Until I was about 23 I ate meat. I had a normal British diet of meat, vegetables, instant noodles and 80% confectionery.

Then I ate a bad prawn curry and spent the following week shitting blood and snot, as my entire stomach lining exited my arsehole in tiny spurts, every 10 minutes.

Fearing death, I just instinctively lost all desire to eat meat after that. It started as pure instinct.

People think that feminism is outdated and irrelevant today. I'm really sad about this.

I love men. Men, this is NOT an attack on you. I think you're wonderful people. Gender stereotypes are perpetuated by women just as much as they are by men. I just want to point a few things out to you, so I compiled this list for you in the hope that it will illustrate to you some of the reasons that I am a feminist.

Any ideas?

So far I've looked at the 2009 Corolla XRS - it's a nice car, but at $23,000 it's a bit spendy. The Scion tC is pretty sweet, but there's no trunk space and mileage isn't that good, especially from a car as small as that one. Hell, I drive a 3,500lb Volvo S60 right now, and I get 25/33 miles to the gallon - all the while I get 208 horse power and 250 ft-lbs of torque thanks to it's 5-cyl engine.

It sucks that the tC is so cheap, because it offers all kinds of cool shit for such a low price ($18k) - but no trunk space.

Suggestions anyone?
