Very interesting post by Kochanie. I find stuff like this so fascinating. I wrote a few linguistics papers on the subject in college. I think language *does* reflect societal attitudes, but only up to a point, bc attitudes change faster than language.

“As I rounded the corner from beauty aids, headed to the medicine aisle, I saw it – the personal care section. And what was front and center, at eye-level, on the shelf? A vibrator. A fucking VIBRATOR. At RITE AID.”

You majored in linguistics, if I recall correctly. So thank you for the professional feedback and the link.
Your picture in the sidebar (Your Hostess) is great! Glad you’re using it when you post comments rather than the avatar.
Next I have to hook up my speakers to my computer so I can watch and listen to your pole dancing video.
