How Many Roads Must a Man Walk Down

01 Nov

Ah yes, it’s a great, great day to be alive. The long battle is over, and successful. The day countless info-warriors hoped and prayed and fought for has indeed come to pass. Break open the bubbly (and a good book) in celebration, because the Library of Congress has finally added “strap-on sex” as a subject heading! Huzzah!

However, even in this moment of victory, we must pause and acknowledge that while this battle may be won, the war continues; as Jessamyn points out, there is still no LOC subject heading for “dildoes.”

That’s how the Monkeys plan to beat us: by turning us against each other.

    Not true. There is a Library of Congress heading for “dildos” (slightly different spelling, but with a cross-reference from “dildoes”) in the very same list as the one that brought us “Strap-on sex.” Jessamyn points this out when she says, “I was able to replicate the search and find the listing for dildoes in the weekly list for September 26th.
