So feliciter is 'awfully intrigued by the possibilities in The Farmer and The Pig'?

The original source is happy to oblige.

Thank you for finding these links...the author's matter-of-fact tone makes everything ten times more hilarious.

Although am rather dubious about his assertions that these stories were meant to "reflect Confucianism ideas about female chastity", and that the "Fox Fairy and the Scholar" anticipates gay liberation - the more familiar female form that fox fairies tend to take is a better example of women's (so to speak) lib, IMHO.

The umm proselytizing aspect of gay webpages almost invariably undermines any pretensions they have to scholarship. Which is a pity. A few more facts, a little less special pleading, would be far more useful by me. But maybe where they come from the need for rhetoric outweighs the urges to impartiality.

Still, you think theymight have figured the fox thing for themselves.

that is... well, I'm speechless. I really want to know where this stuff comes from.
