Then white women who founded the birth control movement somehow made conservative Christian white women look progressive. Sigh.

"Grant me the confidence of a man who can go to the sex club with a spotty arse." My new mantra.

This book got much better but hit too close to home not to give it a break. Talks about unpaid internship and I'm literally going to do 3 months of full time unpaid internship as part of my degree... that's not starting off very smoothly atm because the organisation doesn't even have the decency to get back to me on my free labour... so I'll read it again when I'm more ready lol.

Ok it's getting better in its analysis, and less performative, but still a bit wishy washy in places.

Lady, stoooop conflating all women (especially white) with Black women. It's tokenistic and icky at best.

It's getting better in including race, but still can't help but feel very tokenistic by overly using the works of Black women scholars like Angela Davis and profiting of it through the writing of this book. No real acknowledgement of her privilege and very dumbed down. I'd much just read their original works. Just want her to get on with her own research part and stop waffling on.

Her analysis is very tokenistic towards Black women, using them to push a myopic white women centred, proletarian feminist agenda. Can't wait to get past this pseudo intellect theoretical bullshit analysis and just see some differing lived experiences of work never loving the worker back.

Some tiny good bits, like a poop filled cupcake with delicious sprinkles. Too much bias from a white lady perspective who isn't well versed in the politics of race. Too eurocentred, but in that subtle white leftist way. She quotes a lot from other academics and analyses them with her own voice, which is often more times annoying then helpful. Lots of dumbed down analysis. Easy read though, just hard to tolerate.
