    Feminist Soap Opera?

    I can't imagine how exhausting it must have to summarize all that tooing and froing about blowing. But the names alone - Jessica, Amanda - reminded me of a soap opera. This whole debate really reads like a bizarro episode of Dynasty, with Krystal going "ewwww! patriarchy!" at the thought of having to go down on Dex Dexter, and with Alexis elbowing her out of the way with a hearty, "Sisterhood is powerful, pass me the powertool!" Who says feminists are humorless?
