I'm waiting for someone to legislate that it is now illegal to be female.
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Allyson,
If I could only be certain that you'd be waiting in vain.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I doubt they'll legislate it illegal to be female, but certainly "illegal to be an unlisenced female not under the control, authority, and responsibility of a (white, Christian) male" would be their wet dream.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Who is the Bush/Clinton clan? I am so confused...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Beverly, I'm pretty sure that's the track they're heading down.

Do you guys think these are the death throes of a class of people who see the world moving on without them? all of this legislation seems especially weird, to me. Desperate.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That's how it's been feeling to me for a while, but I'm almost afraid to hope/say it out loud in mixed company.

That's Jonathan Chait's theory--he had a long piece in NYMag about it the other day. That the white Christian male head of household is a shrinking minority, losing both his social and economic dominance over the country, and these last few years have been a desperate attempt to hold back the tide of urban multi-ethnic progressivism.
