River: The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given adequate vacuuming systems. Mal: See, morbid and creepifying, I got no problem with, long as she does it quiet-like.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think there's a lot of "poisoning" of "our space" by the "other" when it comes to majority privilege -- it's just that the majority has most of the spaces, and when it gets pissy, it gets pissy big.
There are also, apparently, a lot of quotation marks.
Can we skip over today?

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Now I get to worry about people talking about me all weekend long....
This is what they will say.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Can we skip over today?
Gods, yes.
Let's go straight to tomorrow, which is not only THE WEEKEND but also MY BIRTHDAY. It will be a much better day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Happy Birthday-eve, Jessica!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I don't hang out in fanfic circles- are there a lot of guys as idiotic as this woman describes?
I'm not in fanfic circles, either, but I do see a lot of that same sort of response whenever any women found a "women-oriented" theater. There's a lot of mocking and rolling-of-eyes, and demands for inclusion, because if excluding women is wrong, so is excluding men.

His lj name is houster_gold. The one who doesn't watch TV yet insists that us womens RESPECT HIS AUTHORITAH.
The best part, I think, is when he and his little friends went apeshit over what he thought was implied homophobia. But since he knows everything there is to know about everything ever (why should he cite? he's the expert here!), he didn't realize that "honey" has long been used as a patronizing term for women, and wasn't about how many rubber duckies he has in his closet.

Wow, that sounds like quality discourse.
I have to say, I'm suddenly getting a crash course in macro-projects, and they way they lumber but can still change direction with blinding speed. Some weeks my status reports are completely unrecognisable from the weeks before -- but at least I'm picking up the phone more often and calling strangers to ask them what they mean.
Two big payoffs -- you get tone, and there's no paper trail.
Off to find that business continuity document. Page 31 is a real keeper.
