In "Miss Mechanic" by Emma Hart, the protagonist reflects on the complexities of confronting sexism. She recognizes that traditional methods of battling stereotypes may not always be effective, implying that sometimes changing perceptions requires less aggression and more subtlety. Instead of trying to aggressively prove others wrong, she suggests that a confident demeanor, along with a polished appearance, can also serve as a powerful statement against discrimination.

This approach emphasizes the importance of self-presentation and the role of personal confidence in overcoming societal biases. By focusing on looking good and embracing femininity, the protagonist advocates for a strategy that highlights strength through self-acceptance, thus redefining the narrative around womanhood and empowerment.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
