  • Handler/Fetish CYOA V2.3
    Handler/Fetish CYOA v2.3 You meet a stranger whose face you can't see. She explains to you that she is the "Handler", a being with the ability to manipulate people's minds, interpersonal relationships and society. She is usually fair and doesn't abuse her powers too much, but lately she's been really bored and wants to have some fun. So she offers you a deal: you pick one or more of the following "Fetishes" she has, and you can use the gained points to acquire boons from her in the same deal. You get to choose beforehand how long the deal should last. You get the boons while the deal is in effect, or if the deal lasts for at least 10 years, you get the boons permanently. You can also make multiple deals. You can delay when deals start (though of course you won’t get boons from it until it starts). You can only pick each Fetish once across all your deals, you can’t “reuse them”. You also have to make your deals now, before your first deal takes effect. tl;dr: You can make deals. Each deal has a start time, a length, one or more fetishes, suboptions for those fetishes, and zero or more boons. You can’t pick the same Fetish in two different deals. How do you use this opportunity? Category I Fetishes Each gives you 2 points. There are also suboptions you can pick, that give or subtract points if you pick them. For example “-1p” means that it subtracts a point.

  • Images of Male Political Leaders in France and Norway
    Reconsidering Politics as a Man's World: Images of Male Political Leaders in France and Norway Anne Krogstad and Aagoth Storvik Researchers have often pointed to the masculine norms that are integrated into politics. This article explores these norms by studying male images of politics and power in France and Norway from 1945 to 2009. Both dress codes and more general leadership styles are discussed. The article shows changes in political aesthetics in both countries since the Second World War. The most radical break is seen in the way Norwegian male politicians present themselves. The traditional Norwegian leadership ethos of piety, moderation, and inward orientation is still important, but it is not as self- effacing and inelegant as it used to be. However, compared to the leaders in French politics, who still live up to a heroic leadership ideal marked by effortless superiority and seduction, the Norwegian leaders look modest. To explain the differences in political self-presentation and evaluation we argue that cultural repertoires are not only national constructions but also gendered constructions. Keywords: photographs; politics; aesthetics; gender; national cultural repertoires 1 When people think of presidents and prime ministers, they usually think of the incumbents of these offices.1 In both France and Norway, these incumbents have, with the exception of Prime Minister Edith Cresson in France and Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland in Norway, been male (and white). Researchers have often pointed to the masculine norms which are integrated into the expectations of what political officeholders should look like and be. Politics, it is claimed, is still very much a man’s world.2 However, maleness does not express general political leadership in a simple and undifferentiated way.

  • List of Paraphilias
    List of paraphilias Paraphilias are sexual interests in objects, situations, or individuals that are atypical. The American Psychiatric Association, in its Paraphilia Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fifth Edition (DSM), draws a Specialty Psychiatry distinction between paraphilias (which it describes as atypical sexual interests) and paraphilic disorders (which additionally require the experience of distress or impairment in functioning).[1][2] Some paraphilias have more than one term to describe them, and some terms overlap with others. Paraphilias without DSM codes listed come under DSM 302.9, "Paraphilia NOS (Not Otherwise Specified)". In his 2008 book on sexual pathologies, Anil Aggrawal compiled a list of 547 terms describing paraphilic sexual interests. He cautioned, however, that "not all these paraphilias have necessarily been seen in clinical setups. This may not be because they do not exist, but because they are so innocuous they are never brought to the notice of clinicians or dismissed by them. Like allergies, sexual arousal may occur from anything under the sun, including the sun."[3] Most of the following names for paraphilias, constructed in the nineteenth and especially twentieth centuries from Greek and Latin roots (see List of medical roots, suffixes and prefixes), are used in medical contexts only. Contents A · B · C · D · E · F · G · H · I · J · K · L · M · N · O · P · Q · R · S · T · U · V · W · X · Y · Z Paraphilias A Paraphilia Focus of erotic interest Abasiophilia People with impaired mobility[4] Acrotomophilia
