In my entirely unqualified opinion, sex robots of an actual human being who has not consented to have a sex robot made of her/him are unethical, creepy, and really borderline a violation, but sex robots not made in the likeness of a specific human being or made with a person’s permission are not unethical. Creepy to…

It’s delightful. He sent out a request to a company asking to buy fetal tissue from them, in what he clearly thought would be a sting.

It’s something so repulsive even I won’t eat it, and I’ve been known to put away half a can of vanilla frosting for lunch. A key word that everyone seems to be leaving out is STICKY.

An ingredient in the (semi-)official Massachusetts state sandwich:

My home town has really awful medical services and a truly terrible city hospital staffed by the kind of doctors who will drop you if you question them. So it’s no great surprise that many of my friends who live there are huge fans of alternative medicine. One drives an hour to her homeopathic dentist (who has already…

I just donated to UNICEF. Here’s the link if anyone else would like to.

Calmly saying something non-factual and ahistoric does not lend truthiness to a self-serving lie; it just makes the speaker look especially ignorant, because apparently that ignorance is willful rather than emotional (men get emotional when it comes to women and their inferiority, I’ve found).

In the mid 80s a college professor told me a (possibly apocryphal) story about a male student who wrote an essay arguing that women were inherently less rigorous writers- using George Eliot’s work as an example of the epitome of said rigorous male writing that no woman could match.

Where in this piece did the author say Talese should be dis-credited for his early work? In fact she does the opposite, she gives him his due. Does this make him above criticism.

Both influential and irrelevant. Damn, son, do you need a chiropractor for that twisting you did?

Pouring one out for the pitiful old rich white guy still spouting misogyny.

He's so irrelevant he was asked to speak at an industry event. Nice argument there

Thanks!

Well, there’s two clear solutions to that:
