3.0

I really wish this hadn't finished with the story it did (Tamsen's), because wow I hated it so much. The "heroine" decides she hates the guy who wears conservative shirts to her spin class and apparently works for the Republicans in some way. Her solution? Demand he come to her place without even introducing herself, and when he shows up with gifts clearly expecting a date, she straps on a dildo to give him a "hate fuck" up the ass. This would have been enough to make me profoundly uncomfortable even if he DIDN'T code autistic. But he did. And as for him? Eh, he doesn't really agree with the social injustice his party gasps upon everyone else, but eh, whatever, fiscal conservatism, amirite? But after a pegging and a telling off (yeah, in that order) he shows up at a protest march wearing a pussy hat to find her and tell her he's seen the light, I guess? Except he also says he doesn't plan to change his behavior? And now she's cool with him? I hated this story so much that I don't want to rate the anthology right now because there's no way I could be objective.
