in my literary analysis shit one of the films we had to watch and analyze was called Ladybird. the protagonist is a 17 year old girl from California and it’s all about how she’s quirky and different and has to navigate high school social dynamics while being an outcast who’s from the wrong side of the tracks who doesn’t fit in and tries to make people like her
here’s the thing. her life and experiences are IDENTICAL to that of a stereotypical popular girl. she spends the whole movie hanging out with friends, going to parties, drinking, dating, having sex, you name it. the only things that make her “different” are totally arbitrary superficial shit that doesn’t really mean anything, like the fact that she has dyed hair and hates her mom and jokes about her period. there’s not actually any meaningful difference between her life and a typical popular teenage girl’s
there were a lot of other things I disliked about it as a film but mainly what pisses me off is how all of this just doesn’t register to the normie audience here. they will sincerely perceive this character as some kind of outcast who doesn’t fit in. and yet to me, this is the exact kind of person who ostracized and excluded ME for my entire life. all I see is the type of person who abused me for my whole life appropriating my trauma and experiences because it makes for a cool personal narrative.
I now understand that all of this is probably the exact experience of every woman who claims she was bullied or ostracized in high school and that’s who they’re trying to make money off of here. that realization definitely fuels my hatred of women and makes me more misogynistic for sure
