1. This should be a book

The book could have an immense influence on the world.

Of course, you'd have to add a lot of words.

2. As it is, it makes for a fine pamphlet, or maybe just a wonderful screed

I think we really need to deeply examine the lengths at which totally ridiculous innocuous-seeming things can have horrible oppressive impacts on vulnerable populations and society at large. For instance, the direct and clear correlation between shag carpeting and violent crime, a story which has been COMPLETELY covered up, like a hardwood floor, by the mainstream media.

Or how the Ty-D-Bowl man ads in the 70s were a deliberate attempt by the Patriarchy to imprint an entire generation with coprophilia. I mean, it's obvious, yet anyone who tries to discuss it is silenced and mocked. Sad, just sad.

3. I think you're a genius!

[Warren DeMontague]

4. Well, you know what they say...

there's a fine line between genius and inanity.

5. I have to admit.....

I'm glad I came back this evening and re-read this. At 5:30 in the morning, well before any coffee or cigs, I think I took this completely the wrong way lol. Brilliant!

6. Picket Fences was an awesome show

I wish it had used it's clear tribute to the patriarchy to finish better than 70th in the ratings.

That's all I have to add.

7. If I read between the picket lines...

I think it's quite clear that YOU are trying to be the forum gatekeeper. I may have to take this into Meta....

8. I think you're reading too much into it

OP doesn't seem like he wants anything more than a safe place to voice his opinion for open discussion.
pretty much like the rest of us.

9. If I'm the gatekeeper

are you the keymaster?

[Old and In the Way]

10. You are so busted.

And I say that in a non-sexist way!

11. I wish this was funny, but I have to do it for three more months to get my degree...

I'm thinking about working with Melanie Safka's brilliant post-Freudian insight into the nature of patriarchal oppression, from Psychotherapy, "A thing's a phallic symbol if it's longer than it's wide."

12. Ha!

You know, I never knew that was her last name.

13. When people refuse to accept paradigm challenging confrontational consciousness raising re-education

everyone suffers.

14. Europe has been on the forefront of gender neutrality for decades. For instance,

Little Dutch boy paint was advocating gender neutral haircuts years ago.




I should know, some extremely high barber saddled me with this exact look some time in 1974.
