[Verity in flames]
Am I a feminist? I guess...I'm a feminist of the old school, a believer that women can and should be capable of taking care of themselves, of living in this real world with all its stresses and not collapsing in hysteria, of finding out for themselves what they want and going after it, of defending themselves. And believe me, I do.

And you know what? Non-consensual stuff may be an amusing fantasy, but I think abusing a child should result in immediate removal from the gene pool. Hurting another adult without their consent is just one step down. I can think of a few punishments for that, too.

No, I wasn't abused as a child. I've had a very few close scrapes with molestation and rape. But I had family to talk to, people to take care of me when I was younger. Nowadays I handle it all myself. See this pretty thing? This is my knife. Not as fancy as Sam's, but it does the job.
