		<description><![CDATA[With both the crack and sex trafficking panic, there is this pervasive undercurrent of fear of the other, fear of nonwhite and poor people, fear of them infiltrating us and ruining everything &quot;we&quot; built. The crack epidemic was about fear of poor, urban Blacks and Latinos, mostly young men who might be in scary gangs. The sex trafficking epidemic, when not about stealing your children for sexual slavery, has the more subtle racial component of a fear of migrant workers sneaking into &quot;our&quot; country and doing morally distasteful things with our husbands, our dads, our brothers, corrupting us, tearing at our family values, and making us impure by association.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Krulac, I&#039;m curious: do you think the relationships I defend need defending?  Also, you asked me a few questions on here a while back.  I&#039;ve bookmarked those to answer before I quit posting here.  Thanks for your patience.  I make the effort to answer older things as I can but then see newer things that get me riled up, etc., so want to answer those before I forget...lol.  Speaking about the relationships I defend, this is 1 of my new &quot;causes&quot;.  Since I&#039;ve fully &quot;come out&quot; as what I call a &quot;wild woman&quot; I&#039;ve starting reading up on that online and have been totally disgusted/angered by some of the ###*** I&#039;ve found.  It&#039;s the same pattern I&#039;ve found with my other &quot;causes&quot;: education is needed badly with certain things.  I&#039;ve reached people with my work with other things so hope to accomplish the same with this 1.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have yet something else in common, Maggie: Opium perfume. Grand-maman wore it and it&#039;s one of the ones I started wearing as an adult because it reminds me of her. :) 

I thoroughly enjoyed both of those articles by Kuhle. The alphabet soup deters more allies than it attracts, unbeknownst to that crowd who&#039;d rather turn around and call intimidated allies &quot;homophobic&quot; or &quot;intolerant&quot; than understand that it isn&#039;t letters or terms that matter so much as &lt;i&gt;intent&lt;/i&gt;. And his article on feminism is right on the nose and reminds me a lot of Furry Girl&#039;s and Brooke&#039;s posts on why they each left feminism or stopped referring to themselves as such. Of course, the same feminists who give the movement a bad name and complain about women not identifying as feminists are the same ones who don&#039;t want to hear that they are the cause of that problem.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t think there is anything wrong with one-night stands - as long as the girl wants to do it and knows what she&#039;s getting into.

The problem is - when you meet a girl the first time, under the circumstances you normally meet them for &quot;one nighters&quot; - then you really have no clue as to whether the girl REALLY wants to or just thinks she wants to because she&#039;s hoping for some kind of &quot;bigger&quot; relationship.  As a stupid guy, you don&#039;t know and the reason you don&#039;t know - is because, often SHE doesn&#039;t even really know.

I just have a serious problem hurting a girl for any reason whatsoever - so I usually stayed away from &quot;one nighters&quot; unless the girl picked me up and was obvious as hell about doing so.  I won&#039;t lie and say this happened very often - it only happened three times. LOL  - once in a bar with a girl who said I was so drunk I should come home with her for safety (I had had one drink);  once with a female Sailor who pounded on my door and claimed she wanted to &quot;hide&quot; in my barracks room during a fire drill ... and, amazingly - almost the same circumstance when I was living in an apartment and a girl I knew claimed she had locked herself out of her apartment and could she stay with me?

Personally - I think guys come up with better pickup lines, and the ones we come up with suck quite hard.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&gt;&quot;Amy Poehler’s character finds redemption after the Fey character shows her how to be less “working class” and “trashy,” two inexorably linked traits in the Fey slambook.&quot;

I know it means something different in the UK where I was raised, but I&#039;m proudly working class. I come from a long line of working class people, people who got out there and supported themselves, who grew food, built things, repaired things, did business, not a bunch of nobs who sat on their asses collecting rents, and backstabbing each other.

My people dug the canals, laid the bricks, built and ran the railroads, made the mills go.  They, not the owners.

I&#039;m working class, and proud of it.

&gt;&quot;You could be the woman who cures cancer and you would still be up against some skank, rocking giant veiny fake boobs where the nipples point in different directions like an old Buick. Seth, the world has always been full of whores.&quot;.

But Tina Fey, you&#039;re not the woman who cures cancer. She&#039;s not on TV. You&#039;re an actress, a profession that not so many years ago was considered equal to mine. But you&#039;re wrong, the world isn&#039;t, and hasn&#039;t always been full of whores. In times past, whores were the independent women. Most women weren&#039;t like that, they hadn&#039;t the nerve. They bought into the line you&#039;re selling.]]></description>
