Ginny is doing her book report "Lydia Bennett is described in the book as 'untamed, unabashed, wild, noisy, and fearless. My free read project is Internalized Sexism: Why We Don't Like Lydia Bennet. The unsung feminist of the book is Lydia. She's more an agent of free will than even Elizabeth because she bucks sockets rules and acts of her own agency. So, why do we judge her so harshly?"

"Because she's a slut" This annoying wannabe says in the back

"Yes, Brian. Tell us more about the views of feminism you've formed while jerking off to Gal Gadot."

"I do that" I whisper in Max's ear and she smirks at me

"Same" She whispers

He just looks embarrassed "But you can't deny Lydia's actions were rash and ill-advised," Hunter says with a smile and I glare at him

"Stop shaming her," Ginny says starting at him, and Hunter's smile drops

"Stop... Shaming Lydia Bennet?" Hunter says confused

"Ok! Ginny's convinced me Lydia Bennet is hundo a feminist" Max exclaimed and I chuckle at her

Hunter turns to her "She almost took her whole family down. It was immature" I sign knowing this is pretty much about the photo she sent him

"Women get a million different messages on how they're supposed to be. It's confusing"

"Ok, you need to calm down. You're being aggressive" Mr. Gitten says

I walk over and hug her and she just holds me "Ginny and Grace Miller, please come to the office" the PA announces

"Really, Mom? Taking me to the gyno? Putting me on the pill? Did you need to do that in the middle of a school day" Ginny exclaimed

"Yeah and taking me to the Andrologists," I tell her

"Sure did. You have a boyfriend you're sending topless photos to. You have a girlfriend, who I know you're having sex with, I'm telling Ellen your situation and seeing if she will also put Max on the pill" She says looking at me at the end and getting out of the car

"Mom. Oh my God" We say at the same time

"Which tells me two things. One, you make stupid decisions when it comes to men or women, and two, you're gonna have sex soon or not be safe having it"

"Don't I get to decide if I go on birth control?" Ginny says

"Sure don't. Now we have to wait for Graces results" Mom says

"You are such a bad feminist," Ginny says and that's when I decide to go into the house

Ginny's POV

"Sophia Sanchez... is so hot. I think she has a crush on Grace because she has been texting me asking a bunch of questions about her" Max says walking around with me as I work

"That's usually how it is guys and girls devolve crushes on her," I tell her

"I know she is so hot. I love everything about her. Like how good she is with Austin, how nice she is to you, how good she is in bed" I stop her right there

"I don't care if you talk about my sister but please don't tell me about her sex life," I tell her pouring coffee in someone's cup

"Max, you know you're not supposed to be back there," Joes tells her and she ignores him

"How are you and Hunter," Max asks me

"He still hasn't said anything about the picture. It's weird. I don't think I'm good at this whole sexy thing. That's Georgia's and Grace's expertise, not mine."
