Isn’t doing so just giving credence to the puritanical ideals that would claim that sex is an embarrassing thing which should be hidden behind closed doors, and that any woman who would ever _enjoy_ it, and admit to it by carrying sexual implements (or contraceptives) around with them is a slut who deserves any kind of comments that can be thrown at her, and ought to just suck it up, because sluts aren’t worth anything better.**

Because, we all know women aren’t supposed to like sex. At least, decent women. Decent women close their eyes and think of England.

Only SLUTS like sex!

Every security checkpoint I went through before and after my vacation this week made me (and everyone else in line) remove any electrical/battery operated device from their baggage and fire it up. Dead or missing batteries weren’t excused - at least on the Canadian end - if the device couldn’t be charged, it was going to be confiscated before the flight. The only person this actually applied to in the end was some woman with shoe driers that were taking forever to charge - she was still having a protracted arguement with security staff about how this when everybody else was ready to board.
