Your comment would be a lot more effective if it didn't suggest that women's rights activists only care about landing jobs at Google and are "absolutely corrupt". The sentences linking identical twins to "twisted and toxic" are also weird.
There are some kernels of insight there, but this is not a remotely accurate characterization of any of the women's rights activists I have ever met, and it largely comes across to me as paternalistic victim-blaming.
20-something feminist activists have limited power and influence, and are not responsible for toxic workplace culture in industries dominated by middle-aged men.
- JPKab 6y agoI’m a twin. How you read that as me calling twins twisted and toxic is rather confusing to me. It was obvious that I was referring to the system that forces these delays in reproduction.
- jacobolus 6y agoIt comes across as «I am a twin and it's horrible that other kids are forced to be twins.» And «I had my kid at age 23, and it is 'twisted and toxic' that other parents delay having children until their mid 30s. They should do what I did.» Neither of which is likely to be your intention, which is why I would recommend rephrasing.
