Oh A. S. Byatt. How's the feud with your sister over that tea set going.

That's my concern as well, especially with rope and gags. Learn how to do those properly.

Same. I'm also a fan of kink and engage with it with my partner, but we're both incredibly clear to discuss things up front with one another, safe words, what is and isn't allowed, etc etc. I know that going through those things might ruin the story (although I would argue this story ruins the story) but COME ON.

I get that a lot of parents might be at their wits end with a child who cannot fully communicate with them (in the language their parents are used to), but holy shit, bleach is not miracle cure-all juice, and what sort of weird twisted science means any sort of enema = mental health cure!

Oh jesus, yeah, I read that too. I also vomited a little from every pore at the thought. How is that a thing and HOW IS THAT NOT CHILD ABUSE AUTHORITIES.

Wow, if what you say is her intention, she really needs to rethink that name. Dirty Girl Ministries makes me think of exactly the opposite.

Reading comprehension fail!

Not to concern troll (and maybe this is concern trolling or maybe I am not entirely clear on the usage) but anyone else vaguely worried about a rash of people getting into BDSM who have not, perhaps a. researched it moreso than this book and b. not realized that so very often, if not all the time, fantasy will always…

Holy crap, that model looks like my ex boyfriend. o_O

Or maybe it's both! No, seriously, it's just one.

To be fair, a good amount of our food already is covered in feces. But grooooossss.

Well now there is just too much sarcasm. Sarcasm. That's a word that gets weird once you say it five times fast.

I had no idea Obama was the CEO of Planned Parenthood. Man, that guy must be busy. Additionally, your argument is well reasoned and well supported with facts from peer-reviewed journals. Once we start giving condoms to kids, we are going to go into DEEEEEBBBBTTTTTTTT.

I was actually wondering if he was going to go with the traditional fairy tale trope too, and was pleasantly surprised that he didn't.

It kind of assumes that we're all wearing nice clothes and makeup BECAUSE we're insecure, not because there is anything empowering in taking charge of our bodies and our looks or anything like that.

His heart might be in the right place (slightly to the left), but his methods are tired and old.

That nit should have held out on that reward until he got the hand of the king's daughter.

... two maids? I am really letting my cats down.

I argue that is the same thing.

Well I clicked through some of her facebook pictures, because sick curiosity. I think the worst are the ones where she infantilizes herself (pigtails, young clothing).
