I am bored and grossed out by this post.
ReplyDeleteImplicit in the 'Self Defence' section seems to be the assumption that women want to be raped.
I guess you thought that you are satiring old middle class women who could be seen as anything but these things. This fails through a non-attempt to find an authentic female voice and the effect is menacing. Not frivolous or funny. Heavy and threatening.
This is a real shame and not consistent with the usually high quality work from the resident writers.
Did you read the stimulus? Surely that would contextualise that section and make it clear that is absolutely not what the author meant.
