Laurie Penny seems like the kind of girl I'd put a lot of effort into tolerating because I figure she'd be crazy dominant in the sack and make me do weird stuff like lick her butt in semi-public places, but then I finally get to the sex and she's submissive and fairly vanilla

>Annie loved fancy coffee, so as soon as he had started earning a decent wage, he bought her that machine for their anniversary. It was silver and sleek and twice the size of the microwave, and Annie adored it. But it wasn’t quite good enough. She kept tinkering with it. An attachment to heat the cream an extra three degrees. A valve to cool down the grinder as it worked so the beans would not singe.

I think it's rather a shame that she poses for sexy pictures on Instagram. I also think it's a shame that so many of the horny idiots on /lit/ lap it up.

She wants to be known for her ideas, but she betrays herself. /lit/ wants to disagree with her ideas, but it betrays itself. It's a vicious cycle of semen and shit.

Feckless, limp-wristed, post hoc sassiness that no one will ever read.

Couldn't think of anything on the spot, so had to store her spite up in her cooter until she could get home and REALLY give the first website that would publish he-- I mean, Starkey, a piece of her mind (that he'll never read)

Poor Laurie.

Laurie invents a hypothetical spouse whose sole reason for existence is to be chastised by her. Simon has no agency, no purpose in life; he blinks into existence to establish the simple fact that "Annie" is his superior. We are introduced to a man who is shown to be nothing but a circle of failures, who is written specifically to be a circle of failures in order that Laurie's avatar can correct him for his failures. Laurie has not written a flawed character who she loves in spite of his foibles, she has written a character who is incomptent for the sole reason that his incompetence creates an artificial appearance of authority and competence in Laurie's character by proxy. She does not actually do anything intelligent or competent, but by henpecking and correcting everything he does is demonstrated to be smarter and more competent than him--her self-worth is based on his failure, not her accomplishments. Laurie doesn't know how a coffee maker works, but by creating a mythical "improved" coffee maker she has created a fantasy world whose rules are known only to her. She doesn't have to explain how it works, because no one else will ever know how to use something that exists only in her mind as well as she can, and as long as her fictional spouse is entirely dependent on her to interpret her own delusions she can sleep easy knowing that he is entirely dependent on her for recognition of self-worth.

I suppose the baby is the "real" story here, but it's nothing more than a thinly-veiled metaphor for Laurie's own self loathing of her vagina and her Freudian terror of being used as an incubator of a man's sperm. Creating a vessel to satisfy her maternal instincts that doesn't involve allowing the evil phallus inside her womb has no real significance other than advertising her own insecurities. Her "husband" has been rendered impotent and obsolete, the child is no longer his. She ALLOWS him to help raise HER child, and he satisfies HER when SHE wants sex. Just as baby has been reduced to a mechanical Tamagotchi to satisfy Laurie's eternal instincts, male has been reduced to dildo and dating simulator. "Annie," the engineer, (never mind that Laurie is a liberal arts major) can turn off anything around her at will. The child, being not alive, has been pre-aborted, and because the man has no genetic similarity to it no longer has any right to tell Annie how to raise it or whether to kill it when she gets bored of it and decides to distract herself from her own self-loathing and boredom some other way. The goal is not to create a meaningful relationship, but to pacify her own ego and insecurities.

>“I can’t believe,” he said, dipping his lips to her left breast, “I can’t believe you turned off the baby.”

Just wait, Simon, she'll turn you off too when you cease to entertain her.
