THE ALMIGHTY COLLAR: WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT

It’s fast becoming no secret that I am involved in two intertwined yet distinct non-conventional relationships. I have a beautiful partner and we are exploring an open relationship (a subject for a future post) and I am also exploring a power exchange dynamic with another man who I call Sir. Through both of these amazing […]

GET FUCKING CONSENT: WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT?

The first time I was sexually assaulted was the night my ‘cherry’ was ‘popped’ at the ripe and (by today’s standard) seemingly late age of nineteen.

NO EXEMPTIONS IN MARRIAGE LAW, THANKS: WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT

It is direct to Mr Hastie that I target […]

GET OFF THE FENCE: WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT?

The public marriage equality debate is now in full swing, and I can tell you the last few days have been equal parts depressing and illuminating. I’ve managed to get a real sense of many of the issues raised by those who are concerned or outright opposed to marriage equality. So, in the interests of […]

THE PLEBISCITE COMETH: WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT?

I should have known better than to hope. Today I am kicking myself for being so naive as to think that, behind closed doors, the Liberal Party might wake up to themselves and realise what they have been told time and time again: that the plebiscite is damaging, expensive and ultimately pointless – and to […]
