An excellent story, but maybe you should change the title to something more "interesting", if you know what I mean :)

Yeah, I thought about the title but couldn't think of anything decent!

Read it out at the Creative Writing Society feedback meeting yesterday, and quite a few of the women there expressed unhappiness at the inherant - well, quite blatant, frankly - misogyny of the story. As well they should, I might add. It is quite a sexist story when it boils down to it, or rather it involves misogynystic characters, but that's the sort of story I wanted to tell. I wanted them to be grotesque men.

Any of the women who've read it here similarly unhappy?

Unhappy? No. It's the whole point of the story, it's what makes it good! Any different, and it would not be the same. It would be worse.

I'm sure you can publish a collection of your stories somewhere (as a book I mean)... That would rock!
