This spinster laughed so hard at Twisty’s description of that UK article I thought my appendix would bust.

Fun fact about Colbert (from No Fact Zone:

“Of the sixty-seven writers nominated for an Emmy in the Comedy/Music/Variety Show category last year, only four were women. Three of those four ([Laura] Krafft, [Meredith] Scardino and Allison Silverman) now write for The Colbert Report.”

To say nothing of all the brilliant women who otherwise fill the ranks of the show. (Yeah, I intern there.)

[…] right to sexual pleasure into the nation’s constitution. From what I understand, the law is just about laying the groundwork for public policies that acknowledge that women are sexu…not just wombs on feet. And everything that would follow—good education, reproductive rights, […]

I, myself, just adore a good marriage.

I’m kind of into the whole New Age heart chakra thing. Or maybe the ghost of a tortured, dead Nazerene, on a stick.

WendyAnn I also agree with Twisty’s assesment of marriage. Polly over at sizeofacow has a detailed post on the real purpose of marriage, you should read it:

Violence is the elemental force;
Propaganda is the elemental word;
Money is the elemental metaphor.

I much prefer the new Physics. The one where up is down, black is white, and everyone has a dog-whistle.

Everything is just a theory, dahlings.

…except what Twisty says, of course.

Since I was a small child, I have been vehemently anti-marriage. I always stated when asked, because total strangers think it’s OK to demand of little girls who they want to marry and how many kids they want, that I was never, ever, ever getting married.

I never understood why it was so abhorrent to me on such a basic level.

It can’t be said enough — thank you Twisty for this, “Marriage is actually the elemental unit of patriarchy.”
