I wish this went into more detail about the plot, as I was honestly curious how it would be twisted. Instead it's just the usual "strong empowered slut" and weak male loser "twist," and the cheering on of such subversions.
Hearing Julia recall her various sexual exploits not only makes her human, it gives you the sense she really knows herself — what she wants...She revels in al fresco couplings, some same-sex action and a bit of mild BDSM.
Meanwhile, the Winston of “Julia” has little to recommend him. Everyone in their office calls him “Old Misery Smith.” He can’t even rise to the occasion (innuendo intended)...
Newman hasn’t proved herself a worthy successor to Orwell; she’s outclassed him, both in knowledge of human nature and in character development. “Julia” should be the new required text on those high-school curricula...
Leftists have convinced themselves that their ideas are intrinsic to identities, so opposing those ideas requires you to oppose those identities.
A corollary to this dynamic is that any female or minority protagonist must overcome their challenges by using leftist ideas - like the female protagonist being a slut to own the patriarchy - otherwise the character doesn’t qualify as representative of the identity.
If the gender-swapped 1984 was just 1984 with a female lead, then the book wouldn’t be useful as a vector for disseminating feminist ideology. So the act of gender swapping also necessitates both plot and thematic changes to accommodate the ideology of the female identity.
When you suggest that hiring a female writer might harm the production, the industry crucifies you. Yet they require the production to be radically altered in order to fully represent the “female identity”. You’re basically being gaslit.

Newman is tripleplusgreat.
I came here to post something about her being a slut to "overthrow the patriarchy" and the stupidity of 🤡🌎 made it obsolete before I even posted

Could only be more complete if "she" was a tranny and Ingsoc's slogan was Make Oceania Great Again
Demonstrating once again that critics are envious narcissists with shit for brains and can't write themselves out of a paper bag.
