“We’re expected to go from boy crazy when we’re little (remember, lesbians don’t exist) to bridezillas as adults. Landing a man is assumed to be our main goal in life, trumping any other desires. And while a little romance never hurt anybody, the idea that women are supposed to be obsessively focused on all things love- and relationship-oriented serves a strategic, anti-feminist purpose. Because if all we’re thinking about is how to get a guy, then maybe we won’t pay such close attention to the ...fact that we’re getting paid less at work or having our reproductive rights stripped away.
Now you’re saying to yourself, See, I knew feminists were just a bunch of anti-male killjoys! Slow your roll. This isn’t a diatribe against all things romantic. Shit, I’m as much a sucker for flowers as the next girl. Everyone likes being in love. Unless, of course, your object of desire is an asshole or doesn’t like you back—but that’s a problem for another book. The issue isn’t love and sex.MoreLess Read More Read Less
