      While the criticism of it is sometimes sexist in nature, a lot of new-age shit, astrology included, has some really obvious and disturbing reactionary implications/parallels. I'm not saying every person who likes the stuff is reactionary, but there's obvious reactionary currents to it and you can see it really often in the wild.

      I don't go on screeds about astrology or any shit like that, but if anyone I meet ever thinks they can categorize me based on the time of year I was born, it's honestly offensive and sus.

      Isn’t…

      Men=science/rationality

      Women=magic/spirituality

      …thing itself sort of a reductive binary. Women are capable of rational and scientific thinking and men can be into woo shit. I know plenty of women who roll their eyes at astrology.
