I look more rad than Lutheranism

A nice piece on that Northwestern Human Sexuality course, from someone who took it a few years ago: [link]

That was well-said.

I don't have penis envy

I totally don't get penis envy. It seems to me that the only penis envy that happens is dudes who wish theirs were bigger, and that need is now being met by spam.

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

I've come to the conclusion that dealing with 4-year-olds carries many of the same pitfalls as dealing with cats and dogs; just like with my pets, I keep making the fatal mistake of anthropomorphizing - I receive some kind of feedback and erroneously attribute it to a recognizably human emotion. With a 4-year-old, just as with a cat or dog, this is almost always 100% completely wrong.

Bwahahahaha! Oh, this is so true.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, when I learned about penis envy in class, I thought it totally did not make sense. Then I learned about castration anxiety and the Electra complex, which makes even less sense IMHO.

And I honest to god thought, "But a penis made of spam would be so floppy and icky."

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeesh, people, it is seriously Weatherpocalypsing out there. The wind is INSANE and there were bush sized tumbleweeds flying across the highway 40 mph at head height. Multiple tumbleweeds. The SO took video; I`ll link if he puts it up.
 
And then I got home and wrangled with the trash can and it was HAILING on me! At 50 degrees. It is ridic out there, I tell you what.

I dunno, I envy many things about having a penis. Or, OK, mostly just one thing--peeing standing up.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I am standing here watching the trashcan rock back and forth. The truck is going around the cul de sac and I still think it`s going to tip before it gets here.

That is pretty cool. As is the ability to put out small fires.

Peeing standing up would rock. But getting it caught in zippers . . . I had a friend in college who was late for dinner once because he spent fifteen minutes knowing he was just going to have to yank the zipper back down real fast to free himself.

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

You don't need a penis to pee standing up. It just makes not getting it down your leg easier.

Yeah, that tag, totally closes.

Doctor's office, call in the refill! Stop telling me you have, when you haven't!
