It's not like it's illegal now.
BUT SOMEONE MIGHT JUDGE THEM! ON THE *INTERNET*!!!
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Now tagless for your comfort.
Um... those countless women are still perfectly free to find a partner who would facilitate that life. It's not like it's illegal now.
Hee. I have. And you don't see me baking no fucking cake.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was hoping the comments would go "Um, what?", but sadly no.
I admit I stopped reading when the first comment didn't call out the execrable bullshit, but seriously...they're all on that page? I did go as far as checking what the website was about, and it didn't seem to be an -ism apologist forum inherently. How bizarre. t /OMC

I could deal with the idealism that's being presented, if it weren't for the assumption that full-figured women can't be accepted if they're not at home Bakin' for Their Man.

I couldn't deal with the idealism, because they're not telling the truth. And also, cavalierly ignoring the other legislated shit other minorities had to deal with.

I kept waiting for some clue that they were being ironic, but it never came.

Nevermind then.

The pictures were great, it's the website's fault for mixing unmixy things.

OMG, I clicked on another random thread (okay, not that random--it's titled Deadliest Warrior, and that show is a bastion of male posturing and macho bullshittery, so I needed to know), and there was this:
In the nobler eras of the past--which many of the Deadliest Warrior episodes revisit--martial traditions went hand in hand with cultural refinement. After all, the art of war and the arts of music, literature, and visual expression were all characteristic of the nobility. The aristocratic classes were the warrior classes. That is how the aristocracy came to be--it consisted of the knights who defended the lands and the peoples from foreign invaders.
Ah, how I miss the Middle Ages. Good times, good times!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
And also, cavalierly ignoring the other legislated shit other minorities had to deal with.
Yeah, that was the part that pissed me off the most. Really? The 50s were so uniformly awesome? Everyone was just happy all the time? Can you at least admit that you're really only talking about well-off white people (and vastly oversimplifying and idealizing, even then)??
