8-Minute Personal Ad Surfaces on YouTube: Single White Men Seeking Dominatrices



Hey Yo Woman,

I, am sorry.

I pledge to honor all women (wymyn?) everywhere, by accepting my role in atrocities and cruelties committed long before my birth.  I hold myself responsible for all actions that are not my own.  I recognize, that just as it is not in any way absurd for me to personally take credit for the inventions of logic, space travel, the English language, and peanut butter; so too, it is fully rational for me to apologize for every wrong perpetrated by any single male, because, hey, I'm one too.  I promise to speak in the creepiest way imaginable about lovemaking ("mutual body worship"), and your body parts ("sacred parfumeur").  I pledge to superficially take a stand against things that are obviously wrong, so that you know I'm serious about the rest of the stuff I just said.  Together, we can make miracles.  Miracles.  Miracles.  Miracles.
