“Sure, she loved discussing the fate of a woman branded by passion, the issues of male-dominated religion run amok, of government repression, stoic women, and sex, sex, sex!

If that’s not possible, please let someone’s hair burst into flames so I can cancel class while I put them out. No one listened, not even God.
