When I was younger, an ‘elective’ was a fun optional class you took. Usually art, or drama, or maybe comparative government and Model UN. Now it’s surgery. Of course it’s always tempting to come back to the most scandalous topic here, and you can count on a slow news day at the science desk resulting in another quick article on labiaplasty.
And more weird medical news: now that we have generations of young men seeking marriage and finding no women their age in China and India, things get more and more bizarre: buying a drugged-up wife from a mental hospital? And demanding a refund when you discover she’s defective? I was thinking that maybe as women became rarer, that it would be a chance for women to assert their importance.
But then again, it’s often the women performing the infanticide anyway. Yet one more reminder that oppression and violence are incredibly corrosive.
