She was in a pub quiz and as she had my number, she called me up to ask.

A feminist pub quiz, desperate times, difficult measures. She told me she didn’t like me despite being given the correct answer.

She left that bit to the end.

It’s impossible to not want sex! Just like chocolate cake!’ is…not untempting.
I find his comments…provocative…saying misogynist arsehole things in public, tut, these BNP men, what do they expect?

Indeed – the thought of literally, ahem, doing that with BNP members makes me want to vomit.

(Iirc, Naomi Wolf makes this point very well in ‘The Beauty Myth’).

Oh and fuck the BNP.

Force feeding a person food or water until they rupture and die of it is an ancient torture practice.

So is rape, or as they ever so delicately put it the things that “sex criminals” do.
Torture is what they do.

That’s how it came across to me.

Do you think she actually talks like that? Or did she do the stupid air quote signs and the interviewer just wrote it down like that?
