Putting yourself, naked, on the cover of your album is an invitation for people to comment on your naked body. Even if they don't listen to the album.

(It's her career now, so her bluster is her living.) In all the gaming that I do (and I do a lot) I haven't encountered the misogyny that inspires her. And we realized that Anita doesn't game.

Why, oh why? Because that's who they are and that's what they do? Because any leftist cause always turns into coercion?<br /><br />"there's only one way to express yourself as some kind of neutered thing, this mound, this clump, turning away from your gender-based responses - towards women, towards men, towards sex. This neutering, this castration, is something no-one really wants or believes in." It depends. If the neutering serves a prog purpose, for example to put white males in their place, it's good; if it doesn't, it isn't -- for example, if it is used to impose on trannies who want to come out, it's bad. In prog politics, all arguments and all ethics are situational.Sebastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00505631054204611033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-34030296070989821552016-08-03T16:39:18.659-05:002016-08-03T16:39:18.659-05:00The SJWs would be merely pathetic if not for how s...The SJWs would be merely pathetic if not for how seriously they are taken by our elites.
