One study, two spins (with one attacking abstinence)

The CDC did a study about teen sexuality. Here’s how The Telegraph, a leading British news paper spun it:
American teenagers are having less sex, doing fewer drugs and drinking less alcohol than those who grew up in the 1990s, according to a new study.
Amid growing concern about teenage behaviour in Britain, the report by [...]

History repeats itself

Masturbation has been a staple of R or X-rated humor for a long time. Other than that, being a solo activity, it hasn’t had much of a public life — or so I thought until this morning. In keeping with the posts I did about the Bacchanal that San Francisco’s venerable Bay to [...]

My take on the youth sex culture in America *UPDATED*

Soccer Dad, who has a wonderful blog here, sent me a nice email agreeing with the points I made in my Biology will have its way post. He added an anecdote about Planned Parenthood: “The archdiocese of Baltimore announced that it would pay for counseling for women who had undergone abortions. Planned Parenthood [...]

Biology will have its way *UPDATE*

One of the things the feminists insist upon is absolute equality, whether that means depriving men of the opportunity to participate in college sports simply because there aren’t enough women to create parity, something that’s now being done in the sciences as well; or allowing women to engage in sexual activity as if they were [...]

It makes the head spin

Tell me honestly — how are the state prison systems supposed to deal with the following true scenario?
The person at issue was born a man, and started taking hormones to feminize his appearance. At some point, he committed a crime and ended up in California’s state prison system. He continued to be given [...]

What’s in a name?

My son asked me how Valentine’s Day began. I explained that, a long time ago, there was a man named Valentine who was known for his kindness to young couples who wished to get married (and he may have given doweries to poor girls so they could marry). He was also a Christian [...]

Sad and creepy, but is it news?

I wasn’t quite sure what to make of a story out of England, which documents how a hospice patient in a Nun-run hospice got help from the hospice to obtain a prostitute so he wouldn’t die a virgin:
A young disabled man who receives care for his life-limiting illness at a hospice run by a [...]

Sick, sick, sick, sick, sick

…and I’m not talking about the kid whose conduct triggered this story:
A four-year-old hugged his teachers aide and was put into in-school suspension, according to the father. But La Vega school administrators have a different story.
Damarcus Blackwell’s four-year-old son was lining-up to get on the bus after school last month, when he was accused [...]

The decline and fall of just about everything

I don’t have time to comment on this article but, really, after you’ve read it, you’ll know there is nothing left to say…. except don’t send your kids to Columbia U.

London’s changing face

My husband and I started watching Prime Suspect when it first appeared on American television and liked it enough to keep watching it every time episodes showed up.  It’s a very gritty crime drama (the producers love showing partially decomposed women’s corpses) that follows the unlovable but effective DCI Jane Tennison.  The first episode, back [...]

A truly terrible idea

Transgender men — that is, men who live their lives as women even though they haven’t had sex change operations — can now use the women’s restrooms in the New York subway:
The line for the girls’ room just got longer. Men who live as women can now legally use women’s rest rooms in New York’s [...]

The politics behind Mark Foley’s exposure

As more facts and counterfacts dribble out regarding Mark Foley, I’m slowly getting a handle on a bigger picture. Here’s what I see:
Foley was, until recently, a closeted gay. As of about a year ago, the Republican leadership knew that Foley had sent emails to pages. The emails were awkward and bland, [...]

A slight retreat to sanity in California schools

The Terminator, merely by raising his eyebrows, managed to get the California legislature to back down on a bill that would have required all California textbooks, starting in first grade, to include materials focusing on famous homosexuals — not because of their fame, but because of their homosexuality. Instead, it retreated to something much [...]

No pretty women here

I hated the movie Pretty Woman. While critics — and my friends — were raving about a charming Cinderella story, I saw a movie that glamorized prostitution and gold digging. Blech. To me, it was a totally amoral story. I was reminded of it today, though, when I read this incredibly [...]

Higher education redux

I could — as others already have — devote my blog to portraying the insanity that passes for higher education at so many American Universities and Colleges.  I've opted not to, since there are other things I want to maunder on about here.  Nevertheless, occasionally something going on at one of these "education" factories catches [...]

Sex education

A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about a book called Female Chauvinist Pigs (see here), a book about how modern feminism has imposed on girls and women a view of sex and sexuality that is utterly devoid of self-respect and love. It was a profoundly depressing book. What's stayed with me since [...]
