@chaosprime Well, the premise is interesting: how does intimacy change if you're not sharing the chores of life. -
@chaosprime The assumptions of deep privilege written through-out the article, though, ruin any possible benefit of the article -
@rocza Yeah, the belief that it's Womanly Love that inhibits criticism of the family power structure is particularly fucking precious. -
@rocza Your point makes me think of this graphic novel that things keep reminding me of, A God Somewhere. http://www.amazon.com/A-God-Somewhere-New-Edition/dp/1401232469 … -
@chaosprime Huh. That sounds interesting -
@rocza It really is. A difficult read on a lot of levels, but one of the most philosophically fertile things in the medium. -
@rocza I think the idea that what we call "mental health" is strictly the product of mortal terror and material need has real legs on it.
