a wok in the park
This is how stupid I am: I'm around so many feminists all of the time that I had no idea how many people still use douche. I was just under the impression that it had gone away like the chastity belt. I knew it was probably still used in parts of the world where people like to practice that old-time patriarchy (perhaps in the South, for example

I didn't realize there were commercials for douche, either. I never watch television. Maybe that's why I was surprised that people still use that shit.

Massengil comes to mind when I think of douche commericals. But then again, that was back in the 80's. I feel old.

I remember those commercials when I was in grade school. I don't think I've seen them more recently than that. I was just assuming (and hoping) that Massengil was in the same category as Thalidomide these days.

Having the subject picked is definitely one of the tougher parts of writing a paper... don't envy you that... I'll have to write one of my own soon and I'm only partly sure of the topic I want to do.

Looking at my comment again, I just realized that I made a typographical error. Oh well. I just hope pinkmush can get her husband to stop being such a punk about giving her oral sex. I'm glad you enjoyed my openness!

Yes--I'm hoping I can enjoy the easy parts now!

As for Fronimos, I've never even been there, so I probably wouldn't have recommended it to you, unless I was possessed by a spirit, in an altered state, or having some sort of schizophrenic episode.

I used to work for Wild Oats, and they consistently look for places with a high median income to establish new locations. It used to make me sick to see how many people would come to my location in 40- or 50-grand SUVs, rendering it a bit pointless to buy "Fair Trade" or "earth-friendly" products by the time they've hauled them to their gated communities in their damn yuppie-mobiles.
I'm not sure what to make of the phenomenon. Maybe this is how yuppies buy their indulgences nowadays. They put in their token support of "sustainability" and "social responsibility" and ease their guilt for being a bunch of privileged butt-holes.

also, it always bothered me that vegetarians/vegans make fake meat food because i always thought the goal should be to get away from a culture that values meat as food so therefore fake turkey is just a cop out, for thanksgiving they shouldnt have something shaped like a turkey, it should be something completely different.

I'm not really into the whole fake meat scene. I'd rather have nuts, seeds, and plain old beans for my protein. But I guess I'm not bothered by vegetarians or vegans who eat fake meat. After all, even meat-eaters eat fake meat. They eat that whitefish crap that's passed off as crab. And then there are hot dogs and bologna....
But I think the worst thing anyone can do is eat fake vegetables.

and hot dogs and bologna arent fake meat, they are still meat and people who eat those things arent going aorund saying 'meat is murder' or other such mottos.

You know, you could probably just get me to try the matzo balls at Lovin' Spoonfuls, and maybe I'd change my mind about them. After all, I used to refuse to eat bananas, and look at me now: I have two fucking bananas in my kitchen right now.
Rest assured, though, the only fake meat I have in my kitchen are those Trader Joe's Breakfast Patties.
