NO, I MEAN THEY REALLY LOSE: Women’s workforce participation has plummeted. Here’s how to reverse the trend.
That’s one of more patronizing pieces of tripe it has been my misfortune to read. Who are they to determine in which way women should be happy or fulfilled? Go fish. Take Brandon with you.

OPEN THREAD: Feel the pain, feel the joy.
The old decentralized blogosphere had the advantage that it had no single points of failure, and was virtually impossible to censor. A cynic might suggest that that’s why the powers that be rolled out social media to displace it. But the real problem of the Establishment Media, as with the rest of the Establishment, is that people don’t trust them because they’re not just liars, they’re bad liars, and they’re not just bad liars but people who can’t help — in fact who glory in — displaying contempt for their audiences.
WELL, IF THE FBI HAD PROVED ITSELF TRUSTWORTHY, AND HADN’T ENGAGED ON A DOCUMENTED CONSPIRACY AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP, MAYBE THOSE “CONSPIRACY THEORIES” WOULDN’T FLOURISH: A Jan. 6 suspect died. Now the FBI has to prep for conspiracies.
See, once you get caught lying and cheating, and then lying about the lying and cheating, people don’t trust you.

HEATHER HAVRILESKY HAS A NEW NOVEL OUT, and Ann Althouse invokes Erma Bombeck. The NYT reviewer didn’t like it much, which isn’t necessarily bad, but I was reminded of this Havrilesky quote from 20 years ago, during the early days of InstaPundit and the Blogosphere: “In the language of wedding porn, there’s an unspoken expectation that a man will squeeze comfortably into a preset role: handsome, sweet, neutered wage earner. He works hard so you don’t have to.”
I miss those early days of the blogosphere. I remember meeting Heather Havrilesky at a party at Eugene Volokh’s where an all-star crowd ranging from Mickey Kaus to Alex Pournelle provided glittering conversation. There were even lefty bloggers like Tony Pierce there and everyone got along so well because we were all just excited about this new thing we were all doing. Those days are long gone now, of course.

In our sharply divided culture, books are often received primarily as political gestures, signaling affinity with a particular group or attitude and reviewed accordingly. Under these conditions, reviewers will greet mediocre or incoherent work respectfully, provided it aligns itself with fashion.
Such is the case with Mark McGurl’s Everything and Less: The Novel in the Age of Amazon. Esquire recently published an extended interview with McGurl that praised his “lucid and well-argued prose.” The Los Angeles Review of Books referred to his “intellectual fireworks” and “comic bravura.” This praise can only plausibly apply to McGurl’s reputation and professional status as the Albert Guérard Professor of Literature at Stanford and author of The Program Era, winner of the Truman Capote Award for Literary Criticism. It cannot refer to the text of Everything and Less, a lazy, self-satisfied, and infuriating book, the publication of which is unintentionally revealing of the status games that dominate American literary culture.
I mean, ouch.
SOME GERRYMANDERS MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS: Liberty Unyielding’s Hans Bader expects the Democratic majority on the North Carolina Supreme Court to toss out the redistricting plan adopted by the Republican-led state legislature, then impose either the plan favored by Democrats or create one on its own.

WHY ASSUME THIS IS BAD? Women’s workforce participation has plummeted. Here’s how to reverse the trend. This story makes women out to be victims, but reading between the lines it seems just as likely that a lot of them are deciding they don’t want to be in the workforce.

TIM BLAIR: Imagine No Olympics. In a rare moment of generosity, China made it that much easier to boycott its Genocide Games by playing the worst song ever recorded.
On the other hand, it’s awfully subversive of whoever suggested “Imagine” be played at the CCP Olympics, considering that near the end of his tragically short life, Lennon (allegedly) supported the man who brought down another evil empire: Working class hero? John Lennon ‘was closet conservative and fan of Reagan.’ “But by the time he died, John Lennon was a closet conservative embarrassed by his radical past, according to his former personal assistant. Fred Seaman claims that the former Beatle was a fan of Ronald Reagan, who went on to become America’s Republican president in 1981 and forged a close political alliance with Margaret Thatcher. ‘John, basically, made it very clear that if he were an American he would vote for Reagan because he was really sour on [Democrat] Jimmy Carter,’ he says in a documentary film.”
