This article--really powerful. Well worth the read. ...what’s really challenging about Davis is that she is a public single woman with friends. And [this is] dangerous to the status quo, which is dedicated to policies that undermine efforts of women to act together and challenge systems intent on depriving them of their autonomy... What’s the benefit of telling children than powerful women can’t work together (despite the obvious untruth of this), that women don’t help one another (when they clearly do) and that they are destined to be dependent and peripheral (when they are so clearly struggling not to be)? The clearest and simplest explanation is that it perpetuates institutionalized male domination of families, politics, media and the economy.
