Hell yes I want and Megan and Danielle can make all the fun of me they like because I will have one.
I'm so not mocking either. They look pretty.
But come on, the name is ripe for a couple of days of it. Then I'll grow up and get over it.

Megan, I genuflect in your direction. I actually guffawed. :)
Given the crap we've been talking about elsewhere, I am humbly pleased to have made you smile. :)

Heh. Still, you'd want to use an iPad overnight, surely? More reliable.
So, if you're on the XT network, and your coverage keeps dropping out, will that be iSpotting?
(sorry boys. But try the veal.)

Also? I think they should do an ultra-thin version called the iLiner
My favourite I've seen so far is: "Meh. I'll wait until they release an iMoonCup."

And for people like Megan and Danielle and Jackie and I, it's become about supporting each other. (That doesn't mean we agree about everything, or shut up when we don't agree, or any of those hive-mind things.) I know that if someone says something I find really hurtful, and it upsets me to a point where I can't reply, I feel better when I see someone else speak up.
Oh, I'm way to scared of Emma to ever disagree with her.
But seriously, when I went and had my afternoon in the sun yesterday, I left knowing that one of the ladies would still be here fighting the good fight.
And then I went and called my mother and had a fight with her about it.

"rather irritable and gradually losing her patience at having to state the obvious to the wilfully obtuse".
Thank you Craig, for articulating what I couldn't.
It's true, you wouldn't like me when i'm angry.

It seems a bit remiss to me that this has got to page six and no one, that I can see, has linked to the support services in case a reader needs some genuine help, instead of this indiscriminant blather.
The man (?) makes a point.
Which is why I drafted that comment three times before posting it, because I couldn't decide if I could be bothered continuing to go around in circles. Turns out I was too annoyed not to.

Since we are doing hypotheticals suppose a young lady lived in rural 1940s Alabama and she confided to her best friend that she had a fantasy of a fling with a black man. (We all know the narrative don't we, but lets continue anyway.) One day the local drunk stumbles upon the same young lady and a black man who she screams is raping her.
Angus. First of all we don't live in 1940's rural Alabama. We're lucky enough to live in 2010, where women have rights, and you know, feelings and things.
Me, though I'd identify other outcomes as being more important. And I'd dare to suggest if the young lady lies about the fantasy, she might be lying about other aspects to the case.
Exactly what outcomes? Throughout your story, you refer to him as the rapist. You say 'he saves her from rape'. So I can only assume in your hypothetical, that a rape did actually take place? Then what other outcomes could you possibly want to see than a trial and a guilty verdict?
I don't know if you realise it, but you sound like an apologist for rapists. And not for the first time on PAS.
And I'd dare to suggest if the young lady lies about the fantasy, she might be lying about other aspects to the case.
Of course. Because she's a dirty lying whore.
I don't know how many times we have to say it, or how loudly, but talking about something you might, hypothetically, want to do doesn't give people license to do whatever the hell they like to you.
I discussed with a friend last night (on the internet, too) that I have too much stuff (and far too many shoes) and I would like to get rid of some of it. So if someone breaks into my house today, and steals all my stuff, does that mean that I'm responsible? Am I required to inform the police that I fantasised about 'downsizing'?
And if I don't, am I a liar?

I had a wee skim. Many points on the MRA bingo card. 'Women want equal rights but not equal responsibilities' is like a mantra to those douches.
Do you know what? I give up. I can't read something like that and not punch my computer screen. And I didn't even get to the comments.
Here in Wellington, the sun is shining, the sky is blue. So I am going to take what faith I have left in the human race, and go for a swim.
Emma, Danielle, Jackie et al. You guys are awesome, and are pretty much the reason I have any faith left.

The second anyone withdraws consent or is rendered unable to give consent then sex stops or it is rape.
Word. And that column is all kinds of offensive.
