The days blend together as you hole up at home for the nth week running. Who knows what the next pandemic update will bring? Who knows when we'll meet another living person? Or how?

Be careful what you wish for. This morning I wished everyone would just disappear so I could get some peace and quiet. Now here I am, bobbing around in an empty ocean trying to remember how long a human being can live without water. Caution: contains swearing, bad singing, self-pity and bodily functions.
In this fascinating exploration of the cultural models of manhood, When Men Are Women examines the unique world of the nomadic Gabra people, a camel-herding society in northern Kenya. Gabra men denigrate women and feminine things, yet regard their most prestigious men as women. As they grow older, all Gabra men become d'abella, or ritual experts, who have feminine identities. Wood's study draws from structuralism, psychoanalytic theory, and anthropology to probe the meaning of opposition and ambivalence in Gabra society. When Men Are Women provides a multifaceted view of gender as a cultural construction independent of sex, but nevertheless fundamentally related to it. By turning men into women, the Gabra confront the dilemmas and ambiguities of social life. Wood demonstrates that the Gabra can provide illuminating insight into our own culture's understanding of gender and its function in society.

Also daytime television.

In this context, organized crimeis analyzed in its economic, political, ethnic, and so...
