Thanks to everybody who joined Monday’s book-club discussion of Feminism Against Progress. Our next read, in late August or early September, will be Hadley Freeman’s Good Girls:
I heard Hadley’s interview on The Unspeakable podcast a few months back, and I’ve been looking forward to reading this ever since!

But body image issues seem to be a particularly "problematic" one for teenagers, girls probably more so than boys. Somewhat apropos of which and ICYMI, a rather insightful review of Elliott Page's autobiography by detransitioner Laura Becker:

I did! So it was definitely interesting to me. Thanks for sending Laura's piece -- I meant to read it but hadn't yet.
