reading that absolutely wild feminization essay because I'm incapable of protecting my own peace, and this is not the most important thing, but I'm losing it at the notion that women simply do not have the capacity to be relentless, open, and authoritative haters

I had to make a foray into fashion writing because I could not stop thinking about the fashion diapers all the celebs are wearing!!! www.theatlantic.com/family/2025/...
