... I think a lot more people would have died.

I don't recall Shakespeare ever using a chorus.

Chicks like that typically don't howl like banshees when they get they rocks off.

You -want- a woman to cry out in delight? How revolting!

She is, after all, not supposed to be enjoying it at all; she is -debasing- herself, submitting to a horrible indignity under the terrible constraints of social expectation, personal obligation, and biological imperative. It is an ordeal. How she bears it says a lot about her, of course; a mature lady might be expected to accept it with a certain resignation. In a woman more comparatively shielded from the excesses of sin and iniquity, we could expect some degree of crying, before of afterwords.

An important take away of course is that everything is about appearances; it is unreasonable to place upon her the expectation that she not enjoy it at all, but she can at least -pretend-. (There is, indeed, an entire sublevel of erotic interplay between some amorous, indecent creature putting on an unconvincing show of horror and distaste) Shame is rightfully strongly correlated with sexuality, and can have an enhancing effect. (This is one of the primary highlights of the philosophy behind bukkake, as I believe I explained to languish some time ago.)

I think you've assimilated too much nonsense from a society that has a hard time admitting their past failures and has a deep-seated contempt for women.

He does.  It's essentially the narrator.  A short example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZFngXSDD0I

Victorian Britain?

I think there is a lot of weight to that argument; rejection of the horrors of egalitarian non-gendered equality can go too far in the other direction.

Still, if most people wouldn't go that far, much of the world is prepared to prefere innocence to wanton behavior.

So I look down from the chair because I hear little mewwings (Squee!), and see GangstaKitty having one hell of a nightmare, kicking her little legs hither and thither.

I wake her up, and she's looking around like she didn't know where she was, looking around for something that wasn't there.  Poor thing was probably being chased by the goofy ass dog.

I'm not sure about the north/south distinction in the UK.
I think that's more just a type of beer thing.

Not even that, he's trying to mimic the ways of odd niches (do outcasts have niches?) of Japanese society.
Real Japanese girls != Japanese adult entertainment.
Heck, even the extent to which the adult entertainment girls sound like they're dying is overblown.

And that's fine.  But the idea that women shouldn't enjoy sex is utterly, utterly foolish.  It flies into the face of their very biology.  The kind of men who advance that sort of thinking aren't interested in aesthetics or virtue.  They are interested in their own hatred and fear of women, and the control that they need over women to feel secure.  There's nothing wrong with encouraging modesty and class, but those of us who fight that battle must ever guard against the kind of thinking that turns women into objects rather than people.

The whole of Britain is a crosshatch pattern, so I think it's just saying both are commonly used throughout.

A similar map of North/South America would be awfully boring

Man Hitler is really popular in Asia.  I can only conclude more than a few Asians hate Russians and/or Jews.  Come to think of it that is a pretty big constituency.

More seriously, I suspect they just think he's an important and iconic figure, and are unaware of or indifferent to the horror with which he's viewed in other parts of the world.

It's like some kids wearing a Mao or Che Guevera shirt. They often have no idea who these folks actually were.

I know.

I part the Red Sea.

The blood is fine, who cares, but the smell can be unpleasant.  And I smoke: that's like a man with ten percent vision in one eye critiquing your photography.

[fhdz]

She never menstruates; she's pregnant all the time.

This is true.  After all, you've never seen a Tribble wear a Tampax.

[Josquius]

This ongoing Zimmerman case. I'm always surprised to see a picture of Zimmerman, the name just brings to mind an angry old guy, not a youngish guy. All angry old guys have to start somewhere of course but....its just such an old man name

Barf.  Bet you wear the war paint too, Dances With Menstruation.

Me big chief. Have strong medicine.
