"Every time you call Ann Coulter a tranny cunt instead of a halfwit demagogue..."
Posting here instead of Wobbly Bits because of the wider exposure:
I swear to Offler I was going to put a dent in my paper when I got back from my walk this evening (today's intended topic: Quincey P. Morris as intelligent strategist vs. film portrayals as stupid Texas cowboy hick), but I made the mistake of checking my flist first and there found magpieinthesky's link to Schrödinger’s Rapist: or a guy’s guide to approaching strange women without being maced.
Which, after three hours of comment-readage, led me to "On Being a No-Name Blogger Using Her Real Name", which, DAMN, read it now. All the way through. And think about it. Both of them.
Now, watch me write a long-winded analysis of Barney Stinson Re: those two articles instead of my paper. Or even my Anti-Time Lord High Council rant that I _swear_ I had half done when it just vanished into the ether. Apparently Ianto is still on clean-up detail for such things...
Thanks again, Mags.
ETA: Also, this list of Sexual Assault Prevention Tips Guaranteed to Work is win.
EOATA: Okay, brain, can this be considered my penance?
EOLTBMSTA: It is now 5 AM (EST), and I am now _done_ reading comments/supplemental links/etc, and can now start to get done all those things that I meant to do yesterday/last night (good thing I always intended this to be an all-nighter night, eh?). I did want to add before I moved on with my life, though, that the song referenced/embedded in the Would it kill you to be civil? post made me reopen some unresolved issues I've had with Dr. Horrible/Billy since my first viewing.
(Sorry, NPH; you are awesome on toast, and I really didn't mean to single your characters out in all this. Especially since you're not exactly part of the offending demographic.)
