But men have an obligation to rescue kittens from burning buildings, pay for your drinks, hold the door open for you, keep their hair neat, go to war and many other things.

Australia's Next Top Germaine
A young lass I’m loosely acquainted with through facespace posted a status today that consisted of little more than calling Kyle Sandilands fat. Numerous comments from her within reiterated that sentiment, both unimaginatively and with an excessive use of capitals.

Anonymous asked: Oh good, I was worried you'd fob off my advances. Don't get too attached, though - kidney failure potentially intimate. You'd give me a transplant, though, right? For our love? And it's undeniable, rage filled passion?

The marrying kind
An email conversation with Emily O, regarding a famous man I find attractive:
C: I love ********. I want to marry him and kiss him on the lips.
E: Is ******** the marrying kind? Surely someone can introduce you and then you can work your feminine wiles on him until he is mere putty in your hands and then you can go off him.
C: Ha ha! It’s true :(
E: Surely some man will excude the...
Anonymous asked: to kill a child in the womb through it being life threatening to the mother is one thing, to kill a child in the womb if a women has been raped is at least more understandable, but what you did was disgraceful and you should get to grips, see its fault then move on, until then YOU are being manipulative and spreading SELFISH misinfo, so go ahead and try to reclaim your soul for fuck sake...

A piece I wrote for ABC’s Ramp Up.
It’s the first time I’ve written about disability issues, and I’m acutely aware of how irritating it might be for people with disabilities or people who have long considered those issues to read about someone’s Damascus moment. I’m definitely nowhere near my comfort zone with this one, but it was interesting to write.
