Author Sophie Lewis is arguing that the family ought to be abolished because it's somehow a terrible way to enshrine love and care. Lost in the equation is the question "Didn't we try this before in the Soviet Union?", and the answer to that is "Yes, and it led to widespread poverty, economic and moral stagnation, and the world's highest abortion rate to this day."
Apparently being a "feminist" means that you don't need to learn lessons from when your ideas are actually put into practice, under the notion that "well we must not have had the right people running things." It's pretty amazing, given all the state run childcares in the old Soviet Union, China, and the rest of the Warsaw Pact, as well as many of those in the U.S. run along the same lines, that they've never, ever found the right people to run things.
So I guess the family is indeed the worst way to assure love and care, well, at least except for all the others.
