The Dawn of New, and Frankly More Relaxed, Era
I’ve been writing about feminism, but I keep writing ‘partiarchy’ instead of ‘patriarchy.’ Therefore, I am now proposing ‘partiarchy’ as a new political structure, where whoever throws the best party rules. Like, totally rules.
This political system is the best because: a) it encourages heavy drinking and b) it’s obvious that John Howard will lose government immediately - he might be ousted by someone with a lampshade on their head, but I’m prepared to say that’s a better option.
In short, we know that democracy doesn’t work. Let’s find some cool people, put on Pavement and The Stone Roses, maybe have a toke, and see if we can’t sort this whole mess out.
UPDATE:
Speaking of patriarchy, this was Gmail’s “Funny Quote of the Day”:
Simone de Beauvoir - “To catch a husband is an art; to hold him is a job.”
You know what? I really don’t think she meant it as a joke.

Things I haven’t done:
#173 - Wear a lampshade on my head.
But I’m young. There’s still time.

Sounds like a great idea to me.

I dare you to somehow include the word clitocracy in your essay!

Not a chance. It would stand out like the proverbial :)
