Yo, I'd do the same thing as the Bird of Paradise. It looks like so much fun.

I remember reading an author with some rather troubling issues with female character depiction in his fantasy novels. His response to criticism was basically this to a T - "Oh, I'm not sexist! Why, I think women are the superior sex!" Ugh, especially since he was also into pop neuroscience and fond of claiming his…
It's his (asinine) way of relating to the Youths, I imagine. It's him being like:

I just think it should be illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to have a cell phone. Or a cell phone with any capabilities beyond calling and text-only messaging, at least.
I will do whatever it takes to curl her toes creatively, spiritually, intellectually and sexually.
"I have an educational blog" has to be a close second to "I sell monogrammed thermoses," right?
Hehehe, so did I!....
Good. I had a friend interview for a corporate events job with C. Wonder and the people she interviewed with were incredibly rude and shitty.
