  • The Over-Extended Ovary: A Male Primer on the New American Woman

    She says: "You cook really well."

    She means: Occasionally I make spaghetti from a can -- but mostly I just nibble on salad from Cosi.

    You say: "Thanks, I enjoy it."

    You mean: Four hundred dollars worth of non-stick saucepans and stainless silverware will be worth it if I finally get laid.

  • Why were my posts deleted?

    Did they offend the Politburo?

  • Deleted Posts

    [Read the article: Hair removal for the preteen set]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    It seems that if one posts content that does not meet the Salon Party's standards it is deleted.

    This is a rather disappointing practice for a "salon" -- a place where ideas are supposed to flow freely.

    What a joke.

  • Why was I banned?

    [Read the article: Bringin' home the bacon, but no boyfriend]

    I am still trying to find out why I was banned from posting letters. Seems like brightstar65 is a lot more off-topic and nasty than I ever was. Why is it that Salon will send a threatening letter to me by email but not explain their actions. Anyone??????????????????

  • Another Feminist Flops Into the Pink Slop Pot

    [Read the article: The feminist who made me blush]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    The intellectual feminist who sells out her sex life for a bit of low-brow fame and maybe enough for a kitchen renovation is the same as the partying college girl who sells her pussy on a web-cam for a bit of net infamy and a pair of new Blahniks.

    Both are total sell outs.

    Why?

    B/c they make themselves the object of the leering online peeping toms who are only interested in just how degenerate they will get. It is the depth of their depravity that intrigues the reader. It is how much they cried and drank and puked in the bowl that we want to know. How many blow-jobs they did or didn't do is what gets mentioned. It is the same close-in shot of heart-break and angst that sells the Reality Show.

    All of which has NOTHING to do with their brains. And everything to do with their humiliation.

    This in a nutshell is the basic argument against porn, which features women in unpleasant, powerless positions, taking it hard up the ass or down the throat, and trying not to vomit or get any cum in their eyes.

    And what is suggests to me is that feminists are on their last legs. They aren't making it with the serious talk. So they are selling their credibility for a little more cash.

    Don't believe me? Just imagine if we got a sex tape of Hillary Clinton doing it doggy style. I am willing to bet that would be the world's biggest hit ever. Simply b/c that would be the humiliation of the world's most powerful woman.

    Lucky for the feminists, Hillary hasn't sold out . . . yet.

  • Leave it to a woman . . .

    [Read the article: Men on eHarmony seem obsessed with women who are "clean"]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Man: "I'd like a clean woman."

    Woman: Oh my god, he won't give me oral sex!!! (Closes the match.)

    Man: Was it my picture?

    ~

    No wonder eHarmony never works. Men say what they want. And women follow that from point A to point B to arrive at a point roughly adjacent to the star cluster Alpha Centauri.

    If only space ships could travel so fast.

    The ironic ending, of course, is that LW will meet a guy who doesn't require cleanliness, and as she navigates past the rotting garbage, dirty dishes, stinking laundry, and moldy shower curtain, she will suddenly say to herself, "I must have a clean man."

  • What a damn good piece of writing . . .

    [Read the article: Middle age threw me a wicked curve]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    My dick has long had a curve in it. I am sure it's something I did to myself as an overly self-adventurous child. That on account of a pigeon chest and skinny legs.

    Anyway, I am glad you are out there, man, taking your meds and registering mild shock and outrage at every new day.

    In the end we are all afflicted, one way or another, with age. It's the ultimate incurable human condition. But if wit be a balm, you are a healer indeed.

  • Well, you showed us the big fat hole in the O's

    [Read the article: The Breakfast Liberation Front]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Glad to see I'm not the only one who gave up on O's and flakes! Here are some additional suggestions for a "real" breakfast:

    - Steamed yam w/butter (fiber, nutrients, fat)

    - Can of sardines (protein, fish oil)

    - Boiled egg with oil and vinegar (protein)

    - Fresh fruit (fiber, nutrients)

    - Hot oatmeal (fiber)

    - Can of turkey, shrimp or chicken
