Love this.
That's insane troll logic!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I like Lessons from The Pantyhose Man.
ita, bless you! I have a hell of a time finding shoes that aren't open toe.

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
Aw, Theodosia, I have to name the baby first, and then fill its mind with filth. I'm partial to The Kid Behind the Counter Hates You. I think publishers will fear it, maybe.

I hope not. It sounds the most you-like of them all. Plus, funny.

I like Hate then Life Lessons the best. But I have a somewhat irrational (ok, maybe all the way irrational) dislike of tao of titles. I'd blame it on freshman english, but that'd probably just be making something up.
Why does the sky always start falling when I'm about to be able to do nothing about it?

Always Anti-fascist!
And it'll leap out on the shelf. I love that, even if mine don't.

Love this, and I don't see it as particularly unmarketable.

I have a totally rational dislike of them. They always sound to me like copycat advice books propped up on really vagued-up Eastern bullshit and sold to business types. (And, sadly, I don't disagree at all with the "marketable" assessment.)

And the "tao of" titles are probably a little too numerous at this point.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There's always "Zen and the Art of Lingerie Sales."
