you can draw a straight line between this PhD reaction & the overturning of Roe V Wade. the Dobbs decision represents+spearheads a backlash against women having lives outside the home, & particularly against women pursuing education. treating her topic as risible is part of this
Ironically there's probably a whole PhD thesis to write about the reaction to this PhD thesis. I know lots of people are generally uncurious dolts who resent people who aren't, but people post their niche theses all the time. Why the reaction this one in particular

Children shouldn’t start classes on an empty stomach; that goes without saying. But since when did it become the role of the state to sort pre-school breakfast for children? Isn’t providing your child with breakfast sort of parenting 1.01? Like brushing their teeth at night? If parents are sending their children to school hungry someone needs to call social services. This is neglect. Children arriving at school hungry, teeth rotting, not toilet trained, not communicating… these things are not the role of the state. There’s a parenting crisis in this country.

Thanks for following the ELG @ChadwellSouth Here's "The Railway Fence" by Walter Steggles from 1929. The Steggles family lived at 94 Heath Road, Chadwell Heath & the painting is a view from their garden towards Whalebone Lane road bridge. #ChadwellHeath #Essex #ELG

Odin, Loki and Hœnir set out one day on a journey. In a valley they saw a herd of oxen, and they took one and set it in an earth oven, but it would not cook. This incident led indirectly to this week's weather.

This cartoon is from 1996, and Kamala still managed to unironically campaign on three of the four panels in 2024.
