And just to clear up the numbers regarding university tuition (for anybody wondering, not that it's particularly important to this story), minus taxes and personal injury insurance she would be left with just shy of $36,000, while an undergraduate degree in anything other than medicine would cost somewhere from $14,000-$25,000 in tuition fees. Depending on her income and her parents' income, she may qualify for a student allowance of up to ~$7,200 pa from the government. scatterplot: I think it’s not allowed by Trademe’s TOS.

"El amor debe ser libre, no comprado." (Love must be free, not bought.) It's not such a difficult concept. I continue to be amazed by leftist support, tacit or explicit, for such horrific oppressions.

Yes. Okay, someone is assembling these RealGirl sex-appliances, and I feel pretty safe in assuming it's not a battalion of highly educated male-type MBA-wielding dudes. And that means the opportunities for sabotage are myriad. What if random dolls were programmed to deploy caustic chemicals or non-release clamps (or non-decelerating accelerators) after, say, the 17th fuck? Or even if they were programmed to say, instead of, "Ooh, hit me, hit me, harder harder!", something like, "Ooh, big boy, guess what? Surprise! I now control the horizontal. I control the vertical. I can blur your penis, or sharpen it to crystal clarity and then snap it right off. Maybe not tonight, maybe not tomorrow afternoon, but soon, soon, you will wake up and find your penis placed neatly under your pillow. Ooh." Okay, I know I'm gross and totally off-topic. But The Menstruator said "CHOMP!" and then my fingers started typing. CHOMP! Yes.

You could search the Talk-of-the-Nation-specific website for that date under the title, "Your Money: Wives Increasingly Earning More Than Husbands." Transcript is available. Unsurprisingly, it's all what-about-the-menz. The show was advertised on the radio as being about the more titillating "alpha wife." Now your blog currently shows up on the first page of articles when one types in alpha wife to the main NPR website search. Heh. Speaking of NPR, I will never forget how gross I felt driving to work and hearing on the morning news (about a year ago) how the tiniest g-string ever was worn at the Carnival in Brazil. The female reporter laughingly told us how it was only an inch wide to cover the naughty bits, which ruined my day and any good will I felt towards NPR. IBTP.

Slackers. Also, if we could invent artificial wombs, why not artificial sperm and eggs? I think it'd be great to live in a world where reproduction wasn't <i>necessarily</i> tied to physical male and female bodies. Of course, this depends on people (not patriarchs) being in control. If we were in charge, it'd be a dream; if not, a nightmare. Oh, science. I keep telling my bioengineer friends to hurry up with my legion of uterus men, but do they listen? Slackers.

Means they might stop telling me what I can do with mine. They try to kill us all and there might just be enough of us to rise up against them.
