challenging reflective slow-paced

2.0

skipped a few pages because i just couldnt deal with this book anymore. ive been attempting to read this for years (got this 8 years ago) and thought id appreciate it more when id aged a little. well, lesson learned. after psychoanalysis number 737373 of yet another relationship pattern with a male figure i gave up.

this book was definitely written with a ā€œone size fits allā€ mentality, and that is cishet women who wanna get married and have children. some parts felt TERF-like and patronizing. like as if somehow you are unworthy/unhealthy when you dont fall into this category of the book.Ā 

i was trying really hard to like this book and turn it into something it was not because i love myths and spiritual archetypes. analyzing is great but not when its repetitive and washing down the original meaning of a myth.Ā 

i would *not* recommend this book to my fellow NB+queer friends.Ā 

and let me also say i feel like its incredibly messed up and disrespectful to repeatedly ā€œuseā€ trauma of deceased women you dont know (janis joplin i.e) to drive home a point. Ā
