Um, no.

The most unrealistic part is the 16 year olds (and teachers) all unabashedly breast feeding and no one makes fun of anyone else’s boobs or talks shit about them later. I’ve been in high school locker rooms. I imagine lactation rooms would be infinately worse at this age.

I imagine it would be an across the board high school utopia where you only have 2.5hrs of homework a night. And frankly, I would be more concerned with the apparent teen pregnancy epidemic occurring in this fictional high school, then the adults in this think-piece seem to be. Is it an abstinence based sex-education…

I know this isn’t the point of this piece, but I feel like a feminist utopia would provide proper sex ed and birth control to prevent teen pregnancies altogether...

But definitely use some form of BC, cuz the worst object in your uterus is an unplanned baby!

I was supposed to get an IUD inserted this past Friday. It was Skyla, the super small Mirena-but-better. After two unsuccessful attempts at insertion, my gynecologist informed me that she wouldn’t be able to get the IUD in there without it puncuturing through the back of my uterus. Turns out I have a tilted uterus…

My favorite single from her album, 1589, is definitely Welcome to New Yorick. Shake it Out, Damned Spot takes a close second.

Except that The Hunger Games already exists with a male lead, under the title of Every Other Action Movie Ever Made: Parts XXI-DCLXVI.

Isn’t forcing someone to have a child they don’t want a lot more like slavery?

Whether I agree with her opinions or not, I think asking older women—especially one of Greer’s background— to sit down and let the young’uns take over is a bit much, too.
Let her talk and defend her views, or let her talk and change her views. If we just tell her to sit down and shut up, old lady with outdated views,…

Ten percent of an entire country banding together in one place, in one day, to change for the better. In some ways, that makes it hard to believe it was only 40 years ago.

The biggest asshole I have ever encountered in real life was a greasy, disgusting 40+ year old man shopping with his walker using elderly mother who as they walked to their car was screaming at her to hurry up and called her a “Fucking cunt of a mother”. After he crammed the shopping bags in to the trunk, he slammed…

no one is saying it is a terrible concept. what myself and other people are saying is that the need to be taken care is not soley a gender based idea, it is a human need. also the concept isn’t just one thing it has many facets, we all want to be taken care in certain ways and amounts. when you sugguest it is only…

Please don’t speak for me.

“Most women want to be taken care of. That’s because that is the best move they can make”

Speak for yourself. Don’t act like this patriarchal bullshit is okay because “all women” want the same thing, as if we’re not individual humans with individual opinions and desires.

I’m a woman, born a woman, and I don’t want to be taken care of - I want to be an equal partner. I want to be a badass who takes responsibility for myself, can get shit done, and does it. I don’t need to be coddled or told what should be important in my life (i.e. virginity).

You need to stop making generalization about all women based on your own personal desires and your perception of gender norms.

“most women want to be taken care of”. wtf is that 1950s bullshit?! everyone wants to be taken care of and it is not soley a need that only women desire. “best move they can make”..jeez i think you need to rethink some things about gender roles and not impart your opinions on women as a whole.

Also I didn’t say he was fucking his daughter, that’s not why it’s creepy. It’s creepy for a parent to be that vested in their child’s sex life. It’s one thing to want them to have a loving partner and a happy healthy relationship but it is a whole nother thing to want and celebrate proof that that partner is the only…

How much of this is him being concerned vs. him being concerned at possible harm to his own reputation for raising an “unpure” daughter? My dad was plenty concerned about me and it resulted in him tutoring me and helping me with my homework so that I could get into a good college and get a good job and provide for…
