Database of the degraded
After hours of scheming how we could dupe our realty company tomorrow for April Fools Day, my roommate and I decided the best way to make them not want to show our apartment anymore, and thus leave us alone for once, would be to disperse porn all over our living room floor.
“But where can we […]
Props to Mariela Castro
With Raul Castro in the hot seat, and his daughter Mariela the head of the National Sex Education Center in Cuba, good things are happening for the Cubans that probably won’t happen in the States until a black man and a white woman running for the presidency is not such a big deal.
M. Castro has […]
Feminism: it won’t even let you enjoy a good movie…
One of the things “white people like” are Wes Anderson movies. Well guess what, ya.
After what seemed like forever, I finally was able to view The Darjeeling Limited last night. I knew I would like it because I had heard the music from the film (a sitar player myself, I much enjoy what Westerners have […]
The “Christian values” couple pedestal
Unfortunately I will have to make another post about the Freis’ from Here Come the Newlyweds.
The show itself allows both genders to fall into blatant stereotypes. One activity the couples had to participate in included the husbands guessing what flaws the wives felt they had about their bodies because, of course, women are always self-conscious […]
Texas women the morning after
Getting the morning-after pill just got a whole lot easier.
Sure, the law states that Plan B is available over-the-counter for those 18 & up, but if familiar with those good ol’ Texas pharmacists who have the idea emergency contraception=abortion and refuse it, this website exists just in case, for that case.
By clicking what area you […]
UT gender study tells us what we know
In a study conducted by University of Texas psychology professor David Buss, we learn that what we had suspected was right: men think they can get any woman they want.
Although, the study actually highlighted women’s selectivity in choosing a mate (to which the published article consequently bore the title “Do Attractive Women Want it All?”), […]
Let’s get together, ya ya ya
It may just be the liberal insanity of Austin, Texas, or it could be a lot of America–ask someone who they want for president and the common answer is either Obama or Clinton.
And it’s a standard answer–but let’s say I asked this last election, or the election before. It seemed that the disparity between […]
The depreciation of the dollar vs. the depreciation of a human below the equator
Every day we fret about the dollar, but some things have gotten cheaper, not more expensive.
That would be a human life. In the 1850s, a slave would cost around $30,000 to $40,000 (adjusted for inflation). Today, the average cost of a slave is a trip to the grocery store: 90 bucks.
That would be, 90 […]
U.S. government, can you tell me about the birds and the bees now?
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention released a study last week–the first study of its kind–stating that 1 in 4 teenage girls have a sexually transmitted infection (the most common being genital warts-associated HPV).
That would have been 700 girls in my high school. That would have been 160 in my graduating class.
That is 3.2 […]
