tbh I'm not sure how I became exactly what she's talking about. Maybe there's some truth to gender essentialism and I'm just programmed to be a macho guy, but I just had progressive views.

What's more likely than that is somewhere along the line, I realized that being masculine in a progressive setting made me unique and attractive to women, so I began spouting woke talking points. At some time, I must have begun unironically believing at least a few of them. Whoever I was before this, I no longer remember. The crashing tsunami of kitty has twisted me into a hollow shell, and there is no real self for me to find anymore.

No they absolutely can admit it, they think they're main characters or something
