I'm looking for an article in which a critic uses he/him pronouns for Stephen Gordon in 'The Well of Loneliness'. I've read it somewhere but can't find it. Can anyone help?

Frankly, Crump should give his mouth a rest and give his arse a chance.

This is one of the most disturbing things I have ever heard coming out of America. If anything, the ideal should be to EXTEND the right to vote. Anyone who is subject to laws should have a say - at the very least a vote in choosing the lawmakers - in how they are framed and enacted.

I often liken the "Labour" government's performance to the "The official language of San Marcos will be Swedish" speech from Woody Allen's Bananas. But at least the revolutionary leader had pretended to be left wing to start with.
