Having done almost no research on the topic, I have tentatively concluded that dyslexia is not a disorder where people involuntarily use anagrams in everyday speech.  Again, I don’t have a lot of data to back this up, but it may be a learning disability that affects people in a whole range of ways, but especially in early literacy, speech comprehension, and memory, which leads to serious problems that begin in grade school or earlier, but are often poorly addressed by educators and lead to further difficulties later in life.  In fact, dyslexia may not be hilarious at all.
Also, what is the deal with the internet and 19th century etching-style clip art?  Is it too hard to draw a dude in normal clothes who looks like he could be saying “I have se-
Wait a minute, I just got it.  This is fucking hilarious!  See, the joke is that “sex daily” is an anagram of “dyslexia” and people with dyslexia often have trouble spelling, so that would be a mistake someone with dyslexia might make!  And both the word and the anagram would be proceeded by the words “I have!”  And look at that Dickensian gentleman with his funny clothes, large belly and tumbler (!) of scotch.  He could be saying either of those things, the way he’s posed.  And what’s more, he would be at home in Victorian London or a Williamsburg wine tasting party in progress this very minute, but “I have sex daily” would only be appropriate in the latter!  Really, the juxtapositions and double meanings of this e-card are rife with comic potential.  Keep those jokes coming, internet!

"Although most boys figure out how to bring themselves to orgasm by age thirteen, half of girls don’t have their first orgasms until their late teens, twenties, or beyond. Teenage girls widely agree that they get the message loud and clear that masturbation is something boys do, but girls don’t, can’t, or shouldn’t. The cultural focus on intercourse tells young women to expect they’ll begin to experience sexual pleasure once they have sex with a man (whether or not they’re even interested in sex with men). Nearly all teen boys, on the other hand, experience sexual pleasure long before they get their hands—or other body parts—into a partner’s pants. Despite the massive advances in women’s equality, young women’s sexuality is stuck in a surprising paradox. Young women are sold provocative clothes but aren’t taught where to find their own clitoris. Many girls give their boyfriends oral sex, but are too uncomfortable with their own bodies to allow the guys to return the favor. It’s still a radical act to say that women need and deserve access to information about their own sexual pleasure—not just about the risks and negative consequences of sex."

Femme Fatale: 30 Day Feminist Challenge
Day22: feminist unpopular opinion (mainstream feminist opinion you disagree with)
This is a difficult task.  I believe strongly in the plurality of opinions in the feminist community and there is not a dogma, rather a free thought that unites us.  I believe that women are free to dress as they choose and to present themselves as they choose regardless of gender lines. I certainly do not believe that the way a woman presents herself targets her for any repression, violence, or rape.  I do believe that there are many women in the feminist community who would agree with me on most of these lines.

HOW COULD THIS POSSIBLY BE DIFFICULT.
