"The Spanish have the right idea when it comes to talking about bodies: They say "the", not "my", distancing themselves. I am not my wattle."
-Carol K. Howell
ETA: Just noticed misoGYNy runs so deep they forgot to label that woman's pippi.

"To think and to be fully alive are the same." - Hannah Arendt
About Me
- Doctor Plog
- I am a 35-year-old Australian N.B.F (natural born feminist, never got the vagina = inferior thang) who lives in London with one lovely Englishman and too many remote controls (and phones that look like remote controls). My hobbies include thinking, ruminating, reading, daydreaming, overanalysing and cutting stuff out of newspapers. I can be both stoopidly sentimental and bitterly cynical (not that the two are mutually exclusive). And my absolute bete noir: mindless, myopic stereotyping based on genderraceclasssexuality and other constructed, arbitrary categories. (Imagine if we defined ourselves in terms of eye colour or nipple size?) My favourite food group is carbohydates, my karaoke song of choice is Pat Benatar's "Love is a Battlefield" and I used to be able to speak Indonesian.

First thing I noticed, Dr P. But then, I'm an over-sensitive feminist... :-/
Is there any other kind?
;)
And they forgot to give them pubes!
Pubes?! What are pubes?
