We Can’t Be Equal While:
Gender Roles
Men are the default and women are the Other (and therefore lesser).
Being called “girly” or a “sissy” or “pussy” are some of the worst insults you can give a man.
When a woman shows confidence in herself, she is said to “have balls”, or conversely she is a “man-eater”, “ball-buster”, or a “bitch” because she was “too” assertive.
Men are beat up,...
Christmas Presents
So presents are materialistic and consumer culture is wasteful and bad and so on and so forth…
But there are three things I received for Christmas this year that just make me feel so happy and understood and loved. They are:
1. C gave me a bracelet made out of a novelty brothel token. It is one of the most delightful and personal pieces of jewelry I’ve been given.
2. My mom gave...

Christmas Eve
I can’t stop thinking about Christmas Eve three years ago.
It was the first Christmas C and I were together. I was working at Macy’s, 50-55 hours a week, at the bridge jewelry counter, selling sterling silver and tiny gem stones to high school boys for their moms and girlfriends, hearing the same Christmas carols over and over for sometimes twelve hours a day. Earlier in the week, I...
downrightdebonaire asked: What is the weirdest thing you ever thought of while having sex or masturbating, to get off? Not kinky but something that made you think "What the fuck am I thinking about that for?"

Sick
What I didn’t expect about this depression is how much it feels like being literally, physically sick. It’s like having a really bad cold, or like when I had bronchitis and coughed so hard I cracked two ribs—I want to feel better, I want to do things, but my body doesn’t seem to be on board. I want to go out and see people, I want to get errands done, I want to feel...
“I’m a promoter of masturbation. Don’t sleep around – learn yourself first! Guys...”
– Taylor Momsen (via britisshameless)
I would argue that sex isn’t necessarily “giving yourself away” and that viewing sex that way is kind of in conflict with saying it’s part of human nature and not something to be afraid of…but I also know it’s hard to get rid...

2. Age Play
Much like how Sylvia is one giant puppy play scene from start to finish, pretty much all the interactions between Little Sally and Officer Lockstock in Urinetown are a series of age play scenes.
Little Sally is a little girl character written in to this musical who is always played by an adult woman. We did Urinetown as our mainstage musical my last semester of college. As Little...

1. Puppy Play
If you’re not familiar with A.R. Gurney’s Sylvia, it is best summarized by saying it’s about the complicated relationship between a man, his wife, and the dog that comes between them. The dog is played by an actress—Sarah Jessica Parker originated the role, it was written for her.
I played the title role in Sylvia the Spring after I graduated from college. ...
The Weirdest Gender Norm Thing Ever
So C, my wonderful boyfriend, was a vegetarian growing up. He eats meat now, but for a really long time he didn’t. He really likes veggies and tofu and things like that and will often order a veggie wrap or grilled vegetable sandwich when we go out to eat. He did this last night, in fact.
I, on the other hand, am a complete junk food junkie. I crave burgers and fries and bacon and other...
