I read 5 pages of a kids book to Klara and in those 5 pages I found:
- A girl who has two “moms” whose sexual preference is transmitted genetically;
- The idea that a boy who offers an unwanted friendship to a girl is exercising force (that’s the word that was used. Force). That the boy had no way of knowing the girl didn’t want to be friends is unimportant;
- The idea that the only way for a boy not to be accused of exercising force against girls is for him to read their non-verbal clues;
- The idea that boys need to be superhumanly sensitive to girls’ moods while the girls need to show no sensitivity to boys’ feelings.
A few minutes in, and I’m already pissed off in the extreme.

That sounds painful. Does she have to read these particular books (for school, for example) or is she is simply interested in them?

The books are great. Even I like them. Funny, with a great vocabulary. But… ideology has to be injected into everything.

Are you going to keep us in suspense? Or will you reveal the series title?
