It's For Your Own Good, Dear

Shorter Caitlin Flanagan: "Women are much worse off now¹ than they were in the Victorian era²."


¹'Now' meaning the reality of the present-day.
²'Victorian era' meaning some sepia-tone fantasy of the 19th century in which reality is indistinguishable from the ideology used to rationalize oppression.
