These all sound greeeeat.
I love YA books year round, but particularly as summer reading. The ones I would most recommend right now are:
Looking for a fun read? I just self-published a trashy novel! A really big deal to me — I’ve been working on it for years in stolen half hours when I’m not taking care of my kids or working to support my family (single mom). It’s a dark romance (that means like 50 Shades — but, in my opinion, better written) set in a…
haha, good! It’s working!
There are already places on Earth where women are scarce, but they are not more powerful for that. Not in the least. They get trafficked all the more, treated like commodity all the more. And any chance at political and economic power is gone.
But...why would they? The only reason dudes learned to pee sitting down is because women demand it. Without women, life would be a non-stop frat party in a national forest, amirite?
I follow an instagram account where women, anonymously, vent about their boyfriends/husbands. There a SO MANY absolutely helpless, useless, clueless men out there!
I’m pretty sure that the phrase “light of my life” has been around much longer than Lolita...
When my parents would say that shit to me if they saw a bra strap or scoop neck top, I’d always say, “Nuns get raped. Explain that.”
I dunno...I think that the knowledge that humanity will go extinct soon would cause enormous upheaval in society.
What? Lolita isn’t the origin of the phrase “light of my life.” It’s an idiom that’s been around since at least the time of Euripides. It’s a perfectly normal thing for a dad to say about his daughter. Hell, that’s even Merriam-Webster’s example of the its use: “His daughter is the light of his life.”
Yeah but, like, have you ever tried to fold a fitted sheet?
I’m curious enough about the worldbuilding to wonder how she’s the ONLY girl left alive. If the plague skipped children, what happened to all the other girl babies and children? Are we supposed to believe they were ALL raped to death?
I already know what it’s like to live in a world where only men are in control and they would rather live in the woods than do basic housekeeping. It’s called the reality of the last several hundred years.
What if The Road but girl?
It’s the Casey Affleck show. This movie is basically “see how much I care about women? I care about women SO MUCH. SEE. I made this movie to SHOW HOW MUCH I CARE. I CARE SO MUCH and I’ve cared BEFORE #MeToo and this movie PROVES HOW MUCH I CARE.”
OK since this dystopia where women are scarce looks like a bunch of BS, I would like to take this opportunity to tell people about a great dystopia where women are scarce: The Book of the Unnamed Midwife.
My guess is, this movie will only be about 15 mins. long,as the men will simply die off due to sitting around and watching porn all day.
I just want to say you don’t even have to develop young for old men to be creepy. I was an extremely late bloomer and my 7th grade math teacher was a perv to the early developed friend but also to us not yet developed students. Same in high school, also a math teacher. I think men are just creeps and use boobs or…
