Man, I hate Tori Amos fans. I was just thinking about this because I found out that there is going to be some sort of Tori Amos-themed comic book/graphic novel something something extravaganza and so I was checking the livejournal communities to see what kind of stupid came out of it, and...I don't know.

Enjoy this prime example of 1) The type of "science" used by rape apologists and 2) The ( Read more... )

I just wasted my entire afternoon trying fruitlessly to find sources for my term paper on menstrual suppression that is due in one week. Today's Lesson: Always, always, always start term paper research with Wikipedia. Never cite it, but always start there.
