Slipped through the cracks

A new men's group fights reverse sexism on campus. Plus: A gay male prom queen and facials with ... human sperm?

The letters thread is now closed.

Eww...

A new anti-oxidant discovered in (that's right!) human sperm is being used for facials. The skin-smoothing process will run you $150 at New York City's Townhouse Spa, but we've heard eternal beauty is priceless.

A friend of mine swears by this, and her skin does look great. (But then again, there wasn't anything wrong with her complexion in the first place.) None of us will kiss her anymore though, blaming the swine flu, but it's really because we picture homeless guy spunk on her face every time we see her. (Sorry, Karen.)

Stupid question--

Why couldn't he be the prom KING?

I know, I thought the gay/queen thing was cute, too--but it's not like he's not a guy just because he's gay.

Oooh, and imagine all those would-be girl prom queens gnashing their teeth over loosing to a guy.

"human sperm is being used for facials"

I hate to break it to you, but it has been used for facials for quite a long time now.

Japanese porn for skincare

I like it.

This is progress?

I thought the whole "gays as third sex" thing was considered bigoted and retrograde? Can't an effete male still be the "king"?

Something Stinks

Stole my joke.

And this is all I need, I will never hear the end of it from my man now. God he better not start trying to make me pay 250 bucks.

No wonder porn stars never seem to age!

I can't help thinkning this is a scam. Of course as a guy I will happily volunteer my services! ;)

No wonder my hands feel so smooth!

Hey, I bet I could do this all night!

"Little Men in Power"

This is what they should be calling the adults in this organization, not the children. Poor insecure little men...

So spunk makes a good facial ointment?

Gee, and all this time feminists have been claiming that the "money shot" to the face is sexist.

To all women

Why pay 250$ for something you can get for free?

No, I'm not offering - my wife would hurt me really bad if I did that - but trust me; most men will give you a free facial. In fact a lot of men will be willing to pay you to give you a facial, but accepting money after getting a facial might get you arrested for prostitution.

So Liz Phair was right

Give it to me, don't give it away

Don't think about what the others say

My skins getting clear, my hairs so bright

All you do is fuck me every day and night

You're my secret beauty routine

Na, na, na, na, what my body has seen

I am lookin' good and I'm feeling nice

Baby you're the best magazine advice

Gimme your hot white cum

Gimme your hot white cum

Gimme your hot white cum

Gimme your hot white cum

*yawn*

Sperm used for facials? Yeah, so? Jeez, we knew about this back in the 70's, for gods' sakes. Xaviera Hollander (who was the one to know, if anyone was) raved about it in her Penthouse colum, and even Jackie Collins included it in one of her books. Yet here's Joe, acting like this is some kind of new thing. Don't any of your writers do any, you know, RESEARCH? *eyeroll*

Oh, and $50 a treatment? Are you nuts? Why would any woman pay that much when any guy will be happy to supply the material free of charge, so long as he gets to have fun doing it?

This is why we should return to single sex colleges

Let the women be educated in their own setting and the men theirs. Then whatever you're complaining about this time will be largely irrelevant.

Maybe it's Mabelline

Using sperm as an ingredient in skin care is not so new. I used to work in the fishing industry in Alaska during the summers, one day I asked why we were saving buckets of salmon milt(or chum cum as we termed it), and was told that "it's sold and used overseas for cosmetics". I thought they were putting one over on me until I did a little research. Alas, they were not. Go ahead, type in "salmon milt in cosmetics" you'll get lots of results.

Men in Power

I work at a major university. If you look at a list of organizations for any campus, you will not find a listing for a society that promotes white unity or male unity, except for fraternities and they are not allowed to be white only. When I was taking a day and a half diversity program, I was told that we didn't need any white organizations because the entire university was a monument to whiteness. I disagree- I think we do need organizations that promote white pride in the right way, and that teach us how to get along in this world where it's okay to slam 'whitey'- don't even get me started on blonde jokes. Yes, white men have been in power for a long time but we all know it's changing. So why not support a group that helps white people learn the new rules in a healthy way.

what on earth is "white pride"????

There is nothing to celebrate - in and of itself - in "whiteness."

Which doesn't mean "white people" shouldn't feel cultural, familial or ancestral pride.

The definition of "whiteness" has changed over time. I am "white" by any census form I would fill out today, but 4 generations ago, my Greek great-grandfather was not considered "white." Four generations before him, my great-great etc Irish grandparents were not "white" either. I can cherish my Irish heritage, or my Greek roots, or my good stalwart Yorkshire forbears who settled her 150 years before the US was born. But I'm not celebrating "whiteness."

"Whiteness" is an absence of any definition, other than "not-black, etc". Who wants to throw a party for that?

To Juliebird

I figured "white pride" was women who are really into semen facials.

In South Korea "White Power" is milk.

I never sensed white power

I sensed RICH WHITE WASP POWER, non gender specific, but nothing called 'white power'

My parents came here with one suitcase, I had to fight tooth and nail for decades to merely reach the level of middle manager. Nobody handed me a fucking single thing because I was a white male.

Millions of white males, truck drivers, assembly line workers, will tell you the same exact thing.

We white men are not second class, we are FIFTH CLASS, after women, children, minorities and pets.

SCREW THAT, I hope guys finally get the nuts up to form so many groups and challenge the evil feminist hegemony that women's heads spin.

WOMEN have ZERO RIGHT to say one damn thing about it as well. Go head your own covens where you gush on senselessly about how men are optional in your lives and tools to be used at will.

As for sperm, it naturally contains antidepressants, which explains most American women and their endless grief binges.
