This is a really smart point: that this argument rests on a combination of both misogyny and a populist hostility to class inequality. By asserting that women dominate the managerial class, misogynists can depict women as the oppressors. Something "left" and "right" misogynists would find convincing

I understand that it’s rhetorically useful for these people to feminize management, corporations and the wealthy—to make misogyny and antifeminism seem more plausible as a righteous populism of punching up. But you can’t just state empirical untruths!!

Pretty sure my mother was ADHDZ and father ADD....

So ... I was totally normal and just need to apply myself better.

And then we have—DUN DUN DUNNN—Anomalocaris! Look at this happy little bastard!

BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE! The Chengjiang fossil site has even MORE critters, from what came to be known as the Cambrian Explosion! More squishy! More weird! More everything!

They have NAKED-ASS TRILOBITES that hadn’t evolved their shells yet!

This was also the first place we saw Hallucigenia, a species SO BIZARRE that for a long time, nobody knew which end was up! Great poster by Nix Illustration here:

From sun to meadow
