i wonder if the pick me/anti pick me discourse is really masking the mutual unintelligibility of women descended from abduction victims/brides who went far to join the groom’s family vs those descended from women who stayed close to their natal kin group until death

inspired by this tweet. i don’t think it’s correct that such core programming applies to all women. there used to be etiquette books that said “be prepared to drop your entire social circle if you marry up and don’t feel bad if someone drops you when they do”https://twitter.com/CovfefeAnon/status/1438706460788248576 …

Covfefe Anon @CovfefeAnonReplying to @BadgerCozy @nicechudRemember this graph and know that women have as part of their core programming "men come and go but the women you're dealing with now you'll be dealing with for the rest of your life". You think she'll make an enemy of a woman for you? Why do you believe that? pic.twitter.com/xWKZVhApsY1 reply 0 retweets 3 likesShow this thread
Marrying up and into a new female social circle is an interesting case - still fits the overall model though. The women accepting the new wife of a man who is friends with their husbands / fathers have plenty of historical antecedents - as do the women entering.
