This week we look at several recent articles that address the declining rates of marriage in China and fertility in South Korea. It’s a choice more women in those countries are making. And the reasons are simple: patriarchy. Women are coming to terms with the tragic vileness of what it means to be a woman in a patriarchal society. Meanwhile, we talk about cultural consumption including A League of their own, and Frida Kahlo's life-experience.
