well lookee here, i believe i accuse 'em of doing it far too much in public. i am into scopofilia and enjoy the show, but not forever!
and it's too bad you missed rob schaap's supafine musings on academic onanism on lists. kneeslapper.

heh. in the US it's a turkey baster that's used for these purposes -- inseminarating in non-medical facilities that is.
here's a funny: i was once driving with a bud to a conference. he's a very conscientious feminist. we had to re-arrange plans b/c he and his wife had to go to the clinic b/c she was ovulating. pick him up from clinic. driving along and talking about all of this. the convo is pretty abstract, very feminist in its reflections on these issues --feminist in the sense that we were hashing out men's and women's gender identities in relation to having children, the tremendous pressure to have your *own* biological children. well all of a sudden it occured to me that i'd just picked the guy up from the clinic. heh. so i said, "so hey what *do* they give feminist men for reading material?"
i'm such a failed academic in these regards. this is *not* acceptable. thank god for these lists and three cheers to a sense of humor i say.
