The author said she was asked to contribute a short story to a Christmas anthology. Boring, she thought. Then Maud presented herself. 88 year old, never married Swedish woman...serial killer. Charming. Creepy. Hilarious.
Stumbled on it at my local library--apparently it has been translated in quite a few languages, and doesn't look new. But I didn't see a post about it here so I thought I'd recommend it. I laughed out loud.
Trigger warning: domestic violence
Anyone else read it and find it so delightful?
Edit: Author is Helene Tursten
Absolutely not true. Older women have been speaking out about this constantly for decades. Not even trans stuff—they've been speaking up about objectification of women and critiques of porn/rape culture.
The overwhelming response is "OK Boomer", or "shut up you jealous old hag".
Young women are rejecting this advice en masse and then turn around and have the gall to say "why didn't anyone warn me??" Well, they did warn you, but you wrote them off as old and out of touch.
Ageism is a huge problem for the left.
There's a difference between speaking and having access to a megaphone.
