    Hell I like when I’m struggling to get exactly what media is telling me. I remember reading When Women Were Dragons and spending so much of the book trying to figure out what the dragons were a metaphor for as the book dripped with social commentary before

    Tap for spoiler

    Coming to the conclusion that the dragons weren’t a direct metaphor, just another axis of oppression struggled with in mid century Wisconsin.

    And I love the book for that. It challenged me to think in metaphor and meaning and to analyze history.
