You've either got to fit it in your pockets or go straight to a backpack. If you want to carry a glasses case, a book, a water bottle, anything at that level--what do you do? Carry a briefcase everywhere? If we don't at least keep up our respect for the "messenger bag" and "satchel" as manly masculine grrr, there's going to be knapsacks and suitcases on every damn subway seat.</i><br /><br />I have a messenger bag. I can put it on whichever side of me has room (on my lap on the subway, on my side when I'm walking to the right of directly in front on a crowded train or elevator, etc.) and easily reach into it without taking it off or, in some cases, breaking stride. My father never liked it, at least when he didn't fully accept my sexuality (straight, cis, and no need to prove it). Whatever, fuck the haters.<br /><br />My current one was a present from my girlfriend, years ago. If the bag (or the relationship) falls apart before civilization does, the next one will be from the Army/Navy store on West 8th.<br />* * *<br /><i>There is also a good possibility of just waking the girl up for some midnight fun, but some of us are bears and like to rip off faces when woken up.

For several of the "milder-though-still-indicative-of-troubling-stuff" examples you gave in your posts on the topic, I personally would have probably used something along the lines of "dysfunctional sexuality/gender culture" instead.*<br /><br />But for something like this - heck, what <b>other</b> word than "rape culture" could possibly be used to describe it?! FFS, the entire point of that story is "how <b>dare</b> she not want sex when <b>I</b> want it"!<br /><br />And the choice of words makes it so, so much worse. It would have been bad enough had he written something like "but ugh, she was asleep and not putting out!" or "I tried waking her up, but she said she was tired and not in the mood", but no - it's "<i>that was when her legs became a closed vice</i>".** That makes it sound as if he has <i>actually tried physically prying her legs apart</i>. And more, it kinda implies that, if he'd only managed to actually wrench them apart, he would have gotten what he wanted and not have to undergo the awful ordeal of not getting his "uncontrollable craving" satisfied "right now". Yes, I realize "closed vice" was probably only meant as a poetic metaphor, but what a metaphor to choose. Made me shudder to read it, seriously.<br /><br />Honestly, that may be the worst I'd heard from Cosmo yet, and that's saying something.<br /><br /><br />*Please note that this is in <i>no way</i> meant as a criticism of your choice to use the term! I understand the strategic importance of using provocative, non-fudging terms and it's a very valid approach. I am just pointing out my own very narrow use of the term, not trying to imply anything about your use of it.<br /><br />**Also, I'm not a native speaker, but isn't it "closed vise"?
