Reply #81: Is that what I was doing?

In my younger, unattached days?

I was "submitting"?

Who on earth comes up with these Bad Romantic Novel Outline ideas?

This is the kind of stuff propagated by guys who can't get laid. They fail to understand that women decide if we want you or not, and if we don't want you, you don't get us. Considering the biological imperative, we have only one egg a month, while you guys have those gazillions of sperm. So we have to be selective.

And we are.

The reluctance of some to deal with the power of women's sexuality, that we are in charge of our sexual decisions, and that it's not, in fact, a "rape culture" is, in this day and age, mind-boggling. That woman at Hofstra seems to have unleashed the Hounds of 1630 in some people who can't quite wrap their heads around the fact that a woman wanted to bang a bunch of guys. Sober, happy, and doing what she wanted to do.

'Rape culture." It's an insult, diminishing the crime of rape, writing it off as a normal part of daily life, when, in fact, it's an horrendous and terrible thing that happens far too often, but not often enough that it's any kind of quotidian event........................
