To add to the gallery of Great Killer Tomcats Of All Time, up there with Greebo and Horse: this happy moggy who apparently treed a bear. And we thought Pratchett made it up.
Watched Kinsey last night. Got flashbacks to:
(a) my own lectures on internet erotica: being absolutely matter-of-fact about sex.
(b) Victorian England. Ye gods, the first half of last century was a bunch of benighted cultural savages in so many ways. It seems absurd to consider how much things have changed in only fifty years.
(c) Feminist angst. The Kinsey Report on male sexuality was madly popular. Ditto on female sexuality caused outrage and funding cuts, as apparently women aren't supposed to have sex.
(d) The current American religious right, which is a scary, scary thought.
