You know, I consider myself to be a part of a pattern of abuse. I was never molested or raped, but I was bullied. And I was involved with two women who tried to involve me in their rape fantasies. One who had been raped... the other who, I think, probably ached for the experience.

While these things were a part of my sexual awakening, no one told me that my bearded, black Voice Command G. I. Joe doll should strip my Mego Batgirl doll and force her to kiss him.

There was definitely something in the way I was nurtured... but then my nature is not so innocent, either.
