"I like to imagine tumblr is mostly populated by ages 12-20 to spare myself
a lot of headache. Because honestly that's what a lot of it feels like to
me: cliquey high school posturing, and oddly disconnected from the real
world."
That is... exactly how I would've phrased it in the OP if I weren't trying
to restrain myself. I've been relieved more than once to find someone
spouting "feminist" bullshit (that I find appalling as a feminist) to be
all of 23, and I've thought, "You're a baby. You're still in college. Get
out and work for ten years and then come back to me with this crap."
And I really don't care if that sounds ageist in any sense because I'm
not going to have some snot-nosed womens' studies major telling me how
women function in the work place. I'm in it. I'm there. They can kiss my
work boots.
