'Why We Fight'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Come back here you didactic corrector!

This was a time when scholars and priests thought that just being near women would taint them and keep them from achieving intellectual and spiritual enlightenment.
They were right, you know. It's true. We have amazing powers. 'Cause we're pretty and smell nice. And -- boobies.
Not for nothing, but there are millions of men alive today who are terrified of the Magical Powers of Women. Even just looking at a woman could fuck you up!
Plus you could get muddy down there so close to the earth.
The only Magical Power of Women that terrifies me is the abilty possessed by ones in checkout lines ahead of me to agonize over insignificant purchases, misplace their checkbooks and ID, make small talk with the cashier, etc. while I have frozen food defrosting in my hands.
I have two nonfiction book recommendations:
Phil Dusenberry,
Then We Set His Hair on Fire
Simon Singh,
Big Bang
Both books are great reads, very interesting, and made me think about things in a new way.

What? Men don't do this too? Or is it just where you are more women do the grocery shopping then men?
At the risk of being labelled a slug-eating he-man, as a rule, men don't chat while shopping.
If men do it, none of them have ever done so while in front of me in a checkout line. Any delays while waiting behind a guy were cashier- rather than customer-driven.
I think our gender is more goal-oriented when making purchases. Also, no purses to lose things in.
