Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I am just sometimes still surprised at random acts of misogyny or sexism.

I feel like, "oh, wait, so in your head, I'm lesser in multiple ways because I have a vag."

And then they bring up some caveman shit like it's just evolution and not really my fault, and I'll never be equal because I can't write my name in the snow. Then come the stats about how men run all the fortune 500s and have made all the important historical contributions to humanity, but really, it's not my fault because I'm built for baby-having.

And I always want to get on a plane, go to England, get Margaret Thatcher, and have her kick the shit of the dude while screaming, "who's the alpha male now, bitch?"

Maybe we can march them off to rocket ships to colonize Mars?

Like the C.M. Kornbluth story?

You could write it on his skin with an X-acto.

Brenda, that is some crazy shit. Christ. But I love the suggestions here!

Bon, I kinda heart that email. "what classes are you teaching next semester? If you give me an A I will take them and rate you highly"

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Y'all are making me laugh out loud! Kumquat is one of my favorite words, I think it'd be a great swear word! Jellyfuck and Hey Zeus Crisco are also excellent. I'm also agreeing on trying not to say things like "son of a bitch" and "bastard". Being a bitch isn't always so bad, and let's not bring their parents into it!

Just don't start with one and switch to the other midword, brenda. I doubt she'd appreciate Jesusfucker either.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Congrats, Aims!

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Like the C.M. Kornbluth story?

That was the reference. Not that that that story is not based on really problematic biological determinism, but an attempt at a humorously supportive reply.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Hey Zeus Crisco is my new favorite swear.

I think classic swearing should be allowed for anyone working at a computer. That's why they call it the cursor..

Yay, Aims!

I'm working on adding Kumquat to my everyday vocabulary. "She is such a kumquat, I swear." "Get this kumquat out of my face." "Hey, kumquat, learn to drive!"

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I think the proper phrasing is "Hey, kumquat brain, learn to drive!"
