The Plutocrat - Kahlil Gibran
In my wanderings I once saw upon an island a man-headed, iron-hoofed monster who ate of the earth and drank of the sea incessantly. And for a long while I watched him.
Then I approached him and said, “Have you never enough; is your hunger never satisfied and your thirst never quenched?”
And he answered saying, “Yes, I am satisfied, nay, I am weary of eating and drinking; but I am afraid that tomorrow there will be no more earth to eat and no more sea to drink.”

OH JUST PISS OFF
HOW ABOUT PEOPLE ASSUME FUCKYEAHEXISTENTIALISM IS MALE BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A WORLD THAT TEACHES US THAT WOMEN DON’T THINK
(AND THAT EVERYONE FITS INTO THE GENDER BINARY UGH)
Yeah.
Male being the default gender doesn’t help either. I assumed she was male before she posted anything about herself and I know I’m not the only one.
A good, serious blog like fuckyeahexistentialism should be genderless (and raceless, classless etc), and present the challenge to the reader that anyone could be writing it. It pleases me to find out the author is female.

Philosophy in my experience is the only department in the humanities in which the students are overwhelmingly male.
