And it remi...Oh what a post! What a glorious post!<br /><br />And it reminds me of all the lost and untold stories of women like this. And how glad I am that I was born in a time when their stories can be told. From the strange seduction of Sugar, in The Crimson Petal and the White, to the passion and deductive reasoning of Gellis' 12th century prostitute Magdalene La Batarde, to the fallen angel turned vamipric demon of the Mary Magdalen in Wilson's 'This is my Blood'. <br /><br />There is so much to learn from the bad girls, and we have wasted so much time already.Remittance Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07902713020074243375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-8028235819881988252011-06-18T12:30:51.398-04:002011-06-18T12:30:51.398-04:00Thank you, all!

I wrote on this subject a few years ago, in a piece called "The Myth of the Bad Girl" (in which I dispute the then-current idea that "bad girls" were chic & popular and point out that "bad girl" really means anything the user wants it to mean). I don't think that piece can be found on the 'net any more, but if you want to see it, just ask & I can send it to you privately. I love this blog. :)Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-22545108473500112352011-06-17T14:25:25.791-04:002011-06-17T14:25:25.791-04:00I love this piece!

So they try to convince us that we don't like/need sex, and if that fails and we do like it, we are dirty and nasty. Then they dress us up to please themselves, in uncomfortable clothing that pinches and pulls at our soft flesh, then after they are done having their way with us, they revile us for being sexually attractive, when they told us how to dress! <br />Gosh darn it, if their hard cocks didn't feel so damn good, we'd overthrow the whole bunch of them!Fiona McGierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495707848048468428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-19227759329960370762011-06-16T21:47:01.606-04:002011-06-16T21:47:01.606-04:00Thank you Jean.

We had a bad name in this world long before I came into it."<br /><br />I'm not sure you would inspire sympathy in some readers. But you certainly generate a healthy respect!Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.com
