Let me get this straight. Because Rebecca Solnit has met a jerk or two in her day and didn’t put him in his place, we’re all being held down by the patriarchy? And a woman who’s published a 2,000-word whine about nothing other than her ridiculous opinion – in a national newspaper, no less – is claiming solidarity with women who are forbidden by law to vote, drive, or show their faces in public?
How is it possible that such mindless, pathetic drivel is still being published in the 21st century? Frankly, I’m insulted by her assumption that all women are as wimpy as she is, and appalled that she equates her situation with that of women who truly live in subjugation.
