I’ve been accused by someone here on Medium of sounding like a sexist dude. I corrected her: I prefer the term unapologetic equal opportunist.

I don’t really wade into all of that. But, nah, I wouldn’t call myself a feminist.

Since I write repeatedly about not being into casual sex, I felt it prudent to clarify that, yes, aspects of James Bond are very much up my alley. On the other hand, the fact that he treats most women as disposable is obviously not appealing to me.

Hmmm…I’m probably too scrappy and edgy to be a Southern Belle. I don’t drink iced tea either. (Though I’m rather fond of grits.) I’ll have to poll my friends in real life: is Bonnie a Southern Belle? I suspect that would concur with my own assessment.

Labels don’t much interest me and they tend to lead to assumptions, finger-pointing, and projections. And those things REALLY, REALLY don’t interest me.
