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

Talk about starting out well and ending up in stalker territory:

If you could read just one article about saving your relationship, this is it. I dare you to read every word of this article and NOT transform her resistance into total submission…

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

Is it a BDSM thing? Or one of those weird evangelical christian things with the daddy issues? They're sort of the same.

We are where there is, Gud.

Speaking of which, I guess Sean hasn't adjusted his baseline yet--we'd have heard, huh?

Not if he followed the google links and clawed his eyes out afterwards.

Well there's the whole submission thing and the spare the rod thing and the pro-torture thing and the training daughters to be good submissives until their daddies transfer ownership and the all that stuff.

But at least the BDSM people have safe words.

I'm on the fence about who has better fashion sense.

Wait, wait, wait--how does BDSM not win this hands (tied) down?

Well, from a practical standpoint, I think the average crazyass evangelical uniform is dockers and blue oxford shirts. They blend into white bread america. Like serial killers.

Very unassuming.

It doesn't make sense to wear assless chaps out in public, really. It's difficult to explain.

And aesthetically speaking, plus sized dockers aren't as bad an assault on the eyes as plus sized assless chaps.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Yeah, but -- having experienced both subcultures, *thoroughly* -- only one of them is any fun.
