Transactional Morality and the ‘Friendzone’
becoming-wave:

andrewfm:
Some spurned bachelors have tried to legitimize their frustration through appeals to a kind of market logic, an investment of affect and care in a woman. By rejecting their advances, these women are running roughshod over the feelings these men had invested in the potential romantic or sexual relationship, or so the argument goes. Commenters have...

Ms Perry discontinued her breakfast.

Memory and the anti-politics of Anzac →
Anzac Day celebrates forgetting.
Its revival, the transformation of a ceremony nearly extinct in the 1980s into today’s turbocharged festival, coincides with the excision from national consciousness of the most important aspects of the Great War.

The Gallipoli pilgrimage provides the obvious example. The attendees at the dawn service do not ask themselves why Australians died invading a...

I hate the preponderance of love triangles in YA fiction, just like everyone else does
mainly because they’re so unnecessary! every love story is already a love triangle, where the choice is between “mr/ms/citizen right (?) ” and “the single life”

probably my most unpopular opinion is that I just don’t care whether men learn to cry or whatever. like, at all. not even if I like them, really. I used to but I’ve burnt out completely. when I say this it really horrifies people. but I see the injunction to care about whether men learn to get in touch with their emotions as just another extension of some emotional caretaker girl...
