It’s funny, you said this with aplomb where I took thousands of words, but I agree emphatically that women need stoicism and philosophy in general; it’s not, however, something I literally ever have seen discussed among women friends unless I bring it up. I really lament that philosophy has become part of the manosphere while women are leaning into feminine stereotypes in the performed online vulnerability. I was actually quite skeptical of Brown because so many seemingly basic women were fans, so I thought she is a pop feminist. But of course, I was pleasantly surprised to find that she is a legit researcher. I wonder how you’re approaching sharing these ideas with people in your life, and if you’ve found any success.

I’ll just say that as I read this, I kept thinking this is written from a straight man’s perspective, and yes lots of generalizations.
