Ultra-feminist. Crusade against mansplaining and manspreading. Up with herstory and down with misogyny.

That's hardly crusader-ial. But you would be surprised to hear that I have been thinking about something like this lately and can see the appeal. Sadly, with my profession it's hardly possible at the moment.

That's garbo's role. :P

I am actually fairly advanced in joining a fraternal organisation of sorts, though. This should give me some fuel to stave off ennui. :P

You should start a crusade in favour of polite discourse and civilized online discussions.

He could certainly up the Catholicism. Going full monk is something to keep in mind for when he has fuck-you money and the boytoys don't do it anymore.

What was it that took your heart out of it? The pro Putin connection, the Brexit vote, or something else?

You don't have boytoys if you are a monk?

What kind of historical revisionism is this!  :P

You said you were worried about getting old and fat. How about distance running or weight lifting or something similarly fitness oriented?

Well you still have that whole anti-Muslim thing going on. Or was that just part of the alt-right thing?
