+1000. Not only her writing is fantastic, the articles are also extensively linked to each other, so you can easily spend 1-2 hours jumping from one excellent article to another. I have learned about so many people from the Marginalian.
If you want to delve may I suggest:

- irrational 4y agoThis quote from Ursula Le Guin struck me as funny >Sex is even more boring as a spectator sport than all the other spectator sports I think the massive popularity of porn on the Internet would argue against this assertion.
- telesilla 4y agoI think you miss the point, she's taking the perspective of a failed man. In general, porn is pretty boring to her compared to the act itself. She states this by saying she'd rather watch show jumping while having sex, over watching sex. (I'm in her court and anecdotally so are many other women).
