If you’re a woman with a uterus who likes to control said uterus, or a person of any gender who supports women’s reproductive rights, you need to never work in/step foot in a Hobby Lobby—an American retail chain that appears to specialize in silk flowers and picture frames—again. That’s because a pack of Christians determined last week that another pack of (particularly wretched) Christians has the right to deny contraception to women. A complete lack of basic scientific wherewithal was exhibited by all, obviously.

Edward Champion Does Not Know What’s Going On In The WorldUnless you enjoy reading overlong, woman-hating articles, you may not have heard that some guy named Edward Champion wrote a long-ass opinion piece bashing so-called “middling millenials.” It is, in essence, a thoroughly misogynistic denial of the importance of women’s writing.The edrants.com blog is a poorly formed, ranting, impossibly hateful epistle no fewer than 11,000 words long. Don’t worry, I read the whole thing so you don’t have to. It took me an entire afternoon to force myself to finish it. I made 100 trips to the fridge, shopped for shoes, did my brows, wrote a bit, and read at least 20 other articles before I could get to the end.The thing is blatant woman-hating vitriol. Champion attacks “largely white women” between the ages of 25 and 33 (with “some of the more pathetic specimens” being closer to 40), accusing them of confusing “the act of literary engagement with coquettish pom-pom flogging.” He repeatedly refers to women’s writing as being trivial, banal, ignorant, or all three—alongside repeated accusations of narcissism. Essentially, Champion says, women shouldn’t write about their lives or write in any way Champion himself doesn’t relish. He goes so far as to define what “real” feminism is (I’m sorry?), and what a “real” writer is.
