Just wanted to tell you that I really enjoy this piece every week. Surprised you do not have more comments, but it is still very well done. Thanks for all the work.

Thanks! I think a lot of folks comment on the stuff I link to rather than the roundup itself but of course we welcome discussion here

Lippincott’s thread is interesting. It doesn’t change my opinion about Mace who’s still an opportunistic moron, but the father-daughter dynamic is interesting.

I feel like I see this in with real-life girlbosses. They aren’t exactly feminists, but they definitely have something to prove. And it’s never going to be enough. I’ve rarely seen a happy girlboss. They’re frazzled, cynical, and often burn out.

It amazes me how mysterious the role of a father is, both for girls and boys. It’s easy to see how kids need their mom, but we’re always looking for substitutes for dads because what they contribute is less visible. But it’s real all the same.

I have worked under a number of women like this and while they are often very good at what they do, they often seem like they're at the end of their rope.

She looks like she’s been drawn by Milt Caniff.

Fortissax piece is one of the best political pieces I've read in a long time. 👑 Turns out Canadians are capable of much more than just sipping Tim Hortons while saying, "Eh?"
