It's a shame that people don't communicate with each other and waste each other's time for months because we are embarrassed to tell each other what we really are. IA, that sucks.

But I have to say I think you dodged a bullet. Anyone who plays "Christian funk" in a church, unless it's Jesus Christ himself, is probably a delusional psychopath who also just so happens to be full of complete bullshit.

Yeah, Mr. Christian Funkadelic, don't you understand risking STDs and unwanted pregnancy is a rite of passage when dating in Portland? Jeez, what were you thinking, that you might respect a woman and wait till you're fully committed to her before engaging in sexual congress? Next thing you know, you'll want to change the diapers of any children you two have, be faithful to her, treat her with respect and take care of her in her old age! That is so NOT being "woke"!

Wow, #2. If you think sex and respect are mutually exclusive, you really know very little about either.

If, after only three months of dating, a woman wants to have sex, then she obviously must have STDs and/or be too stupid to manage birth control, which is really the same thing as being "woke" in Portland. Celibate actually means waiting for the magic words to unlock the amazing gift of intimacy, which was intended exclusively for the purposes of procreation and lifetime pair bonding. I know all this now, thanks to the Wizard of Patriarchy and Asshattery!

Hey No.'s 3 and 4, please look up the word "Strawman," er, "Strawperson" as in "Strawman argument." Nah, let's go with Strawman, it's got a nice patriarchal tone to it ...

Defining STDs and unwanted pregnancy as the opposite of celibacy is pretty twisted and completely unrelated to IA's rant.

Kendrick Lamar is pretty popular. Everyone loves Damn. I love it. But, sorry, I'm already taken and I love sex.

Yes, let's say strawMAN, so you'll be sure to include a penis, which serves as an excellent fuse for lighting it and burning the fucker to the ground.

Dearest eprophet -- Uh, so you just refuted yourself, you realize? Good grief. BTW Dollar Tree has specials on lighters, they only cost a dollar.
