For one thing, the joint is very comfortable with progressive and feminist issues. And when I say "Progressive and Feminist Issues," I of course mean Anal Bleaching. YES, don't contract every muscle at once! Bleaching your anus was the (quite sensible and understandable) topic of one of the readings at the book affair, and what? How do I know? Let's just say that Nezua's reach extends to many places (though never without proper warmup). And there's nothing wrong with that, of course! I mean bleaching your anus. Even with carcinogens! Not that I'd do it. Or feel the need. Then again, I visit KGB with slightly different priorities.

But I do have to say, this event very much demonstrates progress to me! To know that such a person—a woman no less—can visit one of my favorite bars in this day and age and talk freely and happily about bleaching her anus gives me a lot of hope. And I'm sure feminists all over the world will feel the hope, too.

In summation, I don't think it's accurate to simply peg Ms. Marcotte as a "plagiarist" and then write it all off. I would prefer to maintain a more holistic view of the whole affair.
