  • Youre better off asking why women overall are more likely to read.

    I think people above a certain age won’t believe me, but I swear when I was growing up (born in 2001,) being smart and having hobbies associated with smartness was made out to be unmasculine. I don’t even know how that happened, but from a young age we all thought of reading as a women’s hobby. I think there weren’t many male characters in children’s media of that era that were smart and not made out to be uncool, but I might be misremembering.




  • Political ideology: depends greatly on how big a role the internet played in raising Bernie Sanders’ profile. I think it did a lot, so I’d probably be less left but still too left to vote Republican.

    Religion: Without Internet I’m probably a nominal Christian like my mom. As in, identifies as Christian but it doesn’t affect my life like, at all.

    Overall worldview: It’s probably in the same ballpark, but not as developed. I don’t think I’ve ever done a total 180 on my values, but the application of those values has changed a lot.
