Is the decadence of religion bad for women?

Some women appear to be getting crazier than average.

I was wondering the other day if the slow disappearance of Christianity from public life has been bad in particular for women. Women were and are always more emotional than men, but, years ago, it seems that they could canalize those excessive emotions into more productive ends, such as taking care of numerous children, artistic pursuits, or the religious life.

But, increasingly, women appear to get more excited about politics, social issues, protests, and increasingly obnoxious behaviour in general.

A case in point was the recently deceased blogger Julie Powell. I mentioned her strange death in a recent video, but I don't want to talk about that here. I want to talk a little bit about her life.

She was married, but she didn't have any children, I don't know if as a personal choice or for some other reason.

Her Twitter seems to have been full of aggressive posts. More than once, she wished for the death of "anti-vaxxers” and white people in general.

White people are fucking horrible. Murdering all of us would be a totally sound decision. I mean, I hope you don’t kill me and mine, but I’d get it.

I really can see the argument for slaughtering white people in the streets. It’s not going to happen, because most people are better than me, but Jesus. I see the temptation. I’m gonna get banned, aren’t i?

@queerBengali I would argue that COVID does kill some of the right people. The anti-vaxxers/maskers are dying in legions. But yes. It’s a real shame about Kavanaugh.

She became famous for writing a blog about cooking, but she didn't seem to be particularly interested in cooking for cooking's sake — more in becoming famous. Julia Child (on whom she inspired herself) reportedly didn't like her blog, which was full of swearing and did not show a real interest in learning about French culinary traditions. Supposedly she wrote another book about her love affairs, that her husband knew about, which was not so well received by the critics — and, I imagine, by her husband, but I doubt his opinion counted in any way.

All in all, she seems a sad representation of the modern Western woman. May she rest in peace.
