Book!
In March 2017, my first book, "The Perils of 'Privilege'", was published by St. Martin's Press.
For a taste of what it's about, try the "YPIS" tag here.

Eh, The Feminine Mystique, The Female Eunuch - aren't all those old books about fems the same thing anyway?
Yeah, and Elle magazine, that's also the same thing, right?
Well, the NYT isn't exactly lengendary for always having its facts straight, now is it? [ironic grin]
Times online now has "The Female Eunuch," which is correct.
They must read WWPD.
Who doesn't?
