Listen, in the context of everything that’s been happening of late with self-identity and the validity of non-traditional views of one’s self being more valid than social constructs, what you’re saying makes total sense. I mean, race is the ultimate social construct, right?

That's a good point. People in Wenatchee or Kennewick would have seen through her bullshit.

If I didn’t know any better, I could be convinced that this entire episode was nothing but a stunt. A stunt meant to expose the absurdity of the postmodern branch of progressivism.

This is a government resource similar to the ones paid for by GWB that dismissed the assertions of scientists who proved the climate change was upon us ...

Pornography, and sex work, whether it involves what we think of as convention abuse and degradation... is always about the suspension of the performers’ sexual autonomy.

Statistics related to crime amongst minorities = Bullshit

Why didn’t they do a study that specified rape. Just so there’s no more confusion.

Years ago, when I was in Chicago, my sister-in-law and her boyfriend came to visit and proceeded to screw loudly in the bedroom above ours late into the night. It was annoying and my wife mentioned it to her, which caused a big fight.

Are they being coerced? That definition would make sense if UN peacekeepers were withholding aid in exchange for sex, but if everyone is getting the same amount of aid and some people are exchanging sex for additional aid, that doesn’t sound like coercion. Doesn’t mean it should be a practice that’s allowed, but let’s…

I just can’t help it, but I gotta rain on this guy’s parade. Years ago, a cop told me only idiots rob banks nowadays for a few reasons. Mainly, the haul is pretty small (probably a few grand) compared to what you can get away with doing all sorts of other “illegal activities” and chances are high you’ll get caught. If…

“I think this characterization is grounded in cultural judgments of women’s genitals as being “complicated” and “mysterious”. Let’s lay this unfair reputation to rest with some straightforward advice on performing some awesome cunnilingus.”

Thank you. I find it really ironic when men claim they can’t work with women because their sexual impulses interfere with their ability to be professional, and then they turn around and say women are not professional because they are too emotional. Excuse me, but what are sexual impulses if not feelings?!?!? Who is…

I loved Raise the Red Lantern so I bet I’ll love the Playboy book too.

Speak for yourself. Unless you’re not a man who has been harassed by women, in which case, don’t speak at all.

Actually, men do not “generally commit suicide more than women,” so much as they succeed more often because they tend to use more violent methods, such as guns. But women attempt it more often.

What makes these findings so striking is that female veterans’ “suicide rate is so high that it approaches that of male veterans, a finding that surprised researchers because men generally are far more likely than women to commit suicide,” said the L.A. Times. Epidemiologist Matthew Miller (who wasn’t part of the…

Interesting that it is seen to be obscene that women’s rates of suicide approach mens. Seems to be rooted in patriarchal thinking a little. Not that we shouldn’t be studying and aiming to reduce both drastically (sexual assault dynamic must play a role) and if that means developing separate services and strategies for…

I have no “skin in the race” and, in fact, I should be one of the people who “hate” Iggy Azalia (I’m a dark-skinned Black woman and a fan of mainstream and not-so-mainstream hip-hop—- Hot 97 Summer Jam here I come!). I just think all this hand-wringing about her is just silly.

Iggy Azealia is one of the biggest selling recording artists and highest profile celebs of the last 1.5 years. If her career were “dying” Jezebel wouldn’t devote headline after headline to her—-people with dying careers don’t get this much ink spilled in their name on pop culture blogs.
