March complaint box

Here are a handful of the ways I made readers mad last month

When I searched for a mailbox in Unsplash, this was one of the first results. I chose this image because I like it, and because I would be thrilled to get chicks in my inbox instead of complaints.

It’s time for everyone’s favorite new Liberating Motherhood tradition—the monthly complaint box! I didn’t get around to writing one in February because I was so busy with the Deconstructing Masculinity series. So I’m compensating you by sending March’s complaint box out early in the month.

The complaints I’m tackling this month include:

• I like Therapy Jeff, and I want to argue with you about him.

• We need men in feminism. You’re wrong that men can’t be feminists.

• I, a man, would like you to know that you are doing feminism incorrectly

• I’m mad at you because of all the men who attack you.

• I believe that spending $8 per month entitles me to dictate how you spend all of your time, and also means you have to share my exact set of values.

• Feminists are mean, and very scary to me, a cis-het man.

• The criminal justice system should be destroyed and replaced with immediate execution

• Women can be abusive, too, and maybe you should write about that.
