my nomination for the year's best damn rant

So you've probably heard about the Alabama proposal to ban all books by, and/or about, homosexuals. That's what prompted this rant by Hal Duncan on the Homosexual Agenda, over at Notes from the Geek Show. Read it. It's snarling and frothing and all the things a good rant should be, directed at the author of the Alabama bill and his cronies who let the bill die through abstaining, not through standing up and saying it wasn't acceptable.

Because we will not just stand against you, Gerald Fuckwit Allen. We will not just draw “a line in the sand”, batten down the hatches and defend our way of life in craven terror, bigotry and paranoia as you do. No, we will hunt you down and take the fight right to your fucking doorstep. We will unleash the full force of our fury in a hissy fit the like of which you've never seen. Handbags at dawn, Gerald Fuckwit Allen. We challenge you. We call you out, if you’re man enough to face us. Don’t worry. We don’t want to fuck your scrawny ass. We just want to kick it into next year.

Understanding the male psyche when it comes to sex... OMG, I've just about died laughing. Storytelling had a link to a series of little essays on Sex in the Romance: A Review of Romantic Encounters of the Close Kind. The guy is absolutely hysterical, and so enlightening about the minds of guys!

For the female, the perceived start may be a subtle glance from her mate, or a passing kiss, even a gentle touch. Her perception of the end is possibly when her mate moves from her. For the male, it starts with penetration and ends with his orgasm. This is not to say that he stops at this point, but until then it's sex. Afterward, it's a challenge. ... So, if the subject of duration ever comes up in the locker room or on the golf course, when everyone else is bragging five minutes, ten minutes, even fifteen minutes, you can confidently, through female perspective, throw out "an hour and a half" and back it up with a note from home.
