I am a hairs breadth from writing a thesis about how patriarchy is a system developed to control women because women have the ability to create life. And men don’t. And that fact drives a lot of men absolutely crazy.

His example of a book is… β€œooo and the pirate…”? What was the last book he read? Treasure Island? I bet he thinks Animal Farm is about a farm.

I've been meaning to repost this for days now...

Anyone in the #writingcommunity interested in #sci-fi? Give this podcast a listen. Thought-provoking and insightful fun!

I freely admit that I'd rather be deboned by an alien on a weirdo planet than be made to write in iambic pentameter.

πŸ‘‰ Which should raise the question - how many more women will die on that mountain before they convict him of murder..? 4? 6?

This is why sites where women reveal problematic behaviour about men are vital. Because legal systems protect the perpetrators.

I’ve just seen a post where eating fruit and vegetables was referred to as β€œfibre-maxing”…
