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
Usually the best stuff I write comes out of my hands at a frantic pace for no apparent reason and then when i reach the end I have to go back and read to figure out what the hell I was talking about. And I'm amazed that it seemed that important.

There's apparently going to be an "occupy Ditmas" gathering in front of my neighborhood library today in solidarity with the OWS protesters. I have no idea what this is supposed to accomplish - we're not protesting libraries.

I come here because no one here will try to gaslight me into believing that the patriarchy doesn't exist and that women actually have all the power in the world.

This just makes me think of all the dick-jokes I had to stifle while reading JK Rowling go on about wandlore.
Magical Ladybits would be a good band name, though.

Thank you for the birthday wishes, everyone!
Someone on Tumblr said "You're a Scorpio? It all makes sense now!" Huh. I've had other people say that to me, and I've never particularly thought I match a lot of the "Scorpio personality traits". (For one thing, I think astrology is amusing fiction.)
But hey! I share a birthday with RuPaul, which means it is a FABULOUS day.

Current argument: Men cannot be friends with women they are attracted to, and I don't know why this bothers you.

Which some dude on the Internet would insist were not real musicians because they sing, are in an all-female band, wear red on Tuesdays, ate White Castle for lunch, or in some other way failed to season his misogynist sauce.

Women can't be friends with insecure douchebags, and it totally doesn't bother me at all.
