Teen Feminists Face Hate Campaign of Their Own Imagination

No one denies that women face difficulties in modern life, but achieving full equality isn't one of them.

A few anecdotal examples of idiot boys saying mean things and acting like untrained children is not evidence of a "hate campaign" against women.

But see Jinan Younis, at Guardian UK, "What happened when I started a feminist society at school."

Also, from Jill Filipovic, "Serena Williams, like the rest of us, lives in a woman-hating world."

We live in a political and cultural climate that is hostile to women and still toxic for rape victims. Just listen to Rush Limbaugh.

Disagreeing with women is sexism.

Okay. Got it.

"The 'consent' that is truly at stake here is the consent of the governed, for which Americans once fought a revolution..."

Wow!

Robert Stacy McCain's posted an epic update on the left's monstrous Kaitlyn Hunt statutory rape controversy.

See, "She Blinded Me With Pseudo-Science."

Great work.

Michael Douglas Backs Off Claim of Oral Sex Throat Cancer Cause

Here's this morning's New York Post, "Michael Douglas: Oral sex gave me cancer."

He's trying to back out of the claim now, but the Guardian UK has him pinned down, "Michael Douglas cancer oral sex claim: transcript and audio":

A spokesperson for Michael Douglas has claimed that the actor did not say his particular cancer was caused by oral sex. Here is the relevant audio and transcript to prove that he did...

Men Fake Orgasm? 'A quickened pace, a few moans, dramatic thrusts and a hasty retreat and most women, apparently, are none the wiser...'

Well, this is interesting.

At London's Daily Mail, "Could you tell if your man faked an orgasm? Shockingly, it's not as easy as you might think..."

Faking it just ain't happening in my experience.

Never heard of it. Must be a left-wing metro-sexual thing?

Or a crossover homosexual thing, the freaks. Yeah, those YMCA boys probably fake it all the time to keep their homo lovers from going all psycho. Wouldn't want to be strangled with some hardcore bondage gear or anything, that's for sure. Better to do the quick thrust thing and fake being all hot and bothered.

Jenny Erikson A-Okay With Victoria Secret for 'Tween' Girls

The Internet is a big place and as much as you think you're on top of it, you're not. I'm reminded of this cold, hard fact with the story of "mommy blogger" Jenny Erikson, who I met a few years back when Robert Stacy McCain was in town for the Rose Bowl.

See Jenny's piece at Cafe Stir, "Victoria's Secret's New Teen Lingerie Is Something All Moms Should Be Happy About."

I guess that caused a backlash, because she's been on ABC News a number of times since that was published last month, as recently as yesterday morning, during Good Morning America. Here's an earlier segment of her interview:

And here's some of the online responses, "Outrage Grows Over Mom’s ‘Victoria’s Secret’ For Young Daughter," and "Mom Blogger Inspires Wrath of Nation Advocating Victoria’s Secret for Tweens."

And more television, at Inside Edition, "Uproar Over Mom Permitting Victoria's Secret Underwear For Daughter When She Becomes a Tween."

Jenny's a tea party conservative and I think her responses are pretty hip and knowledgeable. I don't have girls so I can't make an immediate parenting connection. Let's just say I won't be buying my youngest son Maxim Magazines for a few years yet. But my oldest boy is 17 now and he's pretty much on his own when it comes to this stuff. He'll be 18 next January, so the final legal decisions on all the big sexuality stuff will be out of my hands. I think Jenny's a good mom, and super involved. If an inner-city black woman had become an Internet sensation over this we'd be seeing outcries of RAAAAACISM from the deep benches of the radical left's victimology industry.

Lena Dunham: Nudity on 'Girls' Not Meant to Shock

Here's Dunham in an interview on CBS News, "Lena Dunham on 'Girls': Nudity not meant to shock." Well, maybe "nudity" on "Girls" isn't meant to shock in general, but Lena Dunham nude is rude. Shockingly rude. She's a skanky wench. (Remember, I watched it, despite the vocal warnings of R.S. McCain.)

"We have this insane culture in which girls who don't, you know, look like "Gossip Girls" are put into, like, sweaters and nightgowns to sleep in..."

Actually, Ms. Dunham, you need to be put in sweaters and nightgowns. Eww, skank. Freakin' gross.

Sex Scandal Engulfs Liberal Democrats' Nick Clegg

This is pretty big.

At London's Daily Mail, "Sex scandal engulfs Clegg: At least 10 women claim the Lib Dem's Chief Executive molested them - and the leader's office knew about it."

The Deputy Prime Minister has been dragged into the sex scandal surrounding a top Liberal Democrat accused of molesting women.

Amid mounting claims of a cover-up, it emerged Nick Clegg’s private office was made aware of the claims as long as five years ago.

Aides to the Lib Dem leader refused to say how much he knew about the allegations that former party chief Chris Rennard had groped a string of female activists. But last night, evidence was growing that senior party officials ran an organised campaign to silence the women and shut down an internal investigation.

More at Telegraph UK, "Chris Huhne’s lover Carina Trimingham sold tale of Nick Clegg dalliances," and at the Sun, "Nick Clegg caught up in top Lib Dem sex allegations scandal."

Ignore Lena Dunham's 'Girls' at Your Own Peril, Conservatives

Well, I watched if for myself, despite R.S. McCain's warnings.

But see Kurt Schlichter, at Big Hollywood:

There’s plenty about Girls to annoy conservatives, yet this often creepy, usually skeevy, critically-acclaimed HBO series is also a test for conservatives.

Will we finally heed Andrew Breitbart's warnings about the importance of taking pop culture seriously or just keep fiddling as the culture burns?

If conservatives are going to be in the popular culture – and act to change it – they can’t simply ignore shows like Girls that capture the zeitgeist, even if the zeitgeist makes their skin crawl. Season two is well under way, and conservatives need to participate in the discussion.

Women Sue Explicit 'Revenge Porn' Site After Jilted Lovers Anonymously Posted Revealing Pictures of Them

Well, it's a meat market out there.

At London's Daily Mail, "'Ex'-plicit 'revenge porn' site that allowed jilted lovers to anonymously post revealing pics of their former girlfriends is facing class-action suit."

'I am so glad I am not a young woman in America in 2013. If you are not a slut, any real social life is tough...'

From Pamela Geller's essay, "New York Times Declares Victory in Feminism's War on Love and Romance."

And then head back over to The Other McCain, ICYMI, "Nobody Really Likes @LenaDunham, and Deep Down Inside She Knows It, Too." (And by the way, I watched the second season's premiere of "Girls." It's slut culture, grind culture, and Lena Dunham takes her clothes off, a lot...)

The Interview interview is here: "Lena Dunham":

"I think that I may be the voice of my generation—or, at least, a voice of a generation," declares Hannah, the aspiring writer protagonist of Lena Dunham's new series, Girls, which premieres this month on HBO and revolves around a group of four young women living in New York as they fumble their way through twenty-something life in the greater post-recessionary Manhattan area.

We're doomed.

Howard Stern Slams Lena Dunham

This is interesting because I was just reading about Lena Dunham at the Los Angeles Times, "Review: Lena Dunham's 'Girls'."

"Maybe I'll check it out," I was thinking to myself. So now here comes Robert Stacy McCain reporting on Howard Stern smacking down the grind culture celebrity, "Nobody Really Likes @LenaDunham, and Deep Down Inside She Knows It, Too."

Anyway, if you know somebody like Lena Dunham, you understand what she’s doing: “I’m fat and ugly and unpopular, but maybe if I add ‘cruel’ and ‘obnoxious’ to the list, I can pretend like people who don’t like me are intimidated by my intelligence and courage.” This isn’t really an effective compensation, but it provides her an excuse — a rationalization, a defense mechanism — she can alternately cling to as a crutch or wield as a weapon, harming others without actually helping herself. The damage is never healed, because her inner feelings of worthlessness are so intense, she scorns as contemptible anyone who wants to help her: “If you like me, there must be something wrong with you.”

Fabian Thylmann and His Revolutionary Porn Business Model

Well, there's obviously no slack in demand.

At Der Spiegel, "Harnessing the Internet: The German Porn King's Revolutionary Model":

When German national Fabian Thylmann was arrested, he became known as the king of the porn industry. His sex company operates like a modern corporation, silently and digitally. He has become a major presence on the Internet, much like Amazon and Wikipedia.

Interesting.

The guy's happily married as well.

Some of those photos at the story are NSFW.

'My First Time'

At Twitchy, "Obama’s creepy ‘My First Time’ ad has conservatives asking, what about my first job?"

Creepy, yeah. I just didn't realize Lena Dunham was so scuzzy.

Watch it: "Obama campaign — Young female voters should lose voting virginity with Barack (Update – Did Obama copy Putin ad?)." And: "Is the Obama campaign taking commercial ideas from Vladimir Putin?"

Silvio Berlusconi Denies Having Sex With Karima el-Marough

Right.

Because you know he'd never do something like that.

At the Los Angeles Times, "Berlusconi denies sleeping with teen, says parties weren't sexual":

ROME -- Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi told a Milan court Friday that he had never had sex with an underage Moroccan girl and that the so-called "bunga bunga" parties with sexy games and stripteases at his home were instead lively dinners followed by amusing shows in his private theater.

Berlusconi, 76, also told the court that he had never pressured police to release Karima el-Marough, the Moroccan teenager also known as “Ruby Heart-Stealer,” when she was arrested in May 2010 on suspicion of theft.

The former leader is accused of paying for sex with el-Mahroug, a sometime nightclub dancer, when she was 17, and of abuse of power for allegedly asking police to release her to one of his aides rather than to foster care where she might divulge details about his parties. El-Mahroug has also denied having sex with Berlusconi.

In what the Italian trial system allows as “spontaneous” remarks, Berlusconi spoke uninterrupted for more than an hour to say that his dinner parties were convivial occasions where guests spoke about politics, sports, told some jokes and listened to music.

“I can say with absolute tranquillity that there was never anything of a sexual nature” during the now-legendary evenings, he said, which often ended with entertainment that was “never vulgar or scandalous.”

Jennifer Garner: My Husband's a 'Wonder Sperm Kinda Guy'

Ms. Garner's hubby is Ben Affeck, and she's pleased as punch that his boys can really swim.

See Babble, "Jennifer Garner Talks About Ben Affleck’s “Little Swimmers”." (Via Instapundit.)

I remember watching Jennifer Garner opposite Benjamin Bratt on "Law and Order" years ago, before she was starring in movies. She's got a lovely down home style, almost a schoolgirl-ish thing, although she's 40 now --- and obviously still quite fertile herself.

Helen Gurley Brown, Former Editor-in-Chief of Cosmopolitan, Dead at 90

The New York Times reports, "Helen Gurley Brown, Who Gave Cosmopolitan Its Purr, Is Dead at 90" (via Memeorandum). And at Blazing Cat Fur, "Helen Gurley Brown, longtime Cosmopolitan editor, dies at 90."

You can't miss Cosmo at the supermarket check-out lines.

And I can remember, when I was younger, my sisters usually had some copies of Cosmo around the house. I think it's basically an institution, more so than perhaps any other women's magazine.

It's interesting, though, that a lot of conservative women who comment here revile Cosmo. I've posted a couple of Cosmo covers as Rule 5 entries and those seem to generate comments on how vile the feminist movement has become regarding the sexual liberation of women. And there was an essay out a few days ago from Emily Esfahani Smith, who just hammers the magazine, "Cosmo Magazine’s “Wholesome Values”." There's no key pullout quote (the piece itself is mostly quotes) but the bottom line is "wholesome values" for Cosmo is sex, and lots of it.

Clicking over at Cosmo's homepage bears it out, for example, "How to Find Your G-Spot," and "75 Crazy-Hot Sex Moves." According to Esfahani Smith, Helen Gurley Brown laid out a philosophy of sex for the magazine. The magazine ostensibly pushes sex within relationships, between a woman and her boyfriend and between man and wife, and plenty of it, carefree and wild. (And not between two men or two women, thank goodness!) But Esfahani Smith doesn't buy it: "Are these seriously what pass for wholesome values these days?" And she's got a post from April on Cosmo's "values" as well, "“The” Sex Issue of Cosmo." Lots of recent Cosmo covers at that link. Personally, I was a little surprised when Selena Gomez made the cover of the March issue. She's 20 years-old now, so that's fine. The problem is that Selena still appears on Disney Channel's "The Wizards of Waverly Place." I'd expect a lot of parents might find contradictory messages between what Cosmo's selling and that of Disney. (And that reminds me, Scott Eric Kaufman libelously attacks conservative Rule 5 bloggers for alleged pedophilia should they post pics of those so-called 20 year-old "underage" hotties, the f-king loser.)

In any case, I'm not hung up on the feminist angle. It's up to parents to police their kids, and I'm against teens having sex until they're 18 years-old --- and for the record, I have a teenager who goes by that rule.

Oh, and that's Ashley Greene at the picture above, on the August cover. The Daily Mail had pics of her the other day, "How low can you go... Ashley Greene shows off her ample cleavage in a black maxi dress."

Western Nevada College Professor Requires Students to Masturbate in Order to Pass 'Human Sexuality' Class

And that's bad enough.

Students also have to reveal their most private sexual fantasies.

See Robert Stacy McCain, "Professor Pervo’s Subsidized Wanking Class and the Higher Education Bubble."

RELATED: At Blazing Cat Fur, "The Latest in Teacher Resource Kits: It's The Ejac-O-Matic!"

That's out of Britain, but the U.S. can't be far behind. I mean, really, it's got artificial semen to make those ejaculating condom demonstrations virtually the real thing!

Yay progressives!

And by the way, everyone's plugging the Higher Education Bubble, and ain't it the truth?!!

Women Are Looking for Sex, Not Status

Well, bringing you the important news.

At Telegraph UK, "The days of women aiming to marry 'above their station' are over - and it's good news for all concerned, says Cristina Odone":

When a prosperous bachelor appears within a five-mile radius, I go into Mrs Bennet mode. I cluck, I plot, I schedule dinners and Sunday lunches. My match-making focuses on marrying off my women friends to the best possible man: preferably solvent, well-bred and amusing. In the process, I’ve tried to push together the most unsuitable of singles: the City workaholic and the ski bum; the tweed-clad grouse-slaughterer and the vegan Fair Trade nut.

Now, however, I can scale down my ambitions. A new study shows that women are in fact perfectly satisfied with men of their own standing. The watershed year, apparently, was 1970: whereas women born in the post-war decades aspired to marry up, those born more recently no longer seek to star in their own rags-to-riches fairy tale. Their ambitions are for their own careers, salary, and pensions. Put crudely, what they want from the men in their lives is not a leg up, but a leg over.

The role model here is not Kate Middleton, but Zara Phillips. When Princess Anne’s daughter wed a middle-class rugby player, she showed what I took to be a refreshing indifference to status. In truth, she was part of a trend. Kate, who improved her standing by marrying Wills, is the old-fashioned type; Zara, a top sportswoman, needs no man to lift her out of her circumstances. She took on Mike Tindall not to raise her status, but to set her pulse racing.

And actually, nowadays, at least in the U.S., it's the women who're better educated and more successful. So, if we can generalize some of the findings, things should be looking up for the guys on this side of the Atlantic.
