Can I suggest that you remove or change the blowjob analogy? It's needlessly sexual, somewhat jarringly out of place in the rest of the article, and also carries an implication that all of the readers of your book are male. We've seen far worse recently, and I don't think there's anything demeaning in what you said, but still I wonder: why go there?
- petercooper 17y agoThanks - I've made it more gender neutral. I think a sexual reference makes the point stronger though, because I wouldn't find getting 10% of anything else at a time to be so frustrating (though ideas are welcomed!). Even 10% of a Big Mac wouldn't be that bad ;-)
- _pius 17y agoMaybe a tenth of an orgasm?
- zyb09 17y agoGod, is this the only thing you can comment on after reading the article? Let people use strong language in a blog post or a comment if they want to emphasize a point. We're all grown up and can talk directly to each other - no need to make yourself look like a smug.
