Didja miss the phrase about the BobbitKnife and the one about the XY Jeans, or are you
once again being intentionally obtuse? I guess, like everything else in your "I'm
okay but no one else is" world, it's only okay when you do it.

Men Get Hard-ons. Deal with it. Did I direct my metaphorical tumescence at anyone,
or is the simple mention of the existence of male sexual arousal repugnant to you (not
that there's anything wrong with that...)?

The word is "pacify." I have the distinct feeling that you would chew a pacifier to
shreds.

So now we're building ourselves a straw rapist are we? Only a slight and easily

Let me make this plain: I only make love with women I respect, and who wish me to. I
wouldn't screw you with my worst enemy's dick, not because of what your complexion
might be, but because of the disturbed persona you have manifested on this list.

You are one sick lady; you know that? You are stalked by your own phantoms.

Your insane, humorless and vicious paranoia, on the other hand, are impossible to
overestimate.

You imbecilic idiot! Ginger Spice made the original "patriarchy rearing its ugly
head" remark, not you, and the title was a literary reference to the T. S. Eliot poem
"Sweeny Erect." You're like Marsha on The Brady Bunch; everything has to be about you!

Does anyone else on this list think Nicole could do with a good antipsychotic?

Yes, I have, and you still refuse to see it due to your own self-imposed blinders.
Your problem, not mine. I refuse to let you dictate to me who I am and what I mean.

It's a simple math computation to compute your "philosophy" (in quotes so as not to
tarnish the word); hate + humorlessness + paranoia + megalomania = Nicole.
