Insightful read for those with limited knowledge on gender, sex and feminism or with an honours degree in the subject.
Contos knows her shit and has done her research, she even name checks one of my fave feminist scholars Raewyn Connell!
Thanks for making the world a safer place 5👏

None of the essays are better or more compelling than the one she wrote on Calloway in the Cut.
What a shame that the most interesting thing about her is her fractured friendship to Calloway 10+ years prior.
- why was she disinvited to Elaine’s wedding?
- why is she no longer on speaking terms with her group of close friends from her early 20s?
