Before I hit “delete all spam messages now”, I usually quickly scan the folder for any real emails.
Today I noticed something. When did sex spam become so much more… egalitarian?
A sample of actual subject lines:
* “Give your lady the very best”
* “Give her the best loving every night”
* “Your lady deserves only the best”
* “Only for your lover”
* “Making her come”
* “How to take time for relationships”
Sort of warms your heart doesn’t it?
Happy Friday!

Ooo I wanna play too:
Be the lovemaking legend in your town
She'll be begging for your love rod every night
and
Achieve true masculinity and manhood (which I can only assume means respecting others, embracing difference, sharing emotions and so forth)

"Your sweety will like that!"
"Your new pecker in the mail!"
...and my personal fave from the past few weeks, which has nothing to do with "manhood"...
"We have hijacked your baby."
Now, I thought it was my career, my feminism and my life goals that hijacked my baby. Imagine the relief I've found now that I know it's just some dude sending me an email.

GGG, I guess, but they're still constantly assuming I'm a dude. Girls don't have email addresses, I guess?

An email with VIRUSES in it. Just in case anyone else receives word that their baby has been hijacked.

(We get to decide what's discriminatory, hateful, attacking, or inflammatory).
In some cases, we will cap off comments on a discussion when we feel they are spiralling out of control and fostering an unwelcoming space for bloggers and readers. Comments will be closed by the Web Editor, unless the post is by the Web Editor, in which case the Editor in Chief will close them.
If your comments repeatedly make the same point, they may be deleted. This also applies to comments made by multiple members of the same organization.
Your comments should be about the topic of the post, not its writer—although we certainly encourage praise for our writers, if you want to say something nice.
