My issue with this article isn't so much that women are dumb whores as it is that this dumb whore who wrote it has the most nightmarish view of gender politics ever created. This in turn suggests why some women in their 30s and 40s are totally unbearable.

And yet however unbearable she is to others, she seems quite able to bear her own troubles--she says all these things about how evil the world is, but between the lines she sounds basically satisfied with her own situation. That's what's annoying to me about the article--it appears that she's not actually trying to be pessimistic, and that all that negativity is just there by accident, because she isn't very good at writing I guess. And it damages the consistency of the article. If she really thinks life is that bad for women then she ought to consider not just the possibilities of settling and spinsterhood, but also the perfectly sensible options (in her horrible world at least) of adultery, and suicide.

Back when I was uh enjoying the company of that yaoi RP group, their nominal leader protested that she was actually a lesbian and only interested in girls. Wouldn't I, she enquired, be interested in being her long-distance lesbian lover? Like some of the other yaoi girls with whom she enjoyed long-distance non-physical lesbian relationships?

No, I stated. I have a pet gentleman and I'm a loyal monogamist as you well know since we've covered similiar ground before.

It's funny how so many so-called lesbians are actually TOTALLY STRAIGHT, she replied acidly.

It's much funnier how so many so-called lesbians never have a real live relationship with anyone, man or woman, I said. You only ask for dyke-fu from women with boyfriends, or women who are thousands of miles away, or women who are much younger than you so that you can "protect" them from your sexuality, and when you meet any of these women in the flesh you prefer chaste hugs to ruglicking.
