3 | Cockblocked by Redistribution | Katie | Baker | A review of a pick-up artist's guide to Denmark. The guide winds up inadvertently becoming an advertisement for the beneficial effects of Denmark's social safety net for women's equality.

4 | Utopian Families | Johanna | Brenner | The dominant ideology (accepted by much of the left) selects the nuclear family as the primary site for meeting a variety of human needs. Brenner argues that this model is fundamentally hierarchical and oppressive (especially for women) and the the demand for more freedom and autonomy from women, when combined with the withdrawal of the social safety net, has produced a 'crisis in caregiving'. A socialist feminist left must respond to this crisis not by trying to prop up the conventional family, but by imagining and building non-oppressive, democratic communities for meeting basic human needs. | Motherhood/Children, Politics | http://socialistregister.com/index.php/srv/article/view/5738/2633#.WOEcLI61uRs | ||
