Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

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 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.

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

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

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

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

Yay! I was waiting for an opportunity to watch Kidnapped.

I'll spare you my rant on how "dominatrix" clothing is inevitably the product of the man's fantasy. Because, dude, if *I'm* the one in charge in this situation, I'm going to wear something that allows for actual freedom of movement, which won't give me heatstroke when I start aerobically beating you.

I just thought I'd share with everyone that the first place I heard of two girls one cup was the students in my last period class.

It's a whole new world...
