As long as I'm pissed...

Let's get this clear. If I hear one more time that a woman cannot write a man, a gay man, a straight man, a gun-toting man, a young man, or a cane-using gray-haired doddering old man -- and all criticisms often said by a MAN -- I'm going to go fucking ballistic. I'm warning you, people, I'm a donkey on the edge. I have a temper and I'm past the point of being afraid to use it!

( Look, it's bullshit. Plain and simple. )

And in case you're wondering, this goes just as much for me, too. If we can't write, we might as well go back to washing dishes and refilling coffee cups.
