There are so few kind men in this world that I remember all of them. I can't believe you had to remove that post because of the slime that slithers around on this planet. Un-fucking-believable. It's probably slime like this that makes people want to live in past decades. I just want to deal with as little slime as possible. You got the right idea, Twisty...living out in the country with deer, horses, dogs, and armadillos. Can't you just ban the slime forever?

Time Warp Wives was a UK TV show. Interesting to google, don’t take the promo article at face value.

So I'm off to the Twisty archives to read everything she's ever written here in case something else disappears. Apologies if some very old posts start popping up in the "Latest Blamer Invective" column - I often find it hard to resist commenting even on long dead discussion threads. Oh, and isn't it interesting that the logical response to both a nice and a nasty father is feminism. IBTP. Well I’ve got deleted post envy.

I got chicken envy, I got money envy, I got place-in-the-country envy, I got armadillo envy. I even got inflatable-lung envy (to be exact: DEflatable-lung envy) this week. Don't got cancer envy. Don't got Texas envy... Well, maybe a few days a year. I'm not looking for a fucking ~role model~ here, just enjoyment and a bit o' sociality. Maybe that's the difference.

A lot of us became feminists because we grew up watching our fathers exploit their privilege in order to use and abuse our mothers and ourselves. I confess I feel a twinge of bitterness when I meet a woman with a decent father.
