Yeah, that's not really what I mean. I too feel pretty good about my professional/political/volunteer experiences - it's just, not matter what I do, I always feel like I could do more. I too have had sex and work cross paths, including a photo shoot for SSSpread, so it's not that i am fundamentally opposed to this, it's just that the work I currently do, in schools is appropriately separate from my sex life (although I do manage to find work in schools for friends, lovers and fuck buddies, so I suppose it overlaps that way).

I also encounter these conversations in many places and am often left wondering who really feels like they belong. All too often, I don't think it is nearly enough of us.

As far as I can tell, you are not a misanthrope, just discerning.
