    [Read the article: Who pays for an unwanted twin?]

    The most important question here is: Have the two mommies informed one of their girls that she was unwanted yet? If not, when will they? And how will they decide which child to tell? The one who cries the most, or is the most demanding? Will they save court transcripts and recordings of their interviews to tearfully share with their designated unwanted daughter in the future, much like others share treasured photo albums and mementoes of childhood? One can only hope...

    I wholeheartedly support gay and lesbian parenting and families, but these women are seriously damaging all the other gay and lesbian families in Australia by their reprehensible actions and words. Shame on them both.

    Damn, you are exasperating! (which, if I thought you had the savviness to pull it off, I might think you were doing deliberately, just to be annoying. But you're far too earnest to be an actual troll, which is even scarier.)

    It's in very poor taste to attack someone's sexually.

    Cite one example where I attacked anyone's sexuality (or as you put it, "sexually") on this site, let alone AKA Smith's. My reply to her wasn't an "attack" (again, please refer to your outdated dictionary, as you clearly don't know the meaning of the word) and I think I stated clearly at least twice that if she truly IS a lesbian, that's perfectly fine. My post was a mildly tongue-in-cheek (at least in the sexuality angle) dissection of her gynophilia. She seems rather deeply enamored of women and their bodies, and quite dismissive of men and their bodies. Fair enough, I really don't care about her personal proclivities, but if she's really a covert lesbian she owes it to her husband to end the charade, get it over with already, and allow him to move on. Again, the evidence abounds of your radical humorectomy. It must have been a major, invasive surgery. How sad for you. But rest assured it was a smashing success!

    Though, I will attack a lot of people with anything that they may write that would give evidence to how extremely sexually unappealing to women they are.

    Uhm, what?! Your writing makes little or no sense. Are you sure you're not some tween boy typing away in his basement in between games on his Xbox? If you really are an adult, you could stand to hire a copyeditor. At the very least, please start using the "preview" function!

    AKA Smith hasn't expressed anything to suggest that she is not attract to men, in fact quite the opposite

    Oh really? What about these tidbits:

    "I'm sorry fellas, but we are just so much prettier than men"

    "one thing that I found difficult was finding men attractive"

    "I have often found women far more aesthetically attractive than I do men"

    Yep, sounds like she fairly pants with lust after men!

    we should respect her privacy

    She brought up her sexuality and attraction to women and lack of attraction to men, not me. fetboy, your earnestness is really starting to drive me insane. Please get some professional help.

    Personally I thought your attack on my women's-hands fetish was a bit beneath you, but it really didn't bother me. Also It's not really a fetish, because it's what women do with their hands, not their hands themselves, that turn me on.

    I didn't attack you for it, I just thought it was a little weird that you brought it up when it wasn't necessary to the discussion. No one on the thread needed to know (or wanted to know, for that matter) about your personal kinks. Keep it to yourself.

    Yeah, I know TMI, but you asked for it, when you started attacking people's sexuality.

    Again, I attacked no one's sexuality, and I didn't ask to be told about your sexual kinks and fetishes. Anyone who shares such things with strangers unsolicited is at best a little perverted, and in some contexts, creepy.

    As I noted in the "tits" thread, you have MAJOR problems with reading comprehension and logical thought (let alone spelling and syntax). Please work on those things. Your brain will thank you for it!
