Fresh Hot Takes on Gender Part II

Back by popular demand…

After the smashing success of Fresh Hot Takes on Gender Part I, we have received quite a few compliments, but also a number of reader complaints, which demanded to know when Current Affairs became a radical feminist publication. In the interest of satisfying some readers’ hunger for Subjects To Become Angry About, here are even more Fresh Hot Takes on Gender for you to consume. If these infuriate you, we recommend a soothing solution of hot oat milk, sriracha, and dealing with it.
