Recommendation Requestfeminist utopias?
I was just reading a post about Woman on the Edge of Time, and it occurred to me to ask here for recommendations for feminist utopian novels - I'm in a utopian book club and we may be running out of ideas (also three of the last four books had trans characters, trans authors or trans protagonists; I declined to read the latter two, and would probably have declined the other one as well if I'd been aware there was a TIM character). I think I've asked this before, but there seems to have been an influx of new Ovarites since then so I thought it might be worth asking again. We did read The Fifth Sacred Thing a while back, on my recommendation, but I think only one other person in the book club (the only other woman, as it turns out) actually read it - the excuse was that it's out of print and hard to get hold of, so fair enough I guess.
It sounds like he has AGP. I think he's giving you a little crumb of truth. I'm sure these men's shorts are pretty cool and breezy. I mean men really are the people who should be wearing the short shorts, since they're always complaining about being too hot!
I mean i understand why short shorts may be more comfy and stuff but you don't need to freaking change your whole identity just to wear them. Thats just giving into sexist expectations on "gendered" clothing.
Yeah, I think he's lying. However, this does remind me of real HR complaints at a tech company I worked for from guys who were angry that women could wear short skirts to work but the poor men weren't allowed to wear shorts. Let them wear skirts or shorts to work in my opinion. Women aren't ruling men's fashion. They won't like the way they have to sit, though.
Tbh the HR complaints were done rightfully so. I think its silly that people still assume some clothes belong to a certain sex while others of the opposite cannot wear it
I've never found short shorts comfy. Sitting on a public bench with your actual ass cheeks on the bench is unpleasant to me. Men's shorts are very comfy to me.
I have bought mostly men's shorts for decades now for this very reason.
