I’m too tipsy to keep writing (at least comfortably), but I’m not tired enough to go to sleep. And nothing good on TV, to lull me into a trance… :/

Why don’t I believe in God? No, no no, why do YOU believe in God? Surely the burden of proof is on the believer. You started all this. If I came up to you and said, “Why don’t you believe I can fly?” You’d say, “Why would I?” I’d reply, “Because it’s a matter of faith”. If I then said, “Prove I…

So yes, everyone and their pet knows that I am a feminist. A pretty vocal one to boot. Feminism informs my politics. It is deeply...
