Clickbaiting the Stellas

"Which is what Nicole Flint and the Advertiser seemed to be trying to do with the article, 'Stella Prize sends a message that women are incapable of competing intellectually with men', because at no time is that heading backed up with anything resembling facts or an attempt at thoughtful dialogue."

Reading No More #2

I think I'm going to stop reading the Besant book, All Sorts and Conditions of Men. I've given it a fair try: 170 pages. But it's not all that well written and the plot is transparent and somewhat patronising, if not to the reader then to the people on the receiving end of Miss Messenger's Great Experiment to improve their lives by making them discontented. She knows best; they are merely to receive her bounty.

And nobody knows who she is!

Eh.

So it goes into the croc box and will eventually find its way to the Mind shop.
