The Guardian’s Laurie Penny is unhappy about… something:
As so often in Laurie’s mental landscape, dark forces are at work although the evidence has been lost in a mysterious warehouse fire. We are, however, pointed to the “front pages of celebrity magazines,” on which, obviously, all sane people model their own, actual lives. We’re told that “Successful women on the verge of mental and physical collapse… is a myth that pleases the powerful,” though who the powerful might be is also far from clear. Can she mean the overwhelmingly female readership of Heat magazine?
Damn. They’re on to us.
Okay, everybody: burn all your Patriarchy membership cards, bury your uniforms in the back yard, try not to draw any attention to yourselves.
I’ll swing by and pass out the fake NOW ID cards later today.
Oh, she’s an anorexic/bulimic. I’m taken aback. She always struck me as very emotionally well-balanced.
“the narrow hours of the night”?
This broad needs to be medicated into unconsciousness.
Give me a map, I’ll go run her over with my smart car.
Another bi-polar wonder off her meds.
This is why men are marrying foreign wives. To many of these coddled none individuals crying about every thing wrong in their lives are men or circumstances.They never seem to examine themselves .
Marriage is a job really, not a Cinderella ball. To many Women from the West consider the Government their husband. The patriarchy is a joke. There is no form of life lower than white males except the political class male feminist or gay. Frankly this Women is confused. Look at Kate. An excellent artist,blogger, & successful in breeding dogs.
No whining there. This female has a good job ,but just can’t shut up about how hard life is.She has made her own bed.The contrast is stunning.
Western womankind is collectively imagined as a toddler let loose in a candy store, so overwhelmed by the range of options that it has an ungrateful tantrum and is sick on the floor.
Yes, i have seen planty of evidence of this at the shopping mall.
So she suffered from mental illness before she started writing drivel for The Guardian. I’m glad we have that cleared up.
