Didion’s aesthetic observations are parts of a theoretical whole and to detach them from that context even to admire them is to make a fetish of them. (Call this the pinterestification of Joan Didion, after the popular photo sharing website favored by women 18 through 40 with an interest in fashion and design.) Didion may have been in this demographic when she wrote them, but Slouching Toward Bethlehem and The White Album are first and foremost the writings of a conservative political theorist.

USA: YOU USELESS PIECE OF SHIT. YOU'RE GOING TO AMOUNT TO NOTHING YOU FUCKING SCUMBAG. YOU'RE THE REASON WHY MY TAXES ARE SO HIGH.

Student: I attended a four year university and received a diploma in a field I am interested in. Now I am $50,000+ in debt.

I work all day and I think of you
I dream all night and you’re there too
I’ll wipe you ass and do your dishes too

Hope you are kidding, but if not…. Isn’t “All men are pigs” antithetical to the feminist base logic of judging individuals upon their own merits, not as part of a generalized whole?
Individuals?…
