Swearing just isn't part of my normal vocab. I do not find words offensive (generally), but I find censorhip very offensive.<br /><br />One of my friends was present when I hit my thumb with a hammer, "Son of a Seabiscuit," I yelled.

I'm a woman. I'm writing about my experiences and doing it honestly, bluntly. Boy does that offend some people.<br /><br />Several months back I wrote about my one pregnancy and abortion. I lost readers on that one. But I will not be muzzled. I know my experiences are not that much different than so many women. But so many women have been muzzled by family, church, school, peer pressure and fear that they just haven't put it into words.

They can't make clean and reasonable distinctions between the things you want to read that they don't want you to read and the things you want to read that they don't care if you read, so as to only exclude the former, but they don't have to. They don't mind cutting off both the things they don't want you to read *and* the things they don't care about - or just cutting off everything.<br /><br />Censorship cannot make fine distinctions, but censors aren't trying to make fine distinctions - they're just trying to make sure you can't make your own choices about what to read, see, experience, or know. That, they can do.Kevin T.
