But...but... what if I prefer dinosaur erotica to dragons? It's like eating an orange when you want a clementine. Close enough to rub in the difference.
... nope. my brain went to all the wrong places after reading that. someone pass the brain bleach
I was in college in DC during Snowmageddon and my roommates and I got bored and started trolling the CL personals for LOLs. To this day we still laugh about the "plow me like a DC driveway" one.
"I really appreciate physical appearance" —- you don't say! Wow! Someone looking for random sex on Craigslist "appreciates" the body of the complete stranger he wants to have a one-night stand with?

There's DRAGON porn?!
I'm all kinds of sex positive. On this, imma go ahead and say "no". Just "no". Kthxbai.

I think the idea is that "wouldn't it be romantic if he was afraid to commit to everyone, but then when faced with the idea of losing you he finally breaks his phobia because he loves you so much?"

The exception fantasy is one of my favorites— best exemplified by Mr. Big from SATC. This is a man who broke up with you 3x, married someone else, cheated on her, ruined your relationships, left you at the altar... and then he's the perfect guy? Most likely, if he goes to France and doesn't ask you, he doesn't love…
Nope. Sorry. I read to escape reality. Not experience the imaginary pain of someone imaginary.
"A movie about a weak, vulnerable woman can be feminist if it shows a real person that we can empathize with."
Oh, yes — that great feminist Nat Port. That great, Polanski-supporting feminist Nat Port. http://feministguidetohollywood.blogspot.com/2009/10/natali…
uh doy. ass-kicking violent women are a necessary stepping stone, but a truly feminist story is devoid of both hyper-feminine tropes AND macho bullshit, where people are just people, and equals, and flawed equally.
