The only grind I want is grinding the capitalists into mincemeat

TIL Mario Puzo, the author of the Godfather books who’d also adapted them to film, had no idea what he was doing as he’d never written a screenplay before. After winning two Oscars, he decided to buy a book on screenwriting to learn how. In the first chapter, it said “Study Godfather I” [source, comments]

Damn, this hit me

So I made it to explore how I feel about being boyish for a few days, right? Because I joke that I want to assimilate all the genders

It's been too days and I already feel weird about it

But not in a 'dysphoria way'

Like, imagine if you felt offended by being referred to with the correct pronouns

I don't mind the boyish avatar, but being called typically male-targeted adjectives like "handsome" feels uncomfortable

I'm suspecting I may have a stronger issue with masculinity than I expected

I mean, I wouldn't mind that at all, making a feminine male persona. But the point of this "experiment" was to see how I feel being more traditionally maleish

The answer is "no", having to be masculine in any traditional way is annoying
