Believe me: I’m not just giving lip service here…

Perhaps it’s the cave I dwell in, but I thought the world had settled the question of the existence of “vaginal orgasms” about forty years ago, and then moved on. Looks like not.

You get my point.)

Ignore the clitoris and you end up looking for gurus who have funny names and have to gaze into your eyes”, hahahaha you are hilarious Sister Wolf…

I´m curious, what do you think exactly about feminism? Do you consider yourself one?

I was reading a really very kind profile of Wolf and this book in ELLE and like, “Uh huh, yeah, ok…maybe I’ll consider a few of these points” until I got to the GODDESS shit and I just lost it and read the rest out loud to my boyfriend. He agreed to try Wolf’s theory out, if only I would refer to his member as a ‘galavanting knight’ or something equally preposterous (god I love that term, some uptight horrible old hippie woman was ranting in the public library about how it was ‘simply preposterous’ that the dimensions of miniature refrigerators weren’t listed on whatever discount website she was looking at, which really raises many other questions but I digress…).

Oh and on the topic of hated words, I’ve been noticing rampant and inappropriate usage of the term ‘bespoke’ these days. The new ‘artisan’/’artisnal’. Coming soon in Spring 2013: ‘bespoke’ donuts from giant chain donut shops, ‘bespoke’ jeans made by Bangladeshi factory workers at Shopbop, ‘bespoke’ handcrafted notecards at Barnes & Noble, etc.

Two vaginas, jeez – one creates enough havoc. Two boxes of tampons, trichomonas in one and candida in the other…and what happens with orgasm? I guess you can’t quit till everybody’s been satisfied. Too much work.
