I am about to reveal a secret. A secret that, many have predicted, could destroy Western Civilization if made available to the public.
All unmarried men and boys LOOK AWAY NOW!
It’s a hole surrounded by hair.
That’s it. That’s the secret that has driven the porn industry since picture books came out. The secret that has been chased by peeping toms, upskirters, and incels for generations.
The secret that has driven church ladies and god-botherers to police washrooms, legislate cruelty, and deny freedoms.
This secret is what has the religious right and the Evangelicals in a frenzy — the idea that a boy might get a glimpse of their daughter’s down under, and see the hole.
Or even worse, that a biological boy might see into a bathroom stall and glimpse a hole. Even though he’s been given a hole, and wasn’t interested in holes anyway. These cretins are willing to KILL to keep the secret from them.
It’s not even a particularly attractive hole. And the hair is coarse.
But somehow — SOMEHOW — if any boys see these holes, either live, on a screen, or in a book, it will trigger the Apocalypse. Before marriage, anyway.
Secret number 2; It won’t.
Lots of boys HAVE seen it. I got my first glimpse from a coverless men’s magazine pulled from a dumpster when I was 8. The world’s still here. It just seems like an apocalypse sometimes. Their outrage is a political stunt to get support for the unsupportable. I wouldn’t care, if this particular stunt were not killing lots of kids for no good reason.
I want to shove the above fact into their faces, tell them to deal with it, and move on. Their little political stunt is hurting too many people. And one is too many.
