There are few things worse than reading an article consisting almost entirely of obscure references, proper names, and (presumably) complex ideas, linked together by an extremely subjective thought process, and expressed in such an idiosyncratic style that only the author herself is likely able to make sense of it, while to anyone else it resembles the output of a victim of Wernicke's aphasia.
- pj 17y agoFor those curious, as I was: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Receptive_aphasia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Receptive_aphasia (also known as Vernicke's aphasia). Basically, these patients get words mixed up and speak funny sentences like the article. I too thought it was superfluous hipster talk and got bored reading it. The point of the article in my mind was that after women's fighting for the choice to work, now they want to choose not to work.
