If you’re writing a piece like this, you’re naturally going to pick an insult that will land with your audience, right? If you read an article where the author says “that’s training bra thinking,” obviously the author is envisioning women reading the article. If you read an article where the author says “that’s smol pp way of thinking,” obviously the author is envisioning men reading the article. That was all I was saying: I was just reading along and suddenly I was reminded that I’m in an industry where men write articles for men, and any women who happen to show up really aren’t expected to be there.

Again... no?

If you read an article where the author says "that's training bra thinking", the author is female.

If you read one where the author says "that's smol pp thinking", the author is male.

All right then. What a fascinating way of looking at the world.
