<description>This article is for plebians who need only frivolous talks and silly points to talk with a view to passing time.
Man would also talk about as to how much time is taken by the razor every day to shave when time is the essence for him.Ilearn that huge space is taken by women&#039;s clothes rather than by man&#039;s in a Mall and yet,no complaints. Is&#039;nt it queer!  Then lament on vagina and its consequences that nature has ordained. </description>

<description>Dear Ideasmith,

Very moving piece. I am glad you came out and expressed the shame and guilt that many of us carry. As a victim of sexual abuse in my childhood, I understand the scars such events leave on people. In general parents are too trusting of other people when it comes to their children. Pedophilia is much more common, especially in India, than is acknowledged. Little boys are even more vulnerable because usually girls are more protected in our society.

Regards,

Ravi </description>

<description>Ms Anona, why is your sexuality dead? Isn&#039;t what you said a disturbing event if there is truth to it? From what I read of your posts you are married and would not your prevalent condition take away an important form of intimacy that binds couples together away?

Ideasmith, its good to hear that you defeated your demons.

<description>Ms. Anona,

Even though IdeaSmith is talking about herself and her experiences, it is nevertheless a general issue she is raising, confronting, reflecting about/on....</description>

<description>IdeaSmith: it will sound corny to you but I cried after reading this. One of the finest, most poetic and poignant posts on DC. I couldn&#039;t stop reading it. Its so painful and so liberating all at once that its just plain beautiful.

Rejoice your emancipation and bravo!</description>

<description>thank you for sharing. thank you for being brave. thank you for forgiving yourself, for finding your voice, for trying to become whole.

thank you from all of us who&#039;ve also suffered.

by refusing to remain a victim you have found yourself again. 

(side note... if, nay, when those sick bastards who shall remain nameless come here and say something stupid, ignore them. do not waste your energy, they mean nothing.)</description>

<description>is:

rivetting...absorbing...long...at times sloppy...but over all a wonderful read...thanks for sharing...

more power to you!

writing this i suspect would have been a cathartic and liberating experience for you

as for the nuisance factor of commentators ... worry not...you can make them crawl
