Some thoughts:

• Surgically sterilized is not the same as infertile. I don't know why I felt the urge to say that, but it is true. One is on purpose, one not so much so.
  
  
• Often the people who choose not to have children are the ones who oughta, and vice versa. Fortunately, the gene pool has its ways of self-correcting. Still, I do fear for the children of today.
  
  
• If you can't tell the difference between a toxic manipulator and a friend, you may deserve what you get (yes, this applies to me, too, given recent experiences).
  
  
• If you post about your sex life on the intarwebz, people will feel free to comment about it, both positively and negatively. You have made it a topic for public discussion. Deal with it.
  
  
• If you come on to someone and come visit them alone in their home, they may have some reason to think you want to fuck. No means no, and all that; still, changing your mind at the last minute does demonstrate a lack of forethought on your part.
  
  
• If you seem to feel that all around you are mean people who betray you, yadda yadda yadda, look in the mirror.
  
  
• If someone tells you that people are saying nasty things about you behind your back
  (1) Why do you believe it? and
  (2) Is that person much of a friend?

Obviously, if you are one of the wonderful people whom I have the privilege to call my friends, this rant doesn't apply to you.
