women are absolutely equal to men in their ability to go nutso, should they so choose to. While we probably should be aware that the fringes in all areas are out there, it's debatable just how seriously we should take them.

Just a quick peek around there and in the "intercourse" section (there's always gotta be an "intercourse" section) there's the obligatory Dworkin mention with...

"...and i have had some commenters here that advanced individualist arguments, when it came to PIV. “i like it, so i am going to continue to do it.” and thats a tough nut to crack. i mean really. i ”like it” too, under the right circumstances. i never said i didnt."

Sure is a tough nut to crack. Then, I stopped reading in the next paragraph when she said she just figured out that women aren't simply castrated men.

Huh? Just figured that out? Well, OK, maybe. if you started with the idea that we're identical except for the reproductive organs.

Anyway, there are plenty of people out there exercising free speech telling us that women are a lower sub-species, African Americans and Asians are inferior (or Causasions are the Devil) homosexuals are deviants, and every other sort of bigotry imaginable, so this just falls into the category of "OMG, when are we going to evolve out of this paleolithic mentality?"
