“‘It’s silly to turn your back on your allure. Destroying one of the few powers you have is not strategic.’” the quoted person literally says herself that she is not a feminist. ms. thornton, why are you quoting her?

“‘…it’s all undermined by … this surface idea about freedom of choice.’” freedom of choice is…a surface idea? an idea that is not being actively challenged every day? an idea that your fellow feminists are not fighting desperately for? yeah sure whatever you say ms. thornton.

“‘[The Nazis] occupied our country for five years and left one positive thing[.]’” WHAT. okay i get acknowledging the origins of milk banks in norway, but ms. thornton, you did NOT need to include the quote that PRAISES THE NAZIS???

there’s a weird undertone to this book. kind of transphobic, kind of pro-choice, kind of judgy. thornton wants to be a progressive feminist sooo bad, but ultimately she chose to spend an extended period of time researching & interviewing strippers, & she still came away with, “these poor women are victims of the patriarchy & are devaluing themselves!” … girl what.
