I’ve just finished reading yet another MacKinnon book, Women’s Lives, Men’s Laws, and as usual, it’s absolutely brilliant. The book is well worth a complete read; I paste below some perfect gems.
(My used copy is marked DISCARD by the Porter County Library system. In itself, telling. Sigh.)
Reading this now. It’s heavy-going, but well …

So I’m down at the …

Why is a pout sexy? Children pout. So if a pout is sexy, that means that men are …

“By 2050 at the latest, and ideally before 2040, we must have stopped emitting more greenhouse gases [typically caused by the burning of fossil fuels] into the atmosphere than Earth can naturally absorb through its ecosystems (a balance known as net-zero emissions or carbon neutrality). In order to get to this scientifically established goal, our …

That sex is binary makes sexism so easy. What if sex existed on a spectrum?
But, you may reply, it doesn’t. Contrary to so many transactivists, sex is a matter of biology, and you are either male or female; barring the exceptional, one has either XY chromosomes or XX chromosomes.
True, but saying that sex …
