What the hell is a Moss drag? A green cocktail dress with a 54 chest?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

And a baritone speaking voice?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What is it this time, ita? Megan Fox?
Megan Fox was only the start of my confusion. Now everyone's patting Eva Mendes on the back for how progressive she is for saying she likes to belong to a man. But I bet if a man said he liked to have a woman belong to him, he'd be vilified. Even if that made him Eva's perfect match.

Everyone? I'm seeing a fair amount of dissent in the comments, or at least questioning her semantics.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That must have started after I stopped reading. As far as I got, it was all "props to her" with some "maybe I wouldn't have said it *that* way, but still...brave of her to say it." I got bored.
But I've never got Eva Mendes anyway. I think she's a crap actress and not that pretty, so there's not that much I'm going to read about her.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think she looks lovely, but that quote was...what was that? I (usually) really love being married to Jon, but I don't think I would even off-handedly refer to our relationship as one where "belonging" would enter into it. I just don't see it that way.
Though I guess we do have strange ownership language when it comes to personal relationships. It's all MY wife, and a friend of MINE, and we HAVE a mom.

I don't think that is strange at all. I mean, one wants to distinguish this wife from someone else's wife--wife is a relationship, after all, as is friend and mother.
Woman? Not so much. I might want to be someone's wife or girlfriend, but I can't imagine ever being someone's woman. That's just weird.

It seems like it's describing owning the person is all, not the relationship. Mother conjures an image of a female person.
I'm not really advocating/protesting anything here. Just noting something I find itchy when describing relationships, because yeah, Jon doesn't even jokingly refer to me as his woman.
