Wow! I'm a twin and this is the first article I've read that really puts into words how I feel about it at times. Especially:
" Not coincidentally, twins are at strong risk of being objectified. First, we get reduced to our appearances: what matters most about us is how our bodies hit the senses. Second, we get treated as fungible: interchangeable with our fellow objects. Third, in many cases, our subjectivity is ignored. People don’t deny, exactly, that twins have rich and distinctive inner lives, just as sexists don’t deny, exactly, that hot young women do. But those lives often aren’t what’s interesting about us, and they’re easily glossed over. "
- tlarkworthy 7y agoMy 4 year old daughters have a completely different life experience. They automatically have critical mass at school, and can use this to manipulate the singletons around them. They make people happy, but yeah, they are pointed at a lot too. A lifetime of that means the twins are on a different plane of existence. We singletons can only imagine.
