yes you are a cynic..., i was refering to the generational cycle that modern
femminism, and for that matter the popularity and percieved relalance of
most poitical or social movments seems to go in, ..late 1870s, 1890, 1930s,
late 1940's, 1970s, ealry 1990s.. i guess in mainstream clulture we are
haing an 80's revival at the moment, so i give it about 5 more years till
its theoretically and socially popular again..

wot.. your girlfriends lacked fertile imaginations?  perhaps they suffer
from hatred of their own bodies if they interpret cunt as a nasty thing and
a derogratory term?..  i was hearing some young african american tourists
yell "hey nigga" at each other the other day and i didnt think any more
about it except that i couldt really yell "hey nigga" at them...
