(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_for_God_%28TV_series%29) <BR/>She's uncompromisingly unmarried but just as uncompromisingly sexual--she's had everything from flings to long-term affairs, and when she takes up with Tom, she makes it clear to him that she's not looking for a man to fill the role of Husband. This is all part of my feminism and whatnot, of course, but in terms of sexuality, I've always loved that Diana pretty much does whatever she wants, accepts the consequences, and worries naught for what other people will think.Fellmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08651050366058663737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223027726680052006.post-30849393658410173432008-03-02T20:47:00.000-08:002008-03-02T20:47:00.000-08:00Thanks for commenting!

So she's something of an asexual role model too! (at least among those of us who identify as neutrois)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
