I understand that this is heavily fictionalized, but I know absolutely nothing about 17th century Peru and I feel like this book would have been more interesting with a more solid grounding in history, at least with the setting.

special thanks to my therapist, who let me borrow her copy.
I was on board with this book until I got to the '~feminine energy~ of your mother' part. that felt weird. yes, parents absolutely have a large effect on your future relationships, but what the hell? I know I have nonstandard views about gender, but I think most people would agree with my opinion that there is no such thing as 'feminine/masculine energies' and how parenting affects them. parents do have some effect on gender expression but?? what. I think 'feminine/masculine energies' falls under pseudoscience.
the genetics part was cool. I found that quite interesting.

I was originally going to write something here about my desire to be an anthropologist and my competing desire to respect other people's cultures, but that ending...I can't stop thinking about it
