Challenge #00258: Meeting as Equals
The correct way to take a feminist out on a date.
“Hey.”
“Hello.”
“Can I ask you something?”
“Sure.”
“Where do you like to go for fun?”
A smile. “Are you going to ask me out?”
“I’m going to try,” he announced. “I think you’re cute and I’d like to get to know you.”
“Have you heard of steampunk?

I am now in fangirl-love with Steam Powered Giraffe.
I am still deciding who “the cute one” is, but they will be joining my fantasy harem anon.
That is all.

My mom never really noticed. She noticed when she was breast feeding my little brother and blood started coming out instead of milk.
My mom said she felt and saw a little lump in the shower. She was lucky enough she found it at stage 2

Challenge #00257: What a Wonderful World
When truly equity is nurtured upon Mother Earth between the genders (Again, because I’m thinking of MLK.)
“So… Mari. Is that one a he or a she?”
“Gram-MAAAA…” Mari blushed. “You promised…”
“I did, I did. I’m sorry. I forgot.”
“I only let you be my show-and-tell ‘cause you promised you wouldn’t do any of the old-fashioned stuff.”
Gramma nodded. “I

Someone with an ARTICULATELY RATIONAL reason for detesting Sara and waging futile jihad against mutants because of her. (Just because I’m feeling deep in my ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ phase today being the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington.) Something akin to what Luther did on the doorframe would be nice as well.

Challenge #00255: The wall and the Hypocri-sea.
The invisible fence, 15 feet high that divides the America that lectures others on “multiculturalism”.
It was a rich white girls’ party. Anyone watching the video could tell. It wasn’t in a house. It wasn’t even in a mansion. It was in a palace. The theme was multiculturalism.
She was wearing sexy lederhosen with a chinese shirt and Inca shoes. She also sported a rainbow sombrero and a necklace made of ‘fangs’.

Bees.
[AN: Any relationship between certain corporations in this fiction and certain poison companies is strictly imaginary]
Fantraxin did not kill bees. That was its primary selling point. It killed all other insects that may predate on crops, but not the bees. How it did so, of course, was a company secret.

Greater Deregulation’s more esoteric moments.
“But I don’t have any of my papers. My house burned down.”
“If you had signed up for the TrakMe program…”
“I had. My parents signed me up just after I got a name. I’ve been trying to sign on with or without their help for forty years.”

Agent Pertwee and the first moments he realized that his job sucked for reasons he didn’t expect.
[AN: Once again, it’s Jane Pertwee :) ]
The FBI had been covertly watching this school for some time. Now, with the Mutant Registration Act, it was watching more overtly. As in, agents in the field, tailing their respective suspects, and making sure that a bunch of teenagers with superpowers….

- She lived in the tenth century in Aleppo, Syria and was a famous scientist who designed and constructed astrolabes.
