mckitterick: sweaterkittensahoy: kaylapocalypse: thighetician: The second girl at least read the book to confirm that it was shit, she even had Capote on deck as backup. Chick 1 is just lazy Nope. Girl 2 saw that Girl 1′s absolutely accurate analysis was being shut down just because it wasn’t stated in an intellectual way (in spite of its validity). So Girl 2 reinforced Girl 1′s opinions in solidarity and made sure that it was absolutely clear that Girl 1 was factually correct. WITHOUT taking credit for her observations (”kim is right” instead of “Actually, kim”) Girls supporting Girls. Girls not letting other girls be treated poorly. If you read thirty pages of a book and hate it, that’s a good analysis. Girl 1 literally said, “It sucked for these reasons, and I only got through 30 pages.” She was absolutely paying attention and trying to get it. But if all you get is a headache, fuck that book. I love this exchange There is a difference between1) “I hate this book because I thinks it’s stupid therefore it’s bad.” and2) “This book is bad because [reasons A, B, C, which shows that I did research trying to figure out why this book sucks so much]. Also I hate it.”and that difference is called “being informed”. -- source link
