I plan to get this book. Has anybody heard much about it? Amazon only has one review.
I know that Aristotle was an intelligent fellow.... I guess.... but I'm so glad I learned, before today, that he was a misogynist ass who made a terrible influence on society.
I'm sure there are more things to be said than that on the subject of Aristotle/ misogyny/ patriarchy but all I can say at the moment is "misogynist ass". #themarveloushairygirls
@unmoldednicole: most of ancient greek society was misogynistic. wives and daughters were relegated to the domestic parts of the house and not allowed to enter the parts where the men entertained themselves with philosophical debate and hookers. unless you were a spartan woman, in which case you had more economic and social freedom than the spartan men, but you still couldn't vote on anything. so yeah...the lineage from ancient Greece to modern Ed Hardy D-Bag is quite clear.
@Elmo: Oh my God so do I. Like the writer of the article, I am also a pale skinned dark haired lady and I can't even get into what a pain in the ass it has been. I think, "when will I be able to afford getting the hair on my chin lasered off?" when I would much rather be thinking "when can I afford a trip to Europe?".
None of that even comes close to the reality what these girls faced as they lived during that time, with that condition. I can't wait to read it. #themarveloushairygirls
@unmoldednicole: No no, I'm with you. Year 8 art class, a self-portrait by Frida Kahlo comes up. Class queen shrieks, it looks like you! (and yes, she did use the word "it" to refer to Ms Kahlo). Cue awesome schooling from the teacher, but the mo started getting bleached that night. Whenever I see pictures of Frida I wish I had her guts. No one told her she looked like a dude because of some hair on her top lip. #themarveloushairygirls

That was a lot of "uns". I just really love her art. #themarveloushairygirls
