“Within the prevailing models of the human mind women were seen as somewhat less evolved than nmen and with a corresponding lack of rational control over their actions—barely protected from the underlying degeneracy by male control,especially over their sexuality...the criminal woman is a monster.”
Late 19th century attitudes “science” about women.
We teach girls to be likable, and not to be a #maneater. I believe, like Adichie says, that this does a disservice to girls and women.

I'm hoping to get to this #ManEater tale once my book club reading is complete!

#OctoberXFiles #ManEater no man-eaters here. I‘m at a yoga/ movement weekend. We are in a good , strong , soft , space ... hallelujah 😍
For some reason #maneater reminds me of Stranger In A Strange Land. Although it was a toss up with The Girl With All The Gifts. #octoberxfiles
#OctoberXFiles Im going literal for this prompt...A real life adventure to New Guinea in 1945 in the final days of World War II. 24 bored soldiers and members of the Women‘s Army Corps embark on an aeronautic joy ride over a newly “discovered” landscape — mountains populated by thousands of combative #ManEater(s). But the joyride turns into an aerial disaster when the plane crashes, killing 19 onboard & leaving 3 survivors in the jungles below
Don't know exactly why, but #Maneater made me think of the first Merry Gentry book.
This pic shows the German edition, which I bought for a friend.

Also #GhostCat and the Indian Summer we're enjoying today. #catsoflitsy
The mysterious creature stalking, & slowly picking off the crew of the SS Erebus & the SS Terror, isn't the only #maneater in Simmons' book.
