60. READ.LOOK.THINK.
READ: “This is so brave.” | Not girls. Not ladies. Where are all the women? | Nora Ephron’s final act. | I wish I was in Script Club! | The teen-girl Tumblr aesthetic. | “So, I am bringing in what I’ve written on this blog to show my therapist next week, making it, I guess, officially a therapeutic journal.” | Blown away by Look at Me by Jennifer Egan.
LOOK: Dangerous light. | Critical Fierceness. | Raw lemon and coconut truffles. | Banana chocolate banoffee cake (…I hope Jude is inspired to make this). | Some of my holiday photos: Australia is magic + Melbourne + The Brooklyn in Fitzroy + Gertrude Street’s Shave man.
THINK: Anxiety doesn’t make it harder to get pregnant or have a healthy baby. | Spoil, steal or stream: why is TV in Australia so behind the times? | In Australia, “something’s awry when the needy are dismissed as welfare spongers and the well-off crave handouts.” | Teen boys and girls sext in equal numbers, but boys forward more. | Enough feisty princesses: Disney needs an introverted heroine. | “Quest is elemental to the human experience. All road narratives are to some extent built on quest. If you’re a woman, though, this fundamental possibility of quest is denied.”

The article from The Age entitled “Who are the real bludgers?” was disturbingly spot on and put some numbers to something I could see going on in Australia already. I recently had more than a little falling out with some of the locals in my area after saying that this was a moral issue over the flood handouts (“but we need to fix our driveways”).
Oh I absolutely HATED that Vice piece “Where are all the women?”! I’m surprised you liked it, maybe you read it in a different way. What made you like it? I found it so misogynistic yet smugly ‘I just want women to be more like me, then I’ll like them’..
