A honest discussion about the danger of letting men in women lead spaces, and how perforative men do more than being a viral nuisance.

the Desktop Vanity is the place where we talk about power and pop culture through the lens of the beauty industry & internet culture. With the goal to recenter all women in discussions on how we are represented in media, and advertising. All to help create and critique for a feminine Internet, so we can-not just navigate but thrive in this cyberspace.

TLDR:

* Performative readers change the way people write books

* Authors are writing for the algorithm not audiences

* How women or feminine presenting MC are becoming annoying

* How tropes become redundant

* & why selfish writing makes good as F books.
