I live between worlds. Half the time I like doing housework, I care a lot about how I look, I warm up to men and flirt beautifully (I mean I really admire them, though I'd die before I took the initiative; that's men's business), I don't press my point in conversations, and I enjoy cooking. I like to do things for other people, especially male people. I sleep well, wake up on the dot, and don't dream. There's only one thing wrong with me:
I'm frigid.
In my other incarnation I live out such a plethora of conflict that you wouldn't think I'd survive, would you, but I do; I wake up enraged, I go to sleep in numbed despair, face what I know perfectly well is condescension and abstract contempt, get into quarrels, shout, fret about people I don't even know, live as i I were the only woman in the world trying to buck it all, work like a pig, strew my whole apartment with notes, articles, manuscripts, books, get frowsty, don't care, become stridently contentious, sometimes laugh and weep within five minutes together out of pure frustration. It takes me two hours to get to sleep and an hour to wake up. I dream at my desk. I dream all over the place. I'm very badly dressed.
But O how I relish my victuals! And O how I fuck!
—Joanna Russ, The Female Man

forever fascinated with feminist imaginations in joanna russ' the female man. on whileaway, the earth-women who visit ask where the men are, and the earth-men who visit ask where the women are; on whileaway, gender is no longer a useful category of description or distinction. in stark contrast, the world of woman-land and man-land is at war with one another, territories are divided, and each side has invented a caricature of the other, with no hope of reconciliation in sight. having described and interwoven several feminist imaginations in separate universes, russ tells her little book, i hope you become utterly outdated one day, that you're lost and forgotten, a dusty tome at the end of a bookshelf lost to time, till then, hang in there.

SIMON IS PRACTICALLY FERAL FOR YOU
Wherever you go, this man is next to you, one hand always touching you.
You’re showering? Ok so is he. It’s not his fault you’re pushed up against the glass, ass flushed against him as he pounds into you from behind, hands clawing at your flesh as he grunts.
You’re watching a movie? This man is lying flat on you, groping at your tits before he takes them in his mouth. He has a hard time concentrating and he promises this helps him.
You’re working from home? Let him help you. And by help he means, cock-warm him while you work and every time you complete a task he’ll fuck up into you as a reward!
You’re going to bed. You already know he’s fucking you to sleep, eating your gushing pussy before he’s denting your gummy walls with the outline of his cock, fucking against your sweet spot as you make a mess of the sheets, desperate pussy clenching around him as he fills you up.
“This pussy’s always ready for me, I fuckin’ love you, sweet’art.”
