Piper's story is interesting but there has been too much screen time devoted to it.

agreed. ignorant choice of words for someone who regularly writes on the topic of gender equality. also, i'm pretty sure the last time i heard the term "pencil dick" was in 7th grade.

i find it kind of gross that the company hasn't done anything to clear up this misconception (if it is one).

yes, yes... you certainly showed me up. don't forget to mark down this triumph so you can continue to "keep track"!
