I’ll give you three guesses for the context of this quote.

1. Nope, it’s not Tucker Max trying to express classy interests.
2. Good try, but it is in fact not a creepy old man on the Home Shopping Network.
3. What’s that you say? A New York Times special section on children’s books? You got it! Such a logical guess, as this is a totally appropriate use of space in a literally four-sentence review of a book connecting bicycles with women’s rights. Thank you so much Patriarchy - I’m not sure what I would do if I could read about a book intended for fifth-grade girls without being reminded how diverting lady-ogling can be! If it weren’t for you reminding me that women on bicycles serve to be attractive, I might have to actually think about the impressive and inspirational actions of the women profiled in the book!

(Disturbing review notwithstanding, WHEELS OF CHANGE: How Women Rode the Bicycle to Freedom (With a Few Flat Tires Along the Way) does look like an awesome read.)
