Where will you draw a line?
Where will you draw the line? I know I’m going to sound like a prude, but fuck it. I’m not. (And evidence for that claim falls into the ‘too much information’ category.) So, I’m going to ask: If men want you to wear shoes with high heels and it becomes fashionable to publicly sexualize yourself …

An addendum to Ghodsee’s Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism
Apparently many men fear that socialism will encourage parasites—people who won’t work because, due to socialism, everything they need will be paid for anyway. Hm. I suspect they’re thinking of people like themselves. Men would rather be unemployed than accept a job that’s beneath them. That is, jobs they consider fit only for immigrants or …

COVID deaths – compared to …
It’s hard to get upset about 5 million people dying per year from COVID when more than twice that, 13 million, die each year die from air and water pollution. And over 120 million have died of global warming as of 2000 according to WHO. (Can’t find stats for since then.) Not seeing daily coverage …

On being wanted.
Also while reading James Morrow’s The Wine of Violence… ” … a world finally wanted his ideas.” (p119) That stopped me. Because even academia, not just the world at large, had never wanted my ideas. Simply because they come from a female-embodied person. Maybe that’s why ‘love’ is so much more important to women than …
