The 'endless repetition' of heterosexuality
Plus: Melania Trump allegedly cares about abortion, an age-gap breakup, the politics of labiaplasty, a *craft analysis* of that 'All Fours' tampon scene, and so much more.
Happy Sunday, folks. Welcome to this week’s link roundup.
Melania Trump is allegedly in favor of abortion rights.
says, “I don’t really care, do you?” (Also, go buy Valenti’s new book.)Kristin Cavallari broke up with her 24-year-old boyfriend. “He needs to experience life,” she says. A good time to re-read my piece on moms in age-gap relationships, perhaps.
writes of that tampon scene in All Fours: “Davey gives her back an experience of herself, of her body, and makes it weird, foreign, monstrous maybe but also mythic, maybe even a little heroic.”Fascinated by some of the assumptions here about how to effectively speak to cis men about abortion access (i.e. beer, bros, and “don’t mess with my family” messaging). Then again, I’m happy to see an example of men talking about abortion, period. Also: whatever it takes.
