The thing that most bothers me is she conflates her alcohol addiction with sexism.
I know that as a male, I'm generally asked if I want to have a drink if everybody else is having one, and they don't look askance at me if I don't.
Trying to bring gender into this thing is pathetic.
- cuckcuckspruce 10y agoIt appears the author cannot accept that her alcoholism (or "ethanol dependency" as she likely called it) could be solely her fault. She's trying to lay some of the blame for her personal inability to consume alcohol safely and in moderation at the feet of society - society made her do it. That's the thing about being a special snowflake, you have to be unique and perfect or you're just another wet lump.
