Sigh. Ok, I'll do it.

Works for me. Let me know if you need a Minister of Pith and Sarcasm.

If I can change the title to Minister of Pith and Vinegar, you've got yourself a deal.
Kilgore Trout

See, that's why you're in charge.

Your primary duty will be bringing me a coffee. I've got to go teach in half an hour and I'm hungover.

I'll get you the coffee, Alceste. Half an hour ain't near enough time for an orgasm.

That depends on the girl and the technique.
Wait a minute, why am I doing Kilgore Trout's job?
Maybe it's the anticipation of Alceste's pleasure?

Because you feel a strong compulsion to do things for me. You are feeling very relaxed...and drowsy. You want to please Kilgore. On the count of three you'll wake up and won't remember anything I said.

You got concerned about Alceste's sex life

It depends what you've got in your toolkit.
Doesn't work though, I've just discovered, so thanks for the coffee!

I was thinking the other day, why have I found it so hard to support patriarchy and so easy to support women's rights? Because in my life, patriarchy has been just as much a liability as an asset, if not more so. I never could fit into the mold of aggressive, ruggedly individualistic, damn the environment, eat burgers and not veggies, treat women as inferior, etc. mindset that traditional masculinity calls for. The way I see it, there's nothing wrong with straights supporting gay rights, so why should it be so unusual for men to support women's rights?

Is it unusual?
In the States, it sure seems that way.

Why do you say this? Can you give me examples you have seen?

Consider how many straight allies you see at LGBT rallies. Now consider how many men are at women's rights rallies. They're there, but by far they're in the minority.
As for examples, one time I volunteered at a display booth for a women's reproductive rights group. When they first heard my interest in doing so, the initial response was basically, holy crap, a man wants to be a part of this!
