7. The Coalition
8. The kyriarchy
9. Tories
10. Lib Dems

*I have a slight aversion to the number three and its multiples, and therefore will be skipping 27 (3^3) and doing 28 twice.
Happy BIrthday!
My present to you is the knowledge that ‘the patriarchy’ does not exist so you are saved at least three of those things to do off your list.
If you want to discover how it doesn’t exist (which would be much quicker than smashing it believe me) I recommend you read Foucault. All of him. And also Judith Butler and I am afraid, Mark Simpson.
I am also available for questions.
Happy Birthday again!
Is there any chance that prawn crackers also don’t exist? Or Theresa May? That would make me very happy indeed 😀
‘fraid not. I have eaten prawn crackers and there have been many sightings of Theresa May with other evidence of her existence. e.g. the fact she exists.
But enjoy the hopeless quest anyway! Life is kind of like that.
