Her Breasts Were Too Small: Why A Dose of Feminism is Good for Writers. The Internal Clitoris. Consider this: In over five million years of human evolution, only one organ has come to exist for the sole purpose of providing pleasure—the clitoris.

And if the hands that knead it are dirty, it becomes impossible to separate the grime from the good. External pressures and internal pollutants jointly compromise the loaf. India’s Post-Ideological Politician. The catch-all populism of Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party has proven politically expedient in India.
Arvind Kejriwal is not a socialist. He’ll be the first one to say this. In interview after interview, Kejriwal, a rising political star in India, consciously distances himself from any left-wing associations. Yet the website arvindkejriwal.net.in (clearly run by a fan of Kejriwal, not the man himself) proudly proclaims that Kejriwal is a “popular socialist.” Other Countries, Other Shores.
