Fuck the Grumpy Out: All Fours Chapter 15

The title of this episode was inspired by Portland writer Jenn Lalime. Her comment on Miranda July’s Substack piece spurred many juicy conversations, both in the comment section and in Amy and Tommy’s kitchen!  Here’s the exact quote: “It look me nearly 20 years of marriage before I stopped living in the shadow of male sex entitlement and fucking the grumpy out of my husband.” Whoa. Right? She goes on to talk about how she took the lead to bring her and her husband to their own “breakthrough” ten years ago. So good.Chapter 15 of Miranda July’s All Fours gets us from gym culture to Wile E. Coyote to fucking the grumpy out. Go figure.Read along or just enjoy the ride!
