It’s also narcissistic as fuck. “I have interests, desires, a personality and like to wear certain things. These things make me unique. I’ll admit that everyone is a unique individual. But I am unique in a unique way, in that my uniqueness is unique. It is more differently unique, and their uniqueness is more samely unique. My uniqueness is a special kind of uniqueness, whereas their uniqueness is just your ordinary run-of-the-mill uniqueness.”

I mean, I don’t want to wax nostalgic about the good old days, but it seems like right when we were beginning to realize that it was absolutely fine for a girl/woman to wear a baggy t-shirt and jeans and read comic books, all of a sudden it’s more woke to say she’s not a woman, she’s actually something that has transcended womanhood altogether. Sometimes I wonder how many of these kids - and so many of them are kids - want to be “special” and “different”, because I know I did at that age, and then when they find out they’re not the first person to be repulsed by the idea of spending hours styling their hair in the morning when they could be reading about Russian history, they co-opt this label to make up for it.
