part two)

Jia Tolentino said "We have not “optimized” our wages, our childcare system, our political representation; we still hardly even think of parity as realistic in those arenas, let alone anything approaching perfection. We have maximized our capacity as market assets. That’s all. For the way out, I think, we have to follow the cyborg. We have to be willing to be disloyal, to undermine. The cyborg is powerful because she grasps the potential in her own artificiality, because she accepts without question how deeply it is embedded in her."

Today I share the final part to Jia Tolentino's article titled "Athleisure, Barre and Kale: the tyranny of the ideal woman."
