But bad sex might make you mean.

I also think that there are a lot of people who grew up with distorted/mangled/shame-filled/painful/authoritarian notions of their personal sexuality, and they are working it out. The perverted churches add to people's negative experiences with sex.

"Sex is the most vile, filthy, disgusting sin imaginable and you should save it for someone you love."

I'm thinking more of women in a sense of having a negative view of sex, but men too have sexual hangups that interfere with their interpretations of others' and their own sexuality. And those hangups can be frightful, especially because sex can have such life-altering consequences, adding an element of risk to an already frightening endeavor.

Patience is a good thing.

And also, don't try to tell me there is no Patriarchal Conspiracy. ( tm here ) You might not be in on it, just like you're not having dinner with the Rmoneys and the Kochs, but that dinner is still taking place.

When legislators are regulating the female body to the degree that they are, no sane person can say that these assaults on women's rights are not inspired by an entrenched Patriarchy (sorry, dunno how to make the tm sign on this kb) in legislatures all over this nation.

These laws are fucking scary. Anyone with daughters should pay attention.
