>getting a second hand book for school and the previous owner was a stupid 10th grader 'nerdy' girl who always wants to be 'smart' and its all shit notes and highlighted for no reason

I swear all my highschool books were like this

>tfw you realize women are basically in the position of being the talentless worthless younger brother in a family with a son who is a living god-king of the universe
>tfw the older brother constantly dotes on the younger brother and gives him pep talks and takes him out to baseball games and stuff, but the younger brother is permanently fucked and will forever be an embarrassment
>tfw all the philosophical anthropology that humanity has ever written or will ever write is implicitly about men
>tfw any conceptualisation of "the human condition" is implicitly rooted in the "baseline human," which is man
>tfw when some great brilliant ubermensch sends probing arcs of his mental lightning out into the world-soul to better understand himself, his nature, and his place in the cosmic order, the most irreducible a priori cornerstone of his inquiry is "man with a wang, curious about Being"
>tfw women are excluded from even the rudimentary voyages of philosophy, tittied tag-alongs that no one wanted
>tfw women existing alongside men on Earth is effectively the same situation as if SETI found a race of vaguely anthropoid aliens, seemingly capable of communication and civilisation, and we sent spaceships to meet up with them for tang and interstellar diplomacy, and it turned out they are exactly like us in many ways except they're all short stupid retards who can't do anything right, and then we formed a joint society and cohabitated with them playing second retard fiddle for eternity, like the Federation adopting the Pakleds
>tfw you had a 50/50 shot at being born a fucking Pakled with a fat ass who has to bleed toxic goo from his cunt every month
