Kant, not c***.
That seems like a logical judgement not an aesthetic. Apparently that's a problem. I used to be able to call stuff beautiful without getting migraines.

Forget logic and aesthetics, it's a Platonic judgement: matter only keeps you away from the virtue. Sex is a hinderance in the path to great thoughts.

And yet I'm managing to study Kant in a PhD program while nursing a baby. And most of the men in the philosophy seminar with me are married and have children as well. I leave it to the reader to determine what this says about the existence of our sex lives.

I heartell she's bisexual so we can BOTH talk about girls.
Girls <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Watch out, that can just make it all the easier to fall into the "do you think she's prettier than me" trap. Used to happen with my (bisexual) ex girlfriend really often until I just sort of trained myself to ignore my surroundings.

I may not get the quote exactly right, because I don't have the book on hand, but in The Ancestor's Tale, in the chapter called the Rotifer's Tale, Richard Dawkins says something along the lines of, "The existence of the male sex is an evolutionary scandal."

Girls really aren't that bad, once you get a little older. I do agree that if you're 25 or younger, girls are a real pain.

Ok just as a disclaimer I wasn't expecting that to happen and certainly it doesn't happen anytime I do it
