| | Well, what might the proper language etiquette be? What are our principles - I mean, without referring to PC or campus, word-Nazi standards. I seem to remember Ted writing some exploratory thoughts on Objectivist etiquette.
Richard, speaking as a gay man, says he would object to being called a c-sucker, and I can understand that, despite being a fairly old, white, straight guy. But Steyn, whose raw talent should earn him more liberty than others, didn't use the noun vagina, or one of the more direct slang nouns, like c--t. It seems to me that a muff, is almost once-removed and kind of like a tush in its linguistic softness. But then, not being a lesbian I don't have an emotional take on this.
Thoughts?

Still, even for a demographic doom-monger such as myself, you could hardly ask for a more poignant fin de civilisation image than a stampede of broody lesbians stymied only by defective semen, like some strange dystopian collaboration between Robert Heinlein and Russ Meyer set in a world divided into muff divers and duff donors.
