I am haunted by humans.

I fell asleep after coming too soft for trying for too long. And I dreamed it dirty, and graphic to a hard fault. I've only had two such dreams, now, and both were of people I'd never want to touch, and both sickened me. Usually these dreams could have been true, or fail. They are soft and lack sense, like dreams do. But these ones are reasoned, ( Read more... )

It means so much to me that it meant that much to you.

When I had sent your copy, I wasn't even halfway finished- but I knew it was yours. And mine.

We will talk. I am etzelism. You're welcome.

Re: interests earlofgrey June 28 2006, 00:14:11 UTC

Desideratum is Latin for "the thing desired". The Enlightenment thinkers were all about the word, but I still like it ( ... )

i think the thing that i don't quite understand is "being a boy." i've been one, and frankly, it's quite limiting.

Yeah. I wonder, sometimes, especially after I've watched a bit of tv. Tv really doesn't make it look like a good idea.

Or watched them in public. Or lived with them.

the problem is this - in the 50s the scope of acceptable behavior for women was very restricted, in the subordinate role. over time the scope of acceptable behavior for women has really expanded, as part of a movement of liberation.

what is not typically recognized is that the scope of acceptable behavior for men was likewise equally limited in the 50s, though in the dominant role. being the dominant role, however, no need was seen to "liberate" men (and in fact, what little effort i've seen on this front has met with hostility from the mainstream, and even greater hostility from many feminist women), so there's really been very little change on that front (which i think is partially to blame for the current levels of anti-feminism in america).

there was a comic who described this when he said (paraphrased): "have you ever noticed how when men hug each other, they always pat each other on the back? sort of like they're saying, 'i'm hugging you, but i'm hitting you too.'"
