The difference is, we became adults.<br /><br /><br />Or at least that was my experience. I was quite the shit as a youngster (as opposed to the cranky old bitch I am today). I remember in school thinking that the kids who struggled just weren't trying, because all that shit was easy. You just listened and did the work and that was all it took. Or perhaps that's just one of the Asperbergian traits of my personality; YMMV. In any case, I don't remember how old I was when it finally occurred to me that I had shit really easy compared to a lot of folks. Certainly older than I should have been, something like early to mid-20s. But the point is, I did get there.

These stereotypes seem to be built of equal parts gross jokes they heard in jr. high, wishful thinking, extreme porn they watched for research purposes (Honest honey. Honey?) and a desire to scare people into thinking they'll be gay sexed to death if they don't look out. <br /><br />I don't carefully track everything that falls out of these bozoids' mouths, but rarely do you hear people yelping about the perils of lesbian sex. <br /><br />I assume it is because they don't view women as being interested in sex unless forced to by a man, or women aren't seen as a physical threat.Shakezulanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-56190749324586517082014-04-06T09:47:44.233-04:002014-04-06T09:47:44.233-04:00Yes, he as a little power to form public opinion a...Yes, he as a little power to form public opinion and some liberals think he can be useful in advancing liberal goals. But as you note the main cause that Sullivan cares about is Andrew Sullivan. Like Ayn Rand he grew up thinking that being clever meant he was innately superior. <br /><br />It makes absolutely no sense for Sullivan to fight for equality yet insist that nobody should be forced by law to treat others equally until we remember that he does not believe all people are equal. He wants to treat others as lesser people while forcing them to acknowledge he is not a lesser person. <br /><br />So this pathetic little person would rest smugly knowing that everyone without his personal power would suffer if the laws did not enforce equality while he could just make a big noisy fuss to be treated as an equal. Just as Megan McArdle said that if an insurance company refused to cover a claim you could just call them up and yell at the. She could pull a "do you know who I am?" But nobody else could.
