I’m a fan of the movie Kin-dza-dza it doesn’t make it acceptable for me to walk around saying ‘Ku’ to strangers.
People reading it 60 years later and finding it sexist I think are projecting a bit of their own insecurities. Considering the book, the current dominant religious institutions on the planet, the scriptures behind those beliefs and institutions, and what’s been going on in America over the past 4 years as far as women’s rights.
I'm projecting insecurities because I think interactions like that are sexist?
You cannot separate the book and person reading the book. Its ok to disagree, its ok to have different views.
My comment was on people who are regularly referencing the book by using the word "grok". When you do that, you are intentionally associating yourself with the book and implying other people should read the book if they don't want to feel left out.
so its fine anytime because regular means nothing
