The Wonder Spot was a popular Wisconsin tourist attraction that was open from 1949 until 2006 before being demolished. It featured a small cabin at the edge of a ravine and was advertised as “a place where the normal rules of gravity do not apply”. Sure enough, if you were to travel to The Wonder Spot, you’d find it impossible to stand up straight. Water ran backwards and in strange, swirling motions and it was possible to balance chairs and tables on two legs. It was very difficult to walk properly, as you would be met with a strange weightless feeling, as if you were walking on the moon. This story is certainly freaky and there aren’t many definite explanations for this strange phenomena. Tour guides merely attributed the lack of gravity to igneous rock formations, which makes it even more fascinating.
de beauvoir told us that the reason women cant see our oppression is because unlike other minority groups, we live lives entirely entwined with our oppressors and it all seems normal.
this is why female only spaces are important. we need to be alone together when we speak so we hear more “yes!! that’s exactly what happened to me too!!!” and less “shut up, that never happens”.
