All the great artists and thinkers were wussy and gay, weren't they?
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They didn't see enough penises when they were children.

Yeah, that's clearly Michelanglo's problem. Or Picasso.

My friend is going to so love me posting that...it must be "Erika embarrasses the men she's close to week." Sorry, y'all. I just thought it was funny. The Bell Jar is about women, but I wouldn't call it girly. Not like Colette or Jane Austen, anyway(though I think they are FG)

Pretty freaking cool, except mosquitoes.
Also cool because of the ruins.

[T]he boy's father has to do his part.... He can even take his son with him into the shower, where the boy cannot help but notice that Dad has a penis, just like his, only bigger.
That's right. Want your kid to grow up straight? Put him in an environment where he "cannot help but notice" other penises. Works every time.
To me, this sounds dangerously close to promoting pedophilia.
I'm not sure I think it's that, but I'm kind of mystified how they think this is supposed to work.

I'm guessing that the boy will be impressed by the power of his dad's penis, which will inspire him to use his penis in manly ways when he grows up.
I felt so icky typing that....

From their advice on Protecting your child from sexual abuse:
Don’t leave your children of either sex in the care of teenage boys. Furthermore, don’t allow your teenage boy to baby-sit.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
This:
Dr. Joseph Nicolosi reports, “In one study of 60 effeminate boys ages 4 to 11, 98 percent of them engaged in cross-dressing, and 83 percent said they wished they had been born a girl.”
cracks me up. I'm sure it was a very scientific study.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, and I totally forgot that Wednesday was National Underwear Day
Damn. If I'd known, I'd totally have worn some.
