Since I’d have to overcome a really strong ugh field to read it again, I’d like to check on whether my memory of it is correct—the one thing I didn’t like about it was Mohanraj saying (implying?) that if you behave decently you won’t be attacked. She was making promises about people who aren’t as rational as she is.
Why an ugh field? Those essays came out when racefail was going on, and came with the added info that it took Mohanraj two and a half weeks to write them, and (at least as I read it) I should feel really guilty that a woman of color had to do the work. I just couldn’t deal. I’m pretty sure the guilt trip wasn’t from Mohanraj.
I read them later, and thought they were good except for the caveat mentioned above.
I’m glad you liked it.
