I'm so glad you asked! Gayism is transmittable through exactly three ways:

They only care about children that are in the uterus and children that are being raised by The Homos. It's in the fucking Bible. Seriously like get educated.

We managed to wrap up homophobia, latent misogyny, and garden-variety ignorance all up in one big steamin' pile of bullshit.

Oh, honey. You're so misinformed. One, sure, I suppose some women have rape fantasies - and so, I'm sure you'll be stunned to know, do some men - but the rape fantasy is not "so common" among women (your bullshit surveys that you run in your brain and what you think you understand about powerplay do not count).

As a martial artist, I appreciate your enthusiasm and understand what you're saying here, but there's one problem here:

Things that are not okay:

If you are snarking - good for you! I dig this brand of snark! But unfortunately, I'm pretty sure you aren't.

Exactly. If you come up to me and you're physically getting in my space and I don't want you to, the first time, your hand will be politely removed and you'll be told in no uncertain terms to stop. The second time, you may not have a functioning hand.

No. No. No. WRONG. Absolutely ask for permission. If you're so fucking dominant and He-Man and all this comic-book bullshit,

This is just my reading of it, but it seems that one of you (the "nothing is 100% certain in fact, but in principle, we ought to behave as though we will not ever break up") is looking for validation in the relationship - perhaps it is not so generally issue-free to that partner, or perhaps that partner just has this…

Kate, you are a fantastic woman, but there's a major problem with your article.

Odone is totes right. Unless there are bruises - and not just any bruises, facial bruises - everyone has to shut up 'cause Nigella needs to save her mawwiage. Never mind whether Nigella even wants to stay with him! All mawwiages must be saved always! And Saatchi isn't even a real abuser! Everyone knows that perfectly…

That's a beautiful ... satchel (?), Mr. Slayder has great taste! The not-being-a-pack-mule thing must be a major plus.

Right! I have to carry an inhaler and breath mints and various stomach medications because, let's face it, my schedule doesn't allow me to dash back three times a day for my meds. I also tote aspirin at certain prescribed times of the month. Granted, if you don't have those concerns, then that's fine, but if you DO...…

Holy Seinfeld, Batman!

Didn't you run across the "short hair = lesbian" thing at all in the US (or wherever you were pre-UK)? I thought that was a pretty common stereotype.

Full disclosure: I carry more of a tote than a purse. And pants with pockets are great, until you also need to carry around books/notes/something work-or-school related, a laptop (probably with a flash drive), breath mints, perhaps an inhaler and/or assorted medication that cannot be left at home like an Epi-Pen, et…

On my campus it's usual to see dudes with messenger bags for the laptops. Off campus, not so much.

Right, unless you're carrying a laptop or books or medication or all of the above.

By "purses" I meant "bags." ... my "purse" is technically a tote xD Satchels are awesome. Very versatile.
