    If a person sleeps with their boss to get ahead, that doesn’t make the person a slut, it makes the boss a sex offender.

    Even the “sexy woman controls powerful man” narrative is about power dynamics and manipulation. Some men fear this for the same reason buglers always lock their doors.

      Because bugles are awesome and you would be a fool to trust a burglar to keep his hands off one?

      Also, autocorrect tried to change bugles to burlesque, which would have been confusing and funny.

        I’m convinced that grammar/ spelling people think God is an English teacher and his cock is a huge red pen. Grading other peoples work makes them feel power and proximity to the divine.

          If someone can’t see the absurd humor in buglers fearing the random theft of their beloved instrument, well, imagine how much brighter their world could be. Deciding to take this as a personal attack or an attempt on my part to feel superior to you was a choice you made.
