I saw this the other day and thought someone needs to write about this, brilliant post and I adore your writing. I love that you brought up Plath because it does really portray that this seems to be such a pervasive trend where nobody ever really learns anything about the way we look at things within a binary. I wonder who/what will be next to be placed firmly into a category because it’s so much easier than looking at things critically
