Note to Johann Hari

She lives hundreds of miles into the countryside, thousands of miles above sea-level

I don\’t think so Sonny, I really don\’t think so.

Thousands of feet possibly, thousands of metres even but not miles.

One thousand miles above sea level is near the upper bound of low earth orbit….

As to the rest of it, well, difficult to read that and claim that a) it\’s capitalism that causes gender oppression and that b) things are bad here.

Could be better no doubt, but they\’re not bad.

Capitalism causes gender oppression? Must be why women fare so well in undeveloped economies!
