A Polemic

Quote of the week (from the book Against Love by: Laura Kipnis aka Genius):


"And so far it's worked out (knock on wood), no huge disasters (notwithstanding the occasional tense moment, a recrimination here and there), because after all, you're fundamentally a decent person, honest in your fashion, and you don't mean to hurt anyone, and of course you love your partner, or at least can't imagine life apart (or the disruptions and anguish and social ignominy such a breach would entail), but you need--well, what you need isn't entirely the point, and certainly not a discussion you intend to have with yourself (maybe after the kids are in college should there by kids, if not just postponed to some indefinite point in the future) because why open that can of worms, since once opened those worms clearly aren't going to just crawl willingly back into their can and the last thing you want is a big wormy mess on your hands," (9).


Woah lady.
Woah.
