The fallacy is this: I checked the stats for child abuse deaths, and 5 kids die from abuse daily. But the stats don't define who was doing the abusing or what the children's household situations were. Now, some of these kids will have been from no parents at all, some from single parent families, and some will be in…

We can only *wish*.

I started trying to read Victorian porn (free, yay!) on my e-reader the other day. Media aside, the Victorians were.... weird. All three books I got started with stuff that made me vaguely nauseous, as in, boys being sexually abused by their families (Aunt in one instance, governesses in another) at a very young age.…

People miss this concept, that "race play" means every possible combination of the human imagination in both dominant and submissive positions. :)

The phrase where she says this is what feminism was fighting for, the chance to have a choice with our eyes open: I have a crush on her for this. The fact that she's brave enough to do this? Love.

Not worst than Battlefield Earth. If that one doesn't make it, the interwebs is broken.

If that's a vagina it needs an OB-GYN, STAT.

Seconded. :(

Best of luck! Thank you so much for your articles over the years!

Absolutely. :)

There's a logical fallacy in my argument because I was angry while writing it, but if someone in his office spots it and points it out, it means they actually read it. So, yay!

She should try and be sexier. Because he's probably gay because she's let herself go and doesn't want him anymore. It's really her fult, in the end. She should definitely try harder.

No, this sort of thing takes time. When GWBush Jr was in office he began giving special political privileges to extreme right-wing religious nutbats. With Obama in office they're loosing their power, and it's making them flip their lids.

Google him and look on his webpage. It took me a minute, tops, to find his official e-mail address.

Sent an e-mail to his office. Probably won't get read. Probably won't get anything but filed in the trash. But here's the text, in case you're interested:

"Mama, Jack is twitching on the floor again... What's wrong with him?"

Magic vampire eyeshadow.

I think it has to do with familiarity. There's recreational, in which a healthy respect for what you're handling is absolutely fundamental; that seems to be what Chip's describing. Then there's professional, in which "healthy respect" has been replaced with "it's a part of my body and I feel weird when it's not…

I have no problems handling rifles; I feel perfectly comfortable with them. Handguns are a different story, since I don't have as much experience and they're a lot smaller; it's a little more difficult to know exactly where they're aiming.
