This is the sort of story that makes me nostalgic for running people out of town on a rail.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That's horrific, askye.

That's appalling, askye. I'm glad she was fired.
Thank you for the link, ita. I'm flattered you used me as an example. The "dressing up and playing with feminine traits is shallow and dumb" argument makes me furious. Look, people, if you don't like to do those things, NO ONE is forcing you. And I sure as hell don't look down on you for that. Kindly return the favor, thanks.

I complained to the administration about it loudly. I was really proud because I didn't have Mom go with me, I made a list, asked to see the principal and went through all the issues. That being at the top of the list.
Then she got fired and people got mad at me because she was "nice".

I just took a big drink of water, and only sheer force of will kept it off my monitor.

Oh I forgot the worst part - she basically said the same thing applied to children who were sexually abused.
"Something" happens and a man is aroused and he "has" to have sex or he will ... die or something I swear I don't know what her justification was. So he has to rape. And that makes it okay. Because it's a biological function.

Because books.
It makes you wonder what her history was, sadly. Not that it's any excuse, but she sounds ... brainwashed. Jesus.
