Saturday Link Love: Trumpism, Uncontrolled Men, and Real Housewives

Saturday Link Love is a feature where I collect and post links to various articles I’ve come upon over the past week. Feel free to share any interesting articles you’ve come along as well! The more the merrier.

Trumpism: It’s Coming from the Suburbs, on The Nation—“Always and everywhere, this sort of petit bourgeois constitutes the core of fascism.”

I Don’t Accommodate Uncontrolled Men, on Ezer—“My husband … doesn’t experience this “all men’s daily battle” regarding women’s clothing choices, because he wasn’t socialized to.”

I Don’t Know How To Explain To You That You Should Care About Other People, on HuffPost—“Personally, I’m happy to pay an extra 4.3 percent for my fast food burger if it means the person making it for me can afford to feed their own family.”

The Real Housewives of Gilead, on Advocate—“These women want a future where not only is abortion illegal under all circumstances, so are all forms of birth control for women, other than the rhythm method.”

Cultural Appropriation Is, In Fact, Indefensible, on Code Switch—“Those who defend it either don’t understand what it is, misrepresent it to muddy the conversation, or ignore its complexity — discarding any nuances and making it easy to dismiss both appropriation and those who object to it.”

What Kind of Feminism Is This? History News Network—“Laura Kipnis’s Unwanted Advances contains an interesting, but deeply flawed, critique of campus feminism wrapped in an argumentative strategy so outrageously offensive as to mortally wound the entire project.”
