Get back at red America -- with kinky sex, pretentious French movies and a hasty divorce.
By Rebecca Traister
I quite like the whole article, but here's the abridged list:
1. Have really deviant sex.
2. Get a divorce. No, seriously. Even if you don't need one.
3. Donate a banned book to a public school.
4. Slap down money for exorbitantly priced tickets to the transgressive fare currently getting beaten to a pulp at cineplexes.
5. Give in to the zeitgeist and dumb down.
6. Start writing your novel, or song, or splattering your canvases with paint.
7. Take a walk. Go hiking. Take some pictures of what's left of America's natural landscape. Take several. No one needs to explain why this is important.
8. boycott Wal-Mart
9. Get loaded. Quit drinking? Start again. Quit smoking? Congratu-fucking-lations. Light up. It's going to be a long, strange, ugly four years. Nicotine helps.
10. Exercise your choice now, girls, while the exercising's good.
