I am glad to hear you say it.

"The “sexual revolution” begins with a complete falsification of the nature and purpose of sexual activity."

Truer words were never spoken. God bless you, sir.

You know, I'm anti-abortion in any circumstance, including in-vitro fertilization procedures and stem-cell research but I have to say that you are completely nuts.

I would rather have had an analysis of what you think is wrong with my arguments.

That is horrible... mostly because it makes a horrible lot of sense....

I haven't digested the politics yet, but the human motivation seems spot-on.

Well, no, he was presenting the reader of the comics as male because statistics tell us that 96% of superhero fans are male. You can go to a comics con (I've been to half a dozen) and not sight a single female human being for hours. By the same token, I would assume, though I bear a penis myself, that any other writer of Harry Potter fanfics I met would be female, since at least four out of every five are. (One of the biggest sins of feminism is finding oppression in what is mere specificity.)

And let me rephrase that sentence in the light of your objections: To the cretin in question, releasing sperm into female bodies on a regular basis really was a demonstration of mental balance, sharpness and soundness. Especially, one assumes, if a thin wall of rubber is placed between penis and body. Does that really improve matters?

And you missed my point. Throughout history, only boors bragged of getting "shags". Once upon a time, a gentleman refused to speak of his bonnes fortunes. To establish one's self-respect on such things is to degrade oneself.
