Thanks, Greg, for assuming such an awesome responsibility!

Speaking of entertainment, what happened to Sheldon?? It appears he's gone
AWOL; perhaps the revelation that I'm female drove him underground.

She has a long history of hypocrisy. She's the number one banner-waver

A bigot is a bigot. Every religions spawns a few. In fact, some even
exist among those who claim no religion.

It is overbearing to be preached at by someone who cloaks herself in
religiosity, only to find out she doesn't know Scripture from Shinola
about her own.

Yaknow, there's a lot that was dumb about the 60's women's movement (as
there are about a lot of 'movements' anyway) and that held a lot of things
back. Makes me wonder how many feisty feminists with more drive than
gumption ended up the ER rooms, having 'You were supposed to REMOVE it
FIRST!' screamed at them as they had burn ointment applied liberally...

Yoicks! You're spot-on with your assessment (and funny, too!). Those poor,
zealous, misguided women!!The problem with most "movements," however
well-intentioned the cause, is that at some point the members begin to take
themselves too seriously. When perspective gets lost, the cause is bound to
follow. Ya gotta maintain a sense of humor, folks.

I recall one of my post-grad literature classes, "Anti-Feminist Satire".
The first few weeks of the term, a portion of the enrollees were members of
the campus "women's lib" group, very few (if any) of whom were literature
students. They had enrolled to bash the authors, and couldn't understand
why the rest of us were critiquing the works as satire. We were looking at
such luminaries as Jonathon Swift and Alexander Pope, but the merits of the
texts were lost to the feminists. None of them had senses of humor, to
boot; most left after several weeks, muttering bitterly as they walked out
the door. It was a LITERATURE class, for gawd's sake!! The professor, a
feminist in her own right, had a doctorate in LITERATURE. All these years
later, I still shake my head when I think on it.

<lol> Reminds me of the feminist Lit' professor I had in college.

Just to irk her, I wrote an essay on the social structure of "Gor".

The world invented by John Norman. ;-)

She asked to borrow some of the books. I loaned her "Slave girl of Gor".

I got a B in the class.

And then what, the rabid few amongst the rational many, will furiously
'type' at me? <Giggle>.



Just cracks me up how context (as in the material of this thread) can effect
not only the meaning of what we read, but what words we physically see in
front of us. If this had been a long and involving 'preserve' thread for
instance, I may well have read 'Home, Jams,..' heheheheh...


Slanche!

Indeed <sigh>. You also run the risk, or should I say 'face the certainty'
of accumilating bunches of the 'protest anything' crowd. You know, the
people that spend there lives occupied in searching for issues to fight
about. They don't know it usually, but hey are really only in it for the
fight itself, not the cause. These are the kinds of people you may meet in a
pub, say, and when you inocently attempt to start a friendly conversation,
get verbally savaged because you are part of the <insert their issue of the
moment>. (It's only coincidence that this is a female example again, so
please don't beat me up!) Heaven forbid that I, as a male, should smile and
attempt to engage a lone young woman who was stood in the middle of a
(crowded) pub, who just so happens to be a radical feminist *******. I
should have known that all men were utter ****s (this choice of words made
me LMAO! and I nearly had her get physical with me because of it), and that
meant that I, being a man, was of course an 'UC' too, and therefore fully
worthy and deserving of all the verbal violence she could hurl my way. Heh,
I was just a friendly guy being friendly, not some 'vile misogynistic
leering sleazebag thinking all women are up for it and probably going to
turn out to be a rapist' attempting to hit on her (Not only was I happily
coupled at the time, she was not in the least attractive to me). I mean, as
I first smiled her way, I nodded and said 'Alright!' I suppose I should have
seen it coming... heheheh...

And then there's my encounters with the 'green' types, psychopathically
vegetarian, white dreadlocks and tatty clothes...

Wow, it's been something like twenty years since I thought about Gor. (I
used to belong to the Science Fiction Book Club.) Back in my DJ days, I
once irked a feminazi by playing the song "Pleasure Slave" by Manowar. The
lyrics a


She is waiting to kiss my hand
But she will wait for my command
My chains and collar brought her to her knees
She now is free to please

Woman, be my slave
That's your reason to live
Woman, be my slave
The greatest gift I can give
Woman, be my slave

Before her surrender she had no life
Now she's a slave, not a wife
Her only sorrow is for women who live with lies
She's taken off her disguise

Woman, be my slave
That's your reason to live
Woman, be my slave
The greatest gift I can give
Woman, be my slave

Your body belongs to me

Woman, come here
Remove your garments
Kneel before me
Please me

Woman, be my slave
That's your reason to live
Woman, be my slave
The greatest gift I can give
Woman, be my slave


There was about a minute of stunned disbelief (and blessed silence) before
the fallout started. :-)

Sharon Green is actually better than John Norman.
Probably because she is female so understands the female mind a bit
better. ;-)

Hah! You DAWG, you!! I can only imagine the avalanche of protest from the
mightily offended in your audience; you must've gotten an earful.

A college boyfriend of mine was a DJ on the campus station, the
nine-to-midnight shift. He'd pick his eclectic playlists carefully,
alternating John Coltrane with Frank Zappa with Maria Callas with B.B. King
with Patsy Cline . . .

Kitties can be good snugglers, true; having some good bourbon or single malt
at hand speeds up the warming factor considerably.

Snuggle well, Sheldon darlin'.
