Sorry, maybe I’m tired but I’m not getting the shadow puppet allegory. Maybe we thought the shadows were real, like you thought the differences between the sexes were real. Okay, got it. But convinced the puppets making them are real? The puppets are real, right? Unless the metaphor is that both shadows and puppets are not real people and their anthropomorphism is all in your head? So both the battle of the sexes and the woke-ism are both constructs we should recognize as such?
there is a difference between appearance, and reality.
that’s what it’s about.
and yes, battle of the sexes is very much appearance vs reality. people want to believe in the mythology they tell each other about ‘men’ and ‘women’. not the fact that we are mostly the same apart from our sex organs and some hormonal chemistry. there are differences, but they aren’t as titanic as people want to believe.
