A diabolical rapist with a neck in the form of a vagina is insulting to vaginas everywhere.

I bet you get as weary of hearing this as I get of hearing, "Wasn't there a TV show named .......?" 😂 And of course I have to reply, "Yes, but I'm older than the TV show; it was first a book, then a movie starring Sandra Dee." 🙄 Solidarity, friend.
