Society’s Screwed Up View of Women. This is Getting Ridiculous.

With the media busy applauding itself for changing their criticism of women’s physiques, it’s easy to overlook the fact that it’s a load of crap. We haven’t advanced. There have been no breakthroughs. Publicly berating a pig…I mean CEO repeatedly in a week really only gives his company free press and heightens the already-annoying superiority … Continue reading →

Rumors of War.

In all the post-election chaos, I have to say the reporting by some of my most relied-upon news sources has disappointed me, to say nothing of the mass media that has turned sucking into a trophy sport.
