    It was distracting because you made it distracting. Actual discussion I had with a friend after watching it:

    “That’s the guy who got shot on the toilet!” :)

    Here is me when I first started getting into feminism. (Hot New Year’s Eve look right?)

    Im a flaming feminist (so I’m a frigid bitch that *must* hate men) and I’m fat (so obviously no men want me, right?) but I’ve caught so much dick that’s so much better than any sad wee MRA could offer. My refusal to fuck them makes me this Feminazi Cuntadactyl that must be stopped.

    There you go.
