I thought he was famous enough to read his work on stage? I think the arts just don’t pay well and of course, at the time he wasn’t known as one of the greatest American writers of all time. That almost never happens. But I think it’s not entirely accurate to say his work wasn’t appreciated. His life was tragic though, although, the past was generally a rough time.
I don’t agree with her but I can see why she feels the way she does as a woman. I think it’s a lot more nuanced issue than many people want it to be. Like, lots of teenagers feel very uncomfortable in their bodies and it’s not wrong to say you should learn to accept yourself (or at least that should be the first thing people hear), and I mean that for anything, big nose, freckles, etc. People make a lot of mistakes at that age. And I think it’s sexist to not support men wanting to be women because being a woman is a totally valid thing to want to be but I think some people who view being a woman more as being a victim find it off putting, like you scored the lottery being a man so get out of my space. And well, the whole sports thing is not a good look.
I think she feels like she is in the right and so just keeps buckling down and looking crazier and crazier.
