On this dark day in the US, I’m going to pull out my copy of Woman World by Aminder Dhaliwal and dig into it again. Perhaps only in a world where men (and that horrible monster, the anti-abortion woman) don’t exist can perhaps a level of peace for the bodily rights of women exist.

I’m also reading this review on Slate of Sandra Newman’s new book “The Men” and the history of books dealing with the idea of men suddenly disappearing from the world.
