Birthmarks on newborn babies used to be called "longing-marks" and were believed to take on the shape of something desired by the mother. Pouring a drink and wishing I'd asked the mom who marked me with desire what on earth she'd been desiring.

everyone is participating in the "what to do about young men" debate without actually discussing the book that figured out what needs to happen 52 years ago, we need to stop them from continuing to get oedipized over and over again by patriarchal systems
