» The War On Men: 10 Ways Masculinity is Under Attack Alex Jones’ Infowars: There’s a war on for your mind!. Something of a decent point is approached in 8 and 10- those are real issues that should be fixed. Women do get too much of an automatic edge in custody, and male victims of…
Wages rise in Right-to-Work states | Springfield News-Leader | news-leader.com. Interesting points as far as it goes, but many relevant factors are left out. Ok, wages rise faster, at least when compared to local cost of living. But generally, union pay is higher to start with. There’s less room for it to go upwards, so…
Co. blamed for W.Va. spill files for bankruptcy – CBS 5 – KPHO. Things to consider here- Freedom Industries only bought the place last month. That’s making me hesitant to blame them. The previous owners could have concealed problems, not volunteering information and even actively covering up issues to ensure they got their payday. A…
So, there’s this person in the atheist community, Sarah Mayhew, who I only know via reputation. And what I’ve seen, I’m not impressed. Especially not with her latest tweet. First, a little background before I get to her tweet and respond to it. Don’t care if she sees it, sort of piggybacking on some stupid…

So NOM is claiming that Huffington Post admitted they were right. The article “admitting” this? Was in the blog section, which even on HuffPo occasionally gets some batshit loony right wingers posting along side equally loony left wingers and everyone in between. As for what the guy was complaining about, one thing was a legal…
Yes, You’re Sexist is a great twitter feed. They retweet stuff that people say with a disclaimer like “I’m not sexist but…”- they had a great one today. Now, I think there are times when someone might say something more or less ok, but it ends up sounding sexist or racist or whatever. In these…
In reference to- HuffPo- Why Your Daughter Wants To Be a Porn Star Maybe “Because she wanted to be one” was supposed to be #11 and was cut for space? Probably not, what with the bit of slutshaming and prude shaming directed at these parents. Lack of elaboration. Serious lack of citations on most points. These…
