Wow, this is a phenomenal bit of fail.

Women are not passionate enough about sex and concentrate too much on feelings to be able to write raunchy stories, the new owner of Britain's Erotic Review said on Monday.

Okay, after I stopped laughing hysterically, I noticed this is a WOMAN saying this.

How freaking stupid and out-of-touch with the writing community and women in general do you have to be to not know what a profound load of crap that is?

Oh, oh, my favorite bit:

"It's almost like writing about food ... Ladies who lunch, should not really write about food because they don't really love food. They don't salivate at the thought of a great steak."

Speak for yourself, you twit. My last meal's going to be a damn steak. Blood rare. Just bring a cow into the kitchen and let it look at the oven in horror.

And now I want a steak. Fuuuuuuck.

Okay, that really really is super-ridiculous. What about, eh, the entire romance genre? That shit ain't exactly all delicate-flowers-petals and rosy cheeks either. I mean, a lot of it IS, but a lot of it ISN'T, too. 8|||

Aw, man. I don't know where it is, but there's a feministing or pandagon post somewhere about that ridiculous brand of sparkling chocolate advertising itself as a "naughty" pleasure, and the post talks about how these basic human pleasures like eating and having sex are culturally linked, in that they are denied for women to fully enjoy, that the western culture says women have to be naughty or bad to have the audacity to ENJOY them. Yup, women have to find enjoying eating and enjoying sex (as opposed to doing it only healthily/out of obligation) as GUILTY INDULGENCES, YOU NASTY GIRL YOU, LIKING CHEAP CHOCOLATE AND MISSIONARY-POSITION SEX.

>.>>>>> Fuck, society really does hate and dehumanize women. YOU'RE NOT HUMAN LIKE MEN, ONLY HUMANZ LIKE MEN SHOULD ENJOY THE FULL CAPACITIES OF THEIR BODIES. NOW PUT DOWN THAT CHOCOLATE CAKE YOU JUST BAKED IN YOUR KITCHEN FOR YOURSELF AND GIVE IT TO THE MENZ INSTEAD. THEY NEED IT MORE THAN YOU, YOU HEATHEN EVE-EVIL WOMAN, AND YOU DON'T DESERVE TO ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS MEN. OH, AND ALSO, THEY NEED SEX NOW TOO, SO GO LIE DOWN AND THINK OF ENGLAND NOW, BECAUSE MEN HAVE NEEEDS THAT ARE GREATER THAN YOURS AND YOUR ENJOYMENT.

Uh, now I've disgusted myself.
