Fast reply - Perhaps some people didn't 'get it' because of the cultural divide. All the local Brits seem to have 'got it'. I thought it was funny as hell. If you didn't 'get it', it's no reason to be angry, upset or offended: rather, you could take it in your stride and laugh at yourself for 'not getting it'. Stella's post is a well-written piece of satire, not an indictment on your personal choices and 'lifestyle'.
It's funny that people take this so seriously: it's comedy, for crying out loud [:D] .
Dear kittinSol
Fucking briliiant insight. And to help out here from the Wiki is a definition of satire:
Satire is often strictly defined as a literary genre or form; although, in practice, it is also found in the graphic and performing arts. In satire, human or individual vices, follies, abuses, or shortcomings are held up to censure by means of ridicule, derision, burlesque, irony, or other methods, ideally with the intent to bring about improvement.[1] Although satire is usually meant to be funny, the purpose of satire is not primarily humor in itself so much as an attack on something of which the author strongly disapproves, using the weapon of wit.
Now IMPO although wit is an art form, satire elucidates even further as it it based upon not the desire to make light of one's own insights but to bring light onto those areas not normally voiced from the darkness of one's experience.
IMHO (humble...who knows if you consider me honest)....there are very very very many roads that Stella has travelled, bare foot and ungendered metaphorically that I have never yet walked. The hot coals of the sopul. So: yes it was satire but nevertheless of the quality that had me speechless with respect.
