    Thank you for this post.

    I'm go through a very bad devorce at the moment. I've actually moved back in to my parents basement, but my soon-to-be ex wife still keeps visiting. I've tried various ways to discourage her, including putting up a picture of my new partner, Cletus and I in our matching fursuits, on the cellar door, but none has worked.

    But since I put a printout of your post up, she hasn't come around at all.

    If women were vampires, your post would be garlic.

    Unfortunately, there are some women who resemble werewolves, and they are attracted to Star Trek like it was made out of ice cream.

    Stick a Serenity poster on your door, that'll keep them away.
