There is only so much you can do to make people be more honest with you. If they’re going to be jerks, then you just have to see it for what it’s worth and go with it. Otherwise, trying to reform anyone now will only make you lose your mind and your faith in humanity. Don’t let that one a-hole ruin your party!

I’m terribly bored of having it constantly mansplained to me that, Oh, isn’t western Europe so sexually “liberated” and isn’t it so great that they put topless ladies in their tabloids and soft-core on their basic tv channels at night and naked ladies are running rampant in their films and man,…
Amen, sister!
“Male baboons have been known to viciously maul a female that has rejected their advances and the level of male aggression is strongly correlated with their mating success. However, in a unique natural experiment Stanford primatologist Robert Sapolsky observed what developed when the largest and most aggressive males died out in a group known as Forest Troop (because they were feeding at the...

A Modern Sexual-Assault Tale
Man: Hello, I'd like to report a mugging.
Officer: A mugging, eh? Where did it take place?
Man: I was walking by 21st and Dundritch Street and a man pulled out a gun and said, "Give me all your money."
Officer: And did you?
Man: Yes, I co-operated.
Officer: So you willingly gave the man your money without fighting back, calling for help or trying to escape?
Man: Well, yes, but I was terrified. I thought he was going to kill me!
Officer: Mmm. But you did co-operate with him. And I've been informed that you're quite a philanthropist, too.
Man: I give to charity, yes.
Officer: So you like to give money away. You make a habit of giving money away.
Man: What does that have to do with this situation?
Officer: You knowingly walked down Dundritch Street in your suit when everyone knows you like to give away money, and then you didn't fight back. It sounds like you gave money to someone, but now you're having after-donation regret. Tell me, do you really want to ruin his life because of your mistake?
Man: This is ridiculous!
Officer: This is a rape analogy. This is what women face every single day when they try to bring their rapists to justice.
Man: Fuck the patriarchy.
Officer: Word.
Just a thought about the latest on the DSK affair: Your tax evasions don’t matter one flying little fuck in your rape case. If a prerequisite for being a rape survivor were credentials rivaling those of the Virgin Mary, rape would be almost non-existent. The only thing that troubles me is her phone call, but that is it; the income, the criminal connections, the fact that she recanted rape...

On this day in history
On June 9, 1954, Army counsel Joseph N. Welch confronted Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy during the Senate-Army Hearings over McCarthy’s attack on a member of Welch’s law firm, Frederick G. Fisher. Said Welch: “Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?”
We need more sense of decency today.

The Evangelical Adoption Crusade →
A pretty great read on the topic of adoption. This article brings up a lot of issues pertaining to Western entitlement and that pesky white knight complex. I don’t think I’ve ever been interested in birthing children for a myriad of reasons, but I’ve always entertained the thought of possibly adopting one day. I’m not so sure now because the odds of screwing things up seem...
