I’m not the only one (we’re not the only ones) in a towering rage.
That, what Victoria said. That’s what I meant by the strangled yowl “without ‘woman’ IT MAKES NO SENSE.” If you remove “woman” wtf are you even talking about? Just random incidents floating past, not systematic subordination of a specific category of people.

Yeah, the decision whether or not to bear a child had about as much bearing on my life as the decision whether or not to move to Andromeda. Regardless of my desires, neither was happening.
On the other hand, the decision whether or not to impregnate a woman (with her permission) was pretty central.
WaM: I hear there is a Brazilian doctor who PROMISES that he can sole that lack.
Brian M,
He can send me to Andromeda? Cool!
I’d be ok with Hawaii. :)

Surprised they used brackets. I’d have expected them to doctor the quote and pretend they hadn’t.
John,
But then how would everyone know?
I suspect that’s kind of the point.
