funny consequence of my feminism:

drop the women from "women and children" in war time. it is, anyway, a patently bogus and mortal underestimation of women, who are just as homicidal as they want to be. as far as kids are concerned, i've still got some hope for the world. i mean, really. if there's really an 8 year old who really wants to kill me, that's reason enough for me to die as far as i'm concerned.

but new horizons beckon, remember that scene in full metal jacket? we'll be mowing down crack armies of teenyboppers before too long. the world is too sad.
