class privilege meme
I saw some criticism of the class privilege meme that's going around, and was kind of curious about it. I did it, and it is kind of mind-blowing, in a way:
Speaking of mind-blowing, I just watched an episode of Wife Swap. This week's swap was between a feminist mom who home-schooled her kids and a pageant-obsessed mom who talked about making things "sparkle". The pageant-obsessed mom raised a 15 year old girl who cannot spell "America" and cannot read the word "crutch". And they were proud of it! Are you kidding me? If you like train wrecks, this is the show for you.
