Sculpture of the nymph Galatea and the shepherd Acis at the Medici Fountain, Paris (also known as Polyphème surprenant Galatée dans les bras d'Acis) created by Auguste-Louis-Marie Ottin in 1866

Last week I wrote about how men are pretending to not be as strong as they actually are in the service of feminism, or whatever the Tate brothers are peddling now. This week I want to talk about how women have a secret superpower too.

We may not be the strongest group people on earth, but we are the most desired group of people on earth. And that is a kind of superpower. Now like a lot of superpowers, we must remember Uncle Ben’s words — with great power comes great responsibility. But I will be lying if I said that doing that thing from the third Spiderman movie where he is obnoxious and wearing black and just being oh-so-smug is not a trip too. It’s a bad trip, but in the moment it can feel VERY good.

Embarrassing, but this is how it feels as a teenager to suddenly have boys look at you
