as humans developed, deaths via predators or being trampled by hippos became less prominent. In order to replace this necessity of the human life, we created the Motor Vehicle
When I was in high school we did an english unit on Octavia Butler and the teacher told us hey btw. You should call her “Butler” in your essays. Sometimes students call female writers by their first names unconsciously, but that’s not acceptable. If you wouldnt call them William or Ernest you shouldn’t call her Octavia.
And I was like cool whatever I was gonna call her Butler anyways. But that moment has stuck with me for my whole life because once you start seeing ppl calling women by their first names where men would be called by their last names you literally never stop seeing it.
