Original article: Engaged and underaged

I am married...

and now know it is the death of freedom and fun. Now with an eight year old child, I'm not going anywhere. DUDES, DON'T GET MARRIED UNTIL YOU ARE AT LEAST 35...AT LEAST. Neadless to say, I didn't read the entire article, because, "Holy wall of words, Batman! My adult ADHD set in after the second paragraph.

My Masculinists Report Card

White House Council on Women and Girls = F

To establish this politically throw away, in the face of the educational crisis that is going on for boys, and a recession that is almost exclusively effecting men, is an insult.

My April 21st Letter to Governor Rick Perry

"To:

The Right Honorable Rick Perry

Governor of the Great State of Texas

In re: Secession

I've heard a report indicating that you believe that succession is a possibility for Texas, because of your concerns about the federal government's bailout of banks. I can certainly understand the anger.

I write to urge you; please have Texas secede. Like all the other states in the south, Texas takes in more money from the federal government, than they pay. Therefore, as a Californian, I am paying part of my tax dollars to subsidize your constituents.

Furthermore, if the Great State of Texas were to secede, what remains of the country could rest assured that the disaster of another Texan as President would have been permanently averted.

Now, I know that the chances of sessesion are small. But as a San Francisco Bay Area resident, I like to keep my thoughts positive.

God bless you. God bless the United States of America; all 49 states of it.

Cordially,

maggie

They are liars

But why? Simple, because if the torture only lasted a few minutes before becoming effective, many Americans would think it is okie dokie. But, if it isn't effective, why promote it? They aren't promoting it, they are defending it. They are defending it because they know very well that if the American people find it repugnant, they will also find it interesting that the techniques championed by the Bush administration came from - well - Israel.

That's right people. The propogandists defending torture are the same Likudniks responsible for propgandizing the Iraq war. Israel practices these torture tecniques regularly. If the American people think it is repugnant, they might start questioning why they are paying five billion a year to a government that not only pratices torture, but sullied the their own government.

@Grungie - Are you serious?

"...As noted in my previous post on gender and unemployment, the current recession is hitting men hard--they've lost four out of every five jobs in the downturn..."

Feminism isn't a religion.

It's more like an ideology. That being said, I think suing because of "ladies night" is a good idea. It's obviously discriminatory. Saying, it benefits the guys is baloney. Especially if you're one of the beta males sitting behind the velvet rope all night. If all bars were not allowed to have ladies nights, they'd have to do something more creative than pander to ugly stereo types.

Here in California, it'll cost the bar/club up to $4,000 a pop in damages to the guy that files the complaint if you refuse to charge him the same amount as the women, or refuse to allow him in under the same conditions.

I'm against thought police

and thought crimes. I don't care how sympathetic the victim. The crime itself is actionable.

These are the types of vague and ambiguous laws that are thrown at unsympathetic defendants. They are used to supress the expression of belief and politcal thought.

What defines a woman?

The simple fact that a girl blossoms, she becomes a woman, with all the rights and priveleges that come with it.

Boys, on the otherhand, will have their manhood questioned for the rest of their lives, mostly by women and feminist apologists.

Don't buy it guys. You're worth is more than your productivity or benefit to the community.

Original article: Is "rape" the new "gay"?

At least 'Rape' is not the new 'black."

Rape is a loaded word, the meaning of which has been devalued by the now very broad defintion of the concept.

Memorable quotes from the Miss USA pageant:

Perez "fruit-loop" Hilton: Your powers are weak, Miss California.

Carrie Prejean: You can't win, Perez. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.

The polls won't hold up

California's polls showed Proposition 8 losing subtantially. It won. In re allowing gays to serve in the military, the poll numbers showing acceptance for it will be mitigated once the opposition starts with, "Should service members be forced to shower with gays/lesbians? Should women be forced to shower with men."

There is plenty of ways to present the question, which will take it out of the comfort zone of average Americans. If there is ambiguity, you lose.

In re "Isn't it pretty to think so"

Ah, The Sun Also Rises. It was a good way to end a book. And I hate Hemmingway.

Lot'sa cartoon porn -

out there. Especially in Japan. Some of it is considered art.

I have a question, why do women writers of Salon love the word "cuckold" so much? It is obviously an insult. What interests me is that when there is an argument that genetics don't make a father, but instead, a father is a function of the social relationship, the word is often used to deride those men who dare complain about being tricked by unfaithful women.

Seems rather counter productive to argue that men should support kids that aren't genetically theirs, and at the same time use a derisive word to describe them.
