I'd never heard the song before, and it kind of reminded me of a really fascinating essay about James Dean and butch identity.

There's an Instagram account called sexchange.tbt that posts trans ephemera from the past ~40 years - website screenshots, articles, old zines. Anyway, they posted the music video for "Young James Dean" by Girlyman.
That's because there is no "movement" and the whole thing is a stunt to promote the ideas of the least thoughtful of all the unthoughtful people who nonetheless consider themselves intellectuals.
Oh wait I got this, how about the bit about the oldest child taking care of the younger ones. They get to grow up fast and spend their precious time being an unpaid babysitter instead of actually being a kid pretty much ruining their childhood.
Common practice among quiverfull creeps.
My mum grew up in Ireland in the 60s (one of 8 children) and witnessed some of this at school: little girls from families of 15 or 20, missing classes so they could mind their younger siblings.
like if I tried to end global poverty by becoming really, really rich.
I have some exciting news for you. Have you ever heard of "effective altruism"?
I mean in this article they claim that girlfriend will be able to have seven kids, spaced a year and a half apart, and homeschool them, and still keep her career. They're obviously not too concerned about contradictory statements.
I really really don't get how wearing a corset* while you're pregnant is somehow the most rational option
*Don't come @ me corset fans, I'm sure they are very comfortable, but while you're pregnant? Eight months pregnant?
I had never heard of Girlyman until this morning, and now I've seen two references in one day.
Cathal Coughlan (Microdisney, Fatima Mansions, Telefís). His solo album Black River Falls is beautiful (The Ghost of Limehouse Cut, Black River Falls, Frankfurt Cowboy Yodel)... To say nothing of Microdisney or the Fatima Mansions.
Actually one of the songs on his last album with Telefís was a mockery of TESCREAL beliefs. Space Is Us: "I will live forever in those racks of tin"
Wow, these people have not planned anything at all. They're going to homeschool all 7+ kids? And go into politics, a job that infamously has long, unsociable hours?
They bought this house and the one next door for $575,000; they allow their neighbours to live in the second house rent free, in exchange for childcare.
Seems normal !
She is obviously not a very nice person but he really is a piece of work. Yeah, go on, encourage your wife to risk her health and her life to have kids you aren't even interested in.
