No labor, no housework, no sex: Reaching female supremacy in three strikes.

Mar 21 2015
Did you do anything for women – or did you do nothing? Did you contribute to the apocalyptic, defeatist attitude that ‘the world is finished anyway so why don’t we just watch TV and drive our stupid cars around,’ or did you do something about it?

Writer Lucy Ellmann is done with men’s bullshit. Their violence, their greed, their pizzas – she calls for a series of strikes to defeat patriarchy, overthrow capitalism and establish a socialist, cooperative, pleasant female supremacy.

Lucy wrote the provocative, sharp, footnote-happy Three Strikes! for The Baffler.
