temperance-adjacent, maybe. old maid spinster Boston shit

People got mad at me when I said that “half the feminist movement since its inception” was based in sexual repression, calling that a ridiculous exaggeration. And it was my mistake for not making it clear that I was talking about the temperance movement–which was almost completely coterminous with the feminist movement for the first century or so of the latter’s existence, and was certainly the numerically-largest and most politically-influential any wave of feminism has ever been in American history.

Relatedly, there are three things I am very frustrated with about the modern internet. 


First, if you google an… unusual combination of words, such as ‘hypergolic use gundam’ (suppose you wondered whether Amuro and Char ever had to deal with nitrogen tetroxide and monomethylhydrazine), you’ll get mostly results that are missing one of the words. I often find myself putting words in quotes to make sure they appear – also there’s a tendency for Google to replace words with synonyms that are not. 


Second, searches for information about anything that’s a common article of commerce with consumerist marketing (clothes, consumer electronics, common tools, appliances, computers, DIY-tier 3D printers, firearms, jewelry, consumer gadgets, etc) tend to be totally polluted with commercial “review” sites, people who are trying to sell you something, and “educational” sites written by the marketing departments of vendors that are full of bad and slanted information and… just not the kind of information you find on independent message boards and the like


Third, Google is surprisingly bad at finding articles which contained specific unusual words together but you can’t remember exactly all of them.
