Yeah! So obviously she needs to marry somebody who ALREADY shares those feelings because LAZY!

In our next episode, Alice explains why evangelism is so important!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, obviously everyone would draw the line somewhere, that's the whole point of the thread. Alice is getting the abuse she's getting not because she's drawn a line, but because the line basically only extends as far as she can reach without having to get up. Saying "Oh, you guys wouldn't date transsexual Branch Davidian trapeze artists, so you're all hypocrites!" kind of misses the point. Our "exclude" lists are collectively about as small as Alice's "include" list, which is why it's all so alarming to us.

She's entitled to her own preferences, obviously, but she knows by now what kind of shit will be flung at her for it and she goes and defends it anyway. It's all a bit masochistic. But she's from the past, and maybe banging your head against the wall was popular then! Along with sock-hops and doing the twist!

There's nowhere I can't reach.
