There's so much more, of course. I'm just sitting here smh at the way people are defending Tizon. Do you defend Jefferson, too?

Haven't even approached how gendered this is. For example, Eudocia Tomas Pulido's captor, Alex Tizon, demanded to know her sexual history.

Tons to unpack. I counted on people to get all this stuff yet here we are w you still trying to defend Tizon, third-generation slaveholder.
-
Like you just love The Handmaid's Tale, right?, but fail to see Eudocia Tomas Pulido as a human being worthy of her own narrative.

Aura - thank you for this. I usually read critically, but ignored many of the things that jarred, because of the "pretty words" as you say.

Thank you for letting me know. I'm happy you took the time to reach out to me

In India too with extreme class AND caste hierarchy, there's an entrenched system of slavery that the majority feel no guilt about. /1

These folks are so desperate to vindicate him

and it's sick. He was a young man when left home, and knew full well. Folks keep saying he was a child.

He did not "wait until after his death to publish it." He died while it was being prepared for publishing. Very different.
