"Controversial"
So since everything women do that some men don't like gets branded as "controversial," I think we need to turn the tables.
Any time anyone says anything about Jesus or the Bible, that's controversial, because there are plenty of people who don't agree with it.
Any time anyone discusses morality, that's "controversial." Anything about sex including waiting until marriage or not using contraception? "Controversial."
Men not participating in child care? "Controversial."

The REAL "Bubble Test"
Charles Murray (of Bell Curve infamy) has come up with a test to decide if you live in a bubble. Of course the questions assume that the "real Americans" outside the bubble are small town White
people.
So here is my bubble test.
Family and friends
So here is my bubble test.
Family and friends
- Do you have a good friend who is Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, atheist, if you are not one of these? Female if you are male or male if you are female? Black or Hispanic if you are ...
"Distracting" is apparently a female-only characteristic
An assistant principal at the Northwest School of the Arts in Charlotte, NC, had to apologize for implying his female dance students who wear spandex
outside of class were teases and that the consequences were their fault:
"He explained that wearing leotards and tights in public places around the school would motivate the men to rape us," said the petition posted by a student and signed by dozens of others who attended the assembly. "He went on to ...<< MORE >>
Good Men Project goes bad
If you follow the feminist side of the blogosphere you will have already read discussion of the Good Men Project website and its founder Tom
Matlack's article Being a Dude is a Good Thing where he claims women are always
blaming men for everything and always picking on men, and subsequent meltdown over
being called on his trite sitcom assertions without actually producing a ...

Alcohol Prohibition in the US and Women
I started watching the series "Prohibition" on PBS.
Alcohol consumption in the US had always been commonplace, but when the distillation process took hold, those people who used to have low-alcohol beer for breakfast, lunch, dinner and before bed were suddenly getting snockered on whiskey.
And at least at first, drinking this way was almost always done by men. Men were the ones spending their money in taverns, and without their participation in the home's economy, women and ... << MORE >>

Who mugged Chris Hitchens?
There's a saying that a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged. I've wondered for some time, who mugged Chris Hitchens?
And I think it was himself.
He was a tireless, even compulsive, writer. Yet at some point he became tired of writing in support of Leftist views. As his tenure at The Nation came to a close, he lacked inspiration.
An anti-authoritarian, he first applied his talents to the Right, but he also questioned ... << MORE >>

So Long Christopher Hitchens
I went to see him several times and have a couple of signed books.
He was a dick about a lot of things, but he was an intelligent and articulate voice for atheism and mostly quite entertaining. He will be missed, and fuck cancer.

Plan B over the counter for those under 18
As probably everyone knows, US Health and Human Services Secretary Sibelius basically vetoed plan B over the counter for those under 18. The purported reason is
that 11 year olds may not understand the directions, despite a study showing that those 11 to
17 in aggregate actually do understand the directions just fine.

Harassment = Affairs?
I don't know if anyone got this kind of response, but a friend of mine categorized Cain's affair and the harassment as the same thing!
Like "who cares if he had affairs."
As if women's consent means nothing.
Headdesk.

So long Cain
Herman Cain announced he is taking a little time out from campaigning.
So is there any scenario where he comes back? This year?
I can't imagine one.
