More and More
by Margaret Atwood

More and more frequently the edges
of me dissolve and I become
a wish to assimilate the world, including
you, if possible through the skin
like a cool plant's tricks with oxygen
and live by a harmless green burning.

I would not consume
you or ever
finish, you would still be there as the air.

Unfortunately I don't have leaves.
Instead I have eyes
and teeth and other non-green
things which rule out osmosis.

So be careful, I mean it,
I give you fair warning:

This kind of hunger draws
everything into its own
space; nor can we
talk it all over, have a calm
rational discussion.

There is no reason for this, only
a starved dog's logic about bones.
leftlibertarian: hannah-in-wi: reallyfoxnews: Can we send this around again for good measure? From Fox News Health back in 2010 (and still online!):  Living in the 21st century means you will encounter more than a few “independent ladies” while you’re out on the prowl. We’re not talking about the stereotypical feminists here. The modern feminist can simply be a working woman who pays her own bills and doesn’t need a man in her life to be happy. Enter you, the lucky guy who is thrilled at the prospect of a non-clingy girlfriend. Not so fast. While the notion of the sexy feminist isn’t completely false, you need to be aware of those pesky feminist demands that even the most independent of women is expecting you to ignore. Why don’t women just tell you what they want, you ask? Silly rabbit, then they wouldn’t be women! Feminist demands to ignore include: Don’t objectify me! I can think for myself! I’ll pay my share! And more. “Sound contradictory to you? Well, that’s because it is. Women are a complete contradiction in terms and that’s one thing they’re likely never to evolve out of…” This is fucking ridiculous. Highlights: Women don’t mean what they say, ESPECIALLY feminists. Being complimented about your appearance is the same as being objectified. Be decisive. Because you’re a man, and stuff. As a rule, women want to get married. “No matter how independent women get, there will always be that part of them that wants to be treated like an old-fashioned lady.” Women don’t make any sense lol!

This is fucking ridiculous.
