The monster, like Victor, certainly has some conventionally feminine characteristics; this would not have surprised Wollstonecraft, who knew that men could be feminized; in other words, that gender was socially constructed, not biologically predetermined. The feminization of men should not be confused with what William Veeder calls androgyny, a harmonious balance of masculine and feminine. It has more to do with what he calls bifurcation, the polarization of "masculine and feminine traits ... into wilfulness and weakness". At times Victor is effeminate: weak, passive, and emotional. At other times, he (cont. next image)

displays a highly masculine aggression, "penetrat[ing] into the recesses of nature," as his teacher M. Waldman puts it, and usurping the procreative power of the female. In so doing, he aligns himself with the series of solitary male parents in Paradise Lost: with God, who creates the angels, begets the Son, and creates Adam; Satan, who gives birth to Sin; and Adam, who gives birth to Eve. As Darwin would have predicted, Victor's solitary act of procreation produces a being curiously like himself, a monster bifurcated into feminine extremes of shame and emotional dependency and masculine extremes of aggression and violence. The bifurcated monster identifies himself both with Adam and with Eve. His earliest memories, for example, are closely based on Adam's account of his awakening, right down to the warbling of birds. This detailed similarity helps to emphasize the poignant differences between them: unlike the monster, Adam is able to speak, effortlessly, as soon as he wants to and has a creator who watches over him and leads him to his home. The monster identifies most strongly with Adam's loneliness before the creation of Eve (...) The monster's identification with Eve is most obvious in his account of his first sight of himself, reflected in a pool, which closely parallels Eve's account of her awakening. Here Shelley's ironies are particularly complex. Eve falls in love with her own beauty; the monster is repelled by his own ugliness.

Victor also compares himself first to Adam and then to Satan. If he does not compare himself to Eve, he compares himself to Adam at his most feminine.

also give money to Emily Gwen, designer of the lesbian flag, in whatever way you can because she intentionally makes the flag design free-to-use but struggles financially while big corporations slap her work on cheap garbage and make millions

PSA for everyone going to protests

I'm trying to comment on this without being hyperbolic.

As a manager, insisting on deadlines that you and your ICs straight up don't believe are possible almost GUARANTEES that a) their work will be thrown out or completely redone and b) you will put them in danger of burning out.

Jesus. I guess there’s nothing to lose for Israel at this point. They really don’t need to try and maintain any notion of obeying international law or human rights caring about them.
