"You'll notice that men who take an intellectual or professional interest in sexual education do not get called 'sexperts,' for the good reason that it makes you sound like an idiot."

Comment policy for Feminisnt: I do not publish blatant insults and trolling. You must use a name/handle other than anonymous or asdf because I am tired of giving space to detractors who are too lazy to pick a fake handle and too scared to use a real one. I no longer publish comments bitching at me about how feminism is the greatest thing ever. And I may not publish your comment if I have already addressed that specific issue several times already. Read my responses to other comments before asking a new question. Finally, if your comment hinges on an obvious logical fallacy, I might not publish that, either, except to make fun of you. All new commentors have their first comment held for moderation. Commenting on my blog and taking up space on my server is a privilege, not a right.
Furry Girl: a good time not yet had by all.
Activism
- I operate SWAAY.org, an accessible sex workers' rights site that educates the general public about our lives and our issues.
- I've been vegan for 12 years because it's the easiest way for an individual to contribute to less violence, suffering, and exploitation.
My adult sites
- Cocksexual.com: Strapons
- EroticRed.com: Menstruation

Aww, thanks. I'm sorry we didn't properly meet at Arse Elektronika. I tried to catch you on your way out after your stories (I was sitting on the white fur thing by the entrance), but I guess you were in a hurry.

Trip me next time!

Ha! I hate that word. Although, I thought I would share a word I accidentally made up tonight: pervect. Someone told me that he would mail me his tongue since he wasn't using it and I meant to type, "perfect," but made a Freudian typing slip.

Oh, I guess I'm not that original. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MythAdventures

Kat: "Pervect" is 10000% more intelligent-sounding than "sexpert." I approve. I fuck up all the time at inventing words. Someone invented "feminisnt" before me (though used in a totally different context, used to insult women who dress sexy).
