Hi,
I’d like to get serious for a moment. If you’re looking for fun and whimsy, this post isn’t for you.
We spend a great deal of time on this site objectifying and sexually embarrassing female characters, and I think we all understand these are purely fantasies, and they must NEVER find traction in reality. Having sexual fantasies is, I believe, perfectly natural and fine, and so long as you treat women as respected equals in all aspects of your life, it’s just naughty stuff that goes on in your head. Nobody cares (or should care).
But there are people out there who do terrible things to women, and specifically some who mutilate their genitalia for cultural, social or religious reasons. (And certainly, I find male circumcision to be as repugnant a practice as female genitalia mutilation, but far less damaging–anyway, I digress.) I’d like to direct your attention to the Orchid Project website. Their mission is to fight this practice everywhere in the world, and I feel a certain moral obligation to direct you to it.
Maybe you’ll feel like supporting it, maybe you won’t… But at least you’ll know it’s out there.

Thanks for putting this out there and mentioning difference in fantasy and reality.

Thank you.
I’m pretty sure we all understand that difference, but it never hurts to repeat it, once in a while…

Hot damn. You’re going to get some grief for this post, but BRA-FREAKING-VO.

Thanks.
Haven’t gotten any grief so far, and honestly, I really don’t think I will. I’d be shocked if anyone who comes to this site would get upset about anyone supporting the Orchid Project, or talking about it here.
