I am certainly not immune to this. I struggle to read theory and find it difficult to understand. ADHD does not help.

I love to read but also struggle to read theory, and then the smug theory obsessed leftists use that as a gotcha.

Leftist theory is extremely dense reading and mostly in language from 100-170 years ago. Of course it’s mostly impenetrable to the public of today.

To be fair, I struggle hard with reading anything not in current language. I can’t do Shakespeare, for example. Have a hard time with poetry too.

I had a brain injury, and then I have ADHD possibly from the brain trauma or possibly prior, and I suspect I’ve had autism all along. Being female is bullshit, growing up in the 90s girls couldn’t have those things so we just ended up having our needs neglected.
