ngl, I'm beginning to take issue with how in conversations about anti-intellectualism almost automatically, the face of girls and women will be slapped on the problem.
#'all those tiktok girls who only like marvel films and' - why do you always say girls and women? are the guys filling opera halls instead?
#'women in their mid 20s who still only read YA novels' okay sure that's an example and relevant discussions can be had
#but it reminds me of the mocking tone in which people speak of 'chick-lit' to use women's interest as an indicator of lower value
#while in fact women are reading more than men in EVERY single genre of fiction. Women are doing a lot of (often unpaid) labour
#supporting libaries supporting theatres supporting cultural events
#meanwhile there is a pretty big overlap between toxic masculinity and anti-intellectualism
#(especially misogyny and homophobia)
#especially when it comes to things like ballet or opera or musical or generally dance
#in fact it is often the female investment in specific things that makes them less 'valuable' in general consciousness
#for thousands of years the theatre was well-respected and a high form of art - and now it's a 'wife-thing'
#the father who will teach his son that theatre and dance are for girls - how is that never an example for anti-intellectualism
