I believe human sexuality is one of the most ridiculous aspects of being a human, and here I was, facing publications whose prevailing editorial slant sought to portray our basic rutting instincts as something ennobling and empowering, to depict women who were fundamentally whores and predominantly unstable as sex workers and god
