I'm taking this class called history of sexuality right now. Apparently, that whole 'women are mysterious thing' goes hand in hand with 'they do not enjoy sex (but should do it anyway even if it's detrimental to their health-which, in case you were wondering supposedly is- and be happy about it because that's their duty to their forever grateful husbands who will in turn go easy on them, you know, just so as not to kill em off too quickly'. Oh if you do enjoy sex, it just means you're either a potential or actual inmate at an insane asylum. Also, masturbation leads to death. Or insanity, but mostly, just death. Kinda scary how much medicine advanced in the last century (this other stuff was like 18, 19 century)... people actually try to base research on facts.
Well anyway, my point is, I really can't respect that entire mysterious thing anymore either.
Also, hope you had fun in costa rica and miss you!
