Too much what?

Dammit, got out of the boat.

Bonus points for this: “But there are different kinds of premarital sex. There’s sex that’s actually pre-marital, in the sense that it involves monogamous couples on a path that might lead to matrimony one day. Then there’s sex that’s casual and promiscuous, or just premature and ill considered.”

This in the same column where he mentions that BYU kid, kicked out for sleeping with his girlfriend.

Alternate Shorter:

Sex is better when you feel guilty about it.

Now, if Douchehat had said “People are too fucking much” I might have agreed with him for the first and only time.

Ladies! Ross Douthat is concerned about your happiness!

This correlation is much stronger for women than for men. Female emotional well-being seems to be tightly bound to sexual stability — which may help explain why overall female happiness has actually drifted downward since the sexual revolution.

I’m gonna go softly and repeatedly bang my head against a wall now.

For conservatives, that title should be “Why Serial Monogamy Matters”.

Face it Ross, the only time you had a hottie willing to do you, you were to drunk to be done. The only other way was to promise a lifetime of financial security. Don’t you feel like a John on the installment plan right about now?

Fucking too much, how does it work?

And that should have read “a hottie drunk enough to be willing to do you”.

Female emotional well-being seems to be tightly bound to sexual stability

So much for my trapeze idea.

I’m gonna go softly and repeatedly bang my head against a wall now.

Ooooh: a new erogenous zone.

People are fucking too much.

That’s just crazy talk!

Well, if anything could get me to cool down, it’s Ross Douthat and his TOTALLY BENIGN suggestions that maybe women need to quit, you know, wanting things, like sexual fulfillment and careers. Ross Douthat is the coldest shower of all.

“Female emotional well-being seems to be tightly bound to sexual stability

So much for my trapeze idea.”

So you’re saying I shouldn’t send you that sex swing for your birthday?

Social conservatives look at the contemporary sexual landscape and remember that it wasn’t always thus, and they look at current trends and hope that it doesn’t have to be this way forever.

doesn’t he just *blow* his whole point here? or am i reading this wrong?

doesn’t he just *blow*

rule 34…

Shorter Douthat (note I didn’t get out of the boat, so I’m guessing)

If GOD had meant for people to be having all the sexing and such, He wouldn’t have made the act so bloody onerous, distasteful and unpleasant. And no, I’m not doing it rong, U R doin’ it rong.

I prefer twoerous sex to onerous sex.

But even doomsayers get the occasional dose of good news. And so it was last week, when a study from the Centers for Disease Control revealed that American teens and 20-somethings are waiting longer to have sex.

Why, look at that. We’re living in an era of destroyed family values, women wearing pants, kids listening to loud music, people being able to have non-Biblical sex, and all that hedonistic stuff. And yet, in this age of gayness and cultural relativism, people are actually being more responsible?

Color me astonished! Almost as if there really wasn’t a reason to freak out in the first place!

The twoesorous is my favorite dinosaur!

The dinosaur with two backs…

But earlier generations of Americans waited longer to have sex, took fewer sexual partners across their lifetimes, and were more likely to see sleeping together as a way station on the road to wedlock.

Sure. Chalk it up to social pressure that made divorce and remarriage something much more frowned upon and a killer in polite society. Sure there were more lasting marriages, but more of those marriages were unhappy, dysfunctional, and continued to exist simply for the sake of appearances than today. People today actually have a chance to rectify their mistakes. Feature, not bug.

And if monogamy’s so important, you mind telling me why the Bible not only doesn’t require it but actually leans rather heavily in the opposite direction?

American teens and 20-somethings are waiting longer to have sex.

I thought the line outside your mom’s house looked longer lately.

*gag* Douthat talking about sex is a huge sex drive killer.

*gag* Douthat talking about sex is a huge sex drive killer.

Hmm. Do a lot of young people and 20-somethings read Douthat? Cause that might explain things.

Female emotional well-being seems to be tightly bound to sexual stability

It will be Wednesday soon.

Among the young people Regnerus and Uecker studied, the happiest women were those with a current sexual partner and only one or two partners in their lifetime. Virgins were almost as happy, though not quite, and then a young woman’s likelihood of depression rose steadily as her number of partners climbed and the present stability of her sex life diminished.

But which is the cause and which is the effect? Might already depressed people tend to have less stable sex lives rather than having sex with more than a couple people in a lifetime causing depression? Might people with esteem issues have casual sex rather than casual sex causing esteem issues?

But they also see Planned Parenthood’s larger worldview — in which teen sexual activity is taken for granted, and the most important judgment to be made about a sexual encounter is whether it’s clinically “safe” — as the enemy of the kind of sexual idealism they’re trying to restore.

Oh bullshit, like he or any of his lackwit cohort know PP’s “larger worldview.” I don’t, either, but unlike Mr Paid to Write for the New York Fucking Times I did happen to look up whether or not they offer counseling, and they do, like sexual health counseling(including discussing abstinence as a real alternative) and helping parents discuss sex with their kids. Moron.

BTW: there’s a mostly naked, gilded woman at my place. Rule 34 rules!

Shorter Douthat…If GOD had meant for people to be having all the sexing and such, He wouldn’t have made the act so bloody onerous, distasteful and unpleasant.

Are you denying that any sex involving Douthat* would be “bloody onerous, distasteful and unpleasant?”

*Hypothetical, durr…

Wow. I almost feel a bit sorry for someone who so desperately wants to concern troll America’s women parts.

Almost, because any man who can write stuff like this – “Female emotional well-being seems to be tightly bound to sexual stability” – is a giant mysogynist asshole amongst other character defects.

Mark Regnerus and Jeremy Uecker, in their recent book, “Premarital Sex in America.”

Uh huh. Mark Regnerus also firmly believes that young women should marry an old men and fast before their market value declines. I guess that if men marry young they feel trapped and want out, but if women marry young they don’t know what freedom is like so they are happier in the end. Also, older men have more money and are therefore worth more, but older women have wrinkles and belong in the bin out behind the supermarket.

But earlier generations of Americans waited longer to have sex,

The average age of first intercourse is currently 17. The average age for marriage in the 50s was 20. Douthat admits most didn’t wait even then, so the average age can’t have dropped all that much.

The average age of first intercourse is currently 17.

The publicly-claimed average age is 14 for boys, 17 for girls, and 32 for conservatives speaking of their children.

As it was in happier times

The Kinsey site says

I’m not disputing that. I was talking about what is publicly claimed as opposed to discussed in private.

The Kinsey site says 16.9 for boys, 17.4 for girls, 2002 data.

Which is still pretty suspicious. Unless high school senior girls suddenly go all gooey over high school junior boys, there’s still some little-white-lying going on there.

You cannot legislate moral behavior. This has “failure” written all over it for eons. It leads to abuse of power, destruction of liberty and in many cases criminalizes normal human nature. So much for creating jobs and dealing with the economy. Same thing all over again.

So you’re…. for gay marriage then, muffler?

Unless high school senior girls suddenly go all gooey over high school junior boys, there’s still some little-white-lying going on there.

That’s only 6 months difference, but it is also the case DK’s mom totally lies about her age.

“Female emotional well-being seems to be tightly bound to sexual stability

That’s what Ross keeps telling himself as he straps down his “date” so she can’t move.

And I guess I don’t get what you’re saying, N_B; are you implying Douthat et al lie about the data in order to make their case? Because nuh-uh Christians totally don’t DO that.

And I guess I don’t get what you’re saying, N_B

If you listen to teenage boys, they exaggerate downwards to be macho. Teen girls (in my thirty-year-old experience) have pressure to exaggerate both ways, which I’m saying more or less cancels out. Conservatives exaggerate upwards to show how virtuous they are.

Unless high school senior girls suddenly go all gooey over high school junior boys,,,

Not everybody does it for the first time with a classmate. High school girls may be getting boned by college dudes and high school boys are probably fucking your mom.

Data from 2002 is probably outta whack given the internet’s pervasiveness. Are kids more isolated or engaged?

probably

Have you switched to decaf, D-KW? That was so…nice.

Masturbation was a lot less fun with Lynx.

Have you switched to decaf, D-KW? That was so…nice.

True story – I can’t drink decaf. it’s not that I have such a well developed palate that I can tell the difference*. The thing is that I have trained my body to expect caffeine when I taste coffee, and when it doesn’t show up in the blodstream, I feel nauseous and ill – kinda like how I feel when reading a Douthat column.

* Sometimes I can, but I’ve had some really shitty coffee – so usually I don’t think “this is decaf” but rather “this tastes like untreated sewage, I’m glad they watered it down so much.”

I had to do three takes before I realized that the title was not “Why Mahogany Matters.”

re: ,,,these days, of this obscene rock and roll music, with its gospel of easy sexuality and relaxed morality,,,

There’s wiki page with an interesting CDC link.

In US high schools since 1991, # of non virgins decreased. # reporting sex with 4 or moar partners decreased. Condom usage increased.

N_B: “If you listen to teenage boys, they exaggerate downwards to be macho. Teen girls (in my thirty-year-old experience) have pressure to exaggerate both ways, which I’m saying more or less cancels out. Conservatives exaggerate upwards to show how virtuous they are.”

Yep. Although I am but an ancient peasant spinster now, I was once a maladjusted, inadequately socialized, insecure teenage girl, and all the other girls in the dorm had boyfriends or buddies, and they were all having the sex. Everyone but me. So I set out to remedy that situation. I did. It could have been horrible, but luckily it was only mildly unpleasant, and not dangerous.

Well, guess what, readers. I gradually discovered that many if not most of those other girls were either virgins or hesitant rookies, and they were all telling stories because it was 196X* and they thought it was what they should be doing. Silly me.

So yeah. This is way more complicated than simple Q&A. And Doubthat should pop open a great big can of STFU.

*196X covers the years 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, and maybe more.

I believe this should be included in any discussion of teen sex.

Or, just post-adolescent slackers like Matthew McConnaughey in “Dazed and Confused.”

Why McConnaughey Matters?

Sold off my V card as a teenager. Same for my wife. We’re in a happy, stable marriage, all worldly things considered. Douthat is a putz.

And that was actually the first time I’ve ever read the original quote from where we get Chunky Reese Witherspoon. So Ross the Boss gets too wasted to stand at attention, and for that all feminism eternal must be blamed? Oh brother.

Are we discussing a secret, cross-dressing identity or OMG THE MOST DISGUSTING SEX EVER?

Are these mutually exclusive?

I heard that some kinky instructor at a midwestern college demonstrated the use of something called a “fucksaw” on Ross Douthat.

MOAR boring research:

It seems that Douthat’s sources rely heavily on a lazy version of Sexual Strategies Theory to interpret their data. SST emerged from a seminal* study that found that women are less open to random sex with a stranger than men. The theory is (roughly) that women use sex to get security and a long-term relationship, while men just want sex. That is the basis for a lot of grandiose claims that feminism has hurt women, because all they really want is a big house and a husband and now they have hookup culture instead.

Then some hormonal lady sociologist did a new study that tested some of the assumptions of the original. For example, it showed that women aren’t so much averse to random sex as they are concerned that a random propositioning stranger probably woudn’t be good in bed and might be dangerous. Many women are thinking about getting off, they just doubt that some perv on the street can do it for them. Also, in a rape culture, women have to think about being assaulted, while men generally do not.

Sold off my V card as a teenager. Same for my wife.

You sold off your wife as a teenager?

Many women are thinking about getting off

I’ve always said we should expand public transportation.

in a rape culture, women have to think about being assaulted

So it is their fault for dressing like that! I knew it.

So it is their fault for dressing like that! I knew it.

The study also found that heterosexual women are as likely to accept a proposition from a random woman as a random man so uh…. hawt.

You sold off your wife as a teenager?

Hey, I’m just following Ross’ book of choice here.

If we fail to punish young women with babies because they had fucked someone whom they aren’t going to marry very soon, conservatives will feel that such programs as Planned Parenthood and sperm-blocking icky ungodly things (contraceptives) will make conservatives feel that liberals are being cynical.

It’s also what’s at stake in the ongoing battle over whether the federal government should be subsidizing Planned Parenthood. Obviously, social conservatives don’t like seeing their tax dollars flow to an organization that performs roughly 300,000 abortions every year. But they also see Planned Parenthood’s larger worldview — in which teen sexual activity is taken for granted, and the most important judgment to be made about a sexual encounter is whether it’s clinically “safe” — as the enemy of the kind of sexual idealism they’re trying to restore.

Liberals argue, not unreasonably, that Planned Parenthood’s approach is tailored to the gritty realities of teenage sexuality. But realism can blur into cynicism, and a jaded attitude can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Social conservatives look at the contemporary sexual landscape and remember that it wasn’t always thus, and they look at current trends and hope that it doesn’t have to be this way forever.

There is no evidence, zero, that the availability and understanding of contraceptives and embryo removal decrease the rates of unplanned pregnancy or ‘premarital’ sex.

In fact it’s the opposite.

Now, if you weren’t a pathetic right wing dipshit whose job is to play ‘reasonable’ conservative to push the same right wing horse-shit, such evidence would matter as much as your fave survey that women who fucked the right men (the only orienation worth discussing, amirite?) at the right time feel gooder.

Fascinating link, pedestrian, thanks.

Also, too, remember all those studies showing that women pledging their virginity promise for whatever Christian odd types in fact had higher rates of unprotected sex than non-pledgers?

Fucking sluts deserve any punishment they get. Having to have a baby when they didn’t plan it and weren’t properly maritally enchained is the very least they should have to suffer.

They need to remind these unwanted kids when they inevatibly appear that they are beautiful in God’s light but they wouldn’t be here if Mommy hadn’t had to be punished for having had horrified the Divine Creator of the Universe and His Chosen Newspaper Columnists by having premarital relations with a guy she couldn’t actually force to marry her, so please for God’s sake don’t have sex with anyone before you’re married so that you too aren’t suddenly enslaved with one or more of these beautiful, angelic precious creations like themselves.

Fascinating link, pedestrian, thanks.

El Cid, as someone who comes from a fundie background, I think that shame is really the glue that binds it all together. You have to believe that you are utter shit, so that you will give up your autonomy to the collective. Then you can compensate for your humiliation by attacking anyone who still believes in his or herself. Some of the best converts are alcoholics, divorcees, the chronically unemployed, and ex-convicts.

Children pose a problem because they don’t have a personal experience of failure to keep them dependent on the church. Sure, you can raise them to believe that they are sinful, wicked creatures – and for illegitimate children especially, that sometimes provides enough shame. But most kids also go through a “rebellion” phase in which they run away or experiment with drugs and promiscuity and heavy drinking. Of course, they have not been given the emotional tools to exist as autonomous human beings, so most of them suffer a total breakdown before coming back to the church, “born-again”.

I doubt that Ross here is coming from the same socioeconomic milieu, but I believe that Catholicism is also shame-based. Anywho, it isn’t a bug, it’s a feature.

A “chunky Reese Witherspoon” could be very sexy, actually. I wouldn’t use the word “chunky,” of course; Douthat is a cad to use that word and not a nicer one, to commemorate the first (and no doubt last) time he got hit upon by someone fitting that description. I don’t fault him for not sleeping with her. I fault him for thinking that horny girls are bad.

Per Douthat, Planned Parenthood’s “worldview” is seen as the antithesis of conservative “sexual idealism.” Idealism isn’t entirely a bad thing, but conservative sexual idealism most certainly is. Anything good about it already figures into more humane and nuanced views. What’s left is idealism in the worst sense. The ideal of the celibate priest. The ideal of the reformed homosexual. Etc., etc.

Just yesterday I watched Where the Boys Are (on TCM, I think). Ross should have watched it before writing that absurd bit of suckage.

“But there are different kinds of premarital sex. There’s sex that’s actually pre-marital, in the sense that it involves monogamous couples on a path that might lead to matrimony one day.

And Saturday night that’s exactly what they both said.

Then there’s sex that’s casual and promiscuous, or just premature and ill considered.”

As they saw it Sunday morning.

Ooh ooh ooh! Don’t forget about saddlebacking. Also too.

I doubt that Ross here is coming from the same socioeconomic milieu, but I believe that Catholicism is also shame-based. Anywho, it isn’t a bug, it’s a feature.

If I recall correctly, Douthat has a fundie background, and converted to Catholicism, which is why he lacks the joie de vivre which tends to characterise culturally Catholic populations.

Good point. The only way to feel pride, security and self-worth is by melting away into a chosen, sacred, elite mass. Sounds like maladjusted urban teenagers joining a gang.

Outside of religion, it also reminds me of some conservatives who talk about how they used to be liberal before they became conservative, and will expound crazily on the connection between their political “conversion” and their self-worth as human beings.

OTb fuck. What total shitknuckles.

I imagine the fur could be amusing, but those claws have got to hurt.

I thought it was another one of those auto-eroticism things.

Only the topic of boinking could keep a Sadlythread this shockingly on-topic … because frankly Douthat himself is just such a fucking half a thimble of colourless meh. Chunky Reese Witherspoon dodged a major squickbullet there fer shizzle, eh?

Here’s a CRAZY thought: why don’t we let women decide for themselves what is good for them? If serious dating and serial monogamy works for a woman–fantastic. And if fucking the 7th Fleet works, bully for her too. I think we get into a really dangerous area when we decide that all women have the exact same physical and emotional needs. Heck, a woman’s needs may change over her lifetime.

For that matter, couldn’t all these things be said of men? (And, no, I don’t think that men and women have EXACTLY commensurate sexual desires.)

“Social engineering”, one might call it.

Some might even call it the Nanny State!

Here’s a CRAZY thought:

“Frank, would you please pay attention here. What else would I be talking about?”
“Well, they’re bare footed, for one thing.”
“Frank, you’re blind as a bat. Can’t you see that they’ve been doing it, like all morning? Look at that girl, why else would she be laughing so much?”
“Well to be fair Judy, we did it too this morning, remember?”
“Of course I remember. But we didn’t do it all morning long and we didn’t go out in public right afterwards.”
“Judy, the only reason we didn’t go out right afterwards was because I fell asleep… and, don’t forget, you got on the phone while we were doing it, for Chrisakes!”
“That was mother calling Frank, I couldn’t just hang up on her. My god, would you look at that little tramp. She’s all over that boy! I’m good mind to go over there and give her a piece of my mind.”
“I wouldn’t do that Judy. It’s a free world, you know.”
“Uh huh, it’s too free, that’s the problem. Things need to go back to the way they were when we were dating Frank.”
“Judy, honestly, you don’t remember the time….?”
“Shut up Frank, you always like to bring that up..every time we get into an argument you like to bring that up.”
“I didn’t know we were arguing, Judy.”
“Just shut up Frank, just shut up. It’s people like you, permissive people, fast and loose with the sex, willing to do it at the drop of a hat with the first person they run into, people who don’t have any morals at all, they’re the problem in the world today. So just shut up, Frank, I don’t want to hear any more of your sick sex talk.”

I am not a social scientist, and am therefore not qualified to do the work, but if it isn’t possible to show that the study is full of methodological holes and confirmation bias I will eat my hat.

Fortunately I am a fully accredited Social Science-tist and am moar than willing to do some thorough probing on promiscuous women.

The hits just keep coming.

As if you couldn’t tell she was a birther.

Was is a guy who also preferred “Weltanschauung?”

Somewhat related to the notion of when sexual experience begins:

A wise friend of mine once said, “Sex with college boys is a pretty ugly thing, unless you happen to be an older man.”

I should clarify one point from my previous post. I have never, because of my poor choice of genetic material, been so fortunate as to play the role of the “hot piece of ass” in my sociological theory. The word “anecdote” should be understood as “stuff I’ve heard” not “I never thought this would happen to me until…”

“Does anybody who’s not a wingnut use the term “worldview”?”

Yes, if your name is Nancy and if you have made contact:

Nancy Lieder, a self-proclaimed contactee who claims to receive messages from aliens through an implant in her brain, stated that Hale–Bopp was a fiction designed to distract the population from the coming arrival of “Nibiru” or “Planet X”, a giant planet whose close passage would disrupt the Earth’s rotation, causing global cataclysm. Although Lieder’s original date for the apocalypse, May 2003, has now passed, the imminent arrival of Nibiru is still predicted by various conspiracy websites, most of whom tie it to the 2012 phenomenon.

Maybe not, but it doesn’t apply to minorities unless they reach a certain level of the population. That level is not mentioned, however.

In fact, Lugo is a veteran right-wing operative and self-proclaimed constitutional law professor who dazzled the crowd with her knowledge of American’s founding documents: “The Constitution is not supposed to protect a tyranny of the minority,” she exclaimed. ”It is not discrimination to say no when a group is less than one percent of our population.”

Is there a type of horse that is best for eating. An eatin’ horse? I would think that Clydedales might be quite good marinated in red wine

I don’t believe any particular breed is raised for meat, and this article indicates that Italy imports much of its horsemeat from Eastern Europe. The last time I ate horsemeat, I was in Switzerland, and the “country of origin” for the meat was Canada. Hey, who knew that “knacker” was a profession that’s still in demand?

re:How to open Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000

Umm, this is fairly easy to do.

1) Remove battery cover
2) Remove Battery
3) Use small flathead to pry up button plastics (from the palm side of the mouse). There are two hook latch pieces towards the front of the button plastics. Be gentle so as not to crack these.
4) Using a small flathead or exacto knife, remove the slider/glider feet from the botton of the mouse.
5) Use a small Phillips to remove all 4 screws.
6) Remove top cover from bottom base.
7) Scroll wheel is accessible and not locked down, can be easily removed and cleaned (use compressed air inside the rest of the mouse body.

If you really want to, you can take out the small circuit board and look closer at the LED and other components, but there’s not much to these little suckers.

The publicly-claimed average age is 14 for boys, 17 for girls, and 32 for conservatives speaking of their children.

From the description at OUP of the Regnerus & Uecker book:

To better understand what drives the sexual behaviors of emerging adults, Regnerus and Uecker pay special attention to two important concepts: sexual scripts, the unwritten and often unconscious rules that guide sexual behavior and attitudes; and sexual economics, a theory which suggests that the relative scarcity of men on college campuses contributes to the “hookup” culture by allowing men to diminish their level of commitment and thereby lower the “price” they have to “pay” for sex.

Clearly “sexual economics” dehumanizes both men and women equally. Hooray! I’m guessing the book is full of frustrating crap like this layered with questionable research methodology.

Totally. You’re sensitive as shit.

Clarence Thomas Stars in Sexually Charged Memoir
http://www.afro.com/sections/news/national/story.htm?storyid=4210
D.C. Unmasked & Undressed, the memoir of Lillian McEwen, a former judge and ex-girlfriend of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, hits the shelves March 5. But, as the author told the AFRO, this book is definitely not for the G-rated crowd. While the tale chronicles the often painful journey of the writer from the despair of a dysfunctional, abusive home to the travails and triumphs of a Capitol Hill and judicial career, it is a trail marked with sex – lots of it. And Thomas figures prominently – literally and figuratively – in this tale. McEwen gushes over Thomas’ prowess and “fantasy [package],” describing his body as “coffee-bean … velvet-covered cement.”

He was a “national treasure,” she said, one she shared with other women in ménages à trois and in a voyeuristic pleasure palace. And she described her then-lover as being “easily aroused,” with a “strong interest in pornography.”

“…velvet-covered cement…..” Oh for pity’s sake and good night nurse and great Caesar’s ghost. Although I suppose it’s possible for cement to be awesome when covered with velvet, I rather think she’s referring to concrete. And also, yuck, brane bleach pls thx.

“One successful foray ended on the guest bed of a high school friend’s parents, with a girl who resembled a chunkier Reese Witherspoon drunkenly masticating my neck and cheeks. It had taken some time to reach this point–”Do most Harvard guys take so long to get what they want?” she had asked, pushing her tongue into my mouth. I wasn’t sure what to say, but then I wasn’t sure this was what I wanted. My throat was dry from too much vodka, and her breasts, spilling out of pink pajamas, threatened my ability to. I was supposed to be excited, but I was bored and somewhat disgusted with myself, with her, with the whole business… and then whatever residual enthusiasm I felt for the venture dissipated, with shocking speed, as she nibbled at my ear and whispered–”You know, I’m on the pill…”

…sorry. Got carried away.

I mUSt HAve WHiskey or …

Among the young people Regnerus and Uecker studied, the happiest women were those with a current sexual partner and only one or two partners in their lifetime.

So, we’re not talking about all people, or about all young people; just among the young women these guys could get to talk with them about sex.

…a young woman’s likelihood of depression rose steadily as her number of partners climbed and the present stability of her sex life diminished.

Or, her happiness decreased with her increasing inclination to talk with these moralizing male buffoons about her sex life. Go figure.

Original Bobo, aka Thinking Man’s Chunky Reese, today:

Projection is a problem. I’ll take the 5th while I point out the crap that other people believe.

He also, quite typically, manages to offend my people – economists – with a piece of glib douchebaggery to set up the op-ed.

My people did indeed head off in large numbers to the post-Communist wastelands – often at the request of new leaders, but nevermind. How to transition fully nationalised communist economies into market economies seemed like a project where it would be sensible to take advice from my people. My people were, as is usually true, furiously arguing over something quite fundamental – in this case, whether big bang reform (eg Poland) or gradualist reform (eg Hungary) was the better approach.

The Big Bangers won the day with Russia, and we all know that Yeltsin’s oligarchy rigged the transition and cashed in. That however was not the doing of my people, and you’ll be very hard pressed to find any of my people defending Yeltsin, either then or now. There are some who argue that what happened was perhaps better than what looked like the only alternative – no change – but for Bobo to say that my people didn’t acknowledge the inherent institutional and cultural weaknesses in Russia vis a vis market economies is a giant fucking lie. My people differed only in their view on when and how best to develop the intangibles, not on the fact they were weak to non-existent at the time.

I love how Bobo link explains that the individual-centric view of human nature is wrong, and the one that centers on relationships and man as a social animal is right. Wonder how that would square with Ayn Rand’s musings.

On topic: http://wonkette.com/440018/creepy-nerd-gets-all-horny-over-idea-of-monogomy

Wonder how that would square with Ayn Rand’s musings.

Well, this is why we have a pluralistic society that is open to free debate. Some of us will say that man (yes, man!) is a social animal, and the wealthy are the natural patriarchs of our big, happy national family. You wouldn’t expect a father to seriously consider the whims of his bitch and brood, hmmm?

Others will argue that we are individuals, and that rich white men are privileged because they personally earned it, dammit. If anyone else wanted a share of power, well too late.

The great thing about America is that you can have any one of these views.

Ugh, why is Douthat paid to write about people having sex? Probably just to drive us bonkers, the same way David Brooks is paid to write about “what’s cool” and Thomas Friedman is paid to type about the round flat world that baffles him unless he’s golfing.

Oh gawd. That’s neither homoerotic, nor art. We need a new word for when untalented homophobes express their latent homosexuality through shitty, soulless Tom of Finland rip-offs.

Marginally on topic: has anyone ever read this by Douthat? I found it this morning by following a Balloon Juice link to an older article that linked to it. It’s a review by Douthat of a Will Saletan article about racial differences in intelligence, “another issue where the left doesn’t much care for science has to say.”

~

Wow is this a good upper-class twit picture.

Excellent! But it looks like somebody shooped in that topper.

I might be late, but I’m on topic!

Ross makes a big deal about the fact that women who are the most popular have multiple partners are less happy. In the process, though, he also ignores TEH HAWTEST! a pretty major finding of the study:*

[Info showing that women were four times more likely to have had a same-sex partner in their past.]

[…]

“There was speculation that it was possibly just experimentation among college girls but we didn’t see anything to support that,” [said some researcher.] “We saw the opposite. When we look at college-degreed women, they were less likely to report same-sex activity than other educational groups. Among men, there’s more same-sex activity among higher-educated men. And for women, the highest level of same-sex activity was reported by those with less education.”

In other words, Ross and the rest of the “FREEDUM FOR ALL … EXCEPT FOR A WOMAN’S UTERUS AND VAGINA” crowd continue to act as if it’s the sex that makes these women less happy, while never acknowledging that those who tend to sleep around are those at the bottom of the economic scale.

That’s a pretty big data point to just blow off, since having no money tends to give people a sad, and sex is something that feels good. So of course it’s going to be an outlet for some folks with not much else in their lives. Poor people have control over so very little — their income, choices of where to live, etc. But their bodies are one of those things they do, and most of them take that shit seriously. Trust me. Been there, sold the t-shirts, and already spent the money on hookers and blow a nice house in the ‘burbs.

The simple fact is that Ross and those like him are just mad that their chosen religion no longer has control over what people do with their own bodies. They desperately want all of us to be like him, casting out of our beds the Chunky Reece Witherspoons of the world.

What they don’t realize is that Chunky Reece Witherspoons need lovin’ too …

(* Hat tip to Tbogg, who dug into the study much like Ross digging through the twisted remains of logic (which was smote by his douchebaggery) to find a justification for telling women what they should and should not do with their lady parts.)

What they don’t realize is that Chunky Reece Witherspoons need lovin’ too …
As I see it, the chunky woman in question sure dodged a bullet by not sleeping with Ross. I am positive she can do much better.

I read just the other day that the Germans have over 700 words for sexual depravity.

God bless ’em.

I am positive she can do much better.

Even DKW’s mom could do better.

As I see it, the chunky woman in question sure dodged a bullet by not sleeping with Ross.

True, but…

Do we have any reason to believe she actually is “chunky?” She appeared before Ross, inviting and sexual, and perhaps he looked at her body and saw “fat.”

N__B, it’s at least as likely that the lady in question is as real as Tom Friedman’s cabdrivers and David Brooks’ Applebees salad bar.

So, yeah, she dodged a teeny, tiny, smaller-than-a-pellet bullet* on that one.

(* Not-so-veiled microphallus reference.)

Do we have any reason to believe she actually is “chunky?”

Do we have any reason to believe she wanted to bed Ross?

I mean, call me skeptical, but who thinks a drunken fratboy about to see some action with an obviously hawt girl, has his, erm, come to Jesus moment right then? Occam’s Razor says his kit failed and he decided afterwards to blame thank Jesus. More or less.

Or he simply made the whole story up.

Some unfunny, on-topic expounding. Ya know, I’d be equally as butthurt about people telling women that they needed to be sexually available to men 24-7. The reason this kind of thinking offends me so much is because it infantilizes women, pats them on the head and tells them don’t know what’s best for them. Nevermind that most women seem to navigate the world of sex and dating just fine. Some of them even get married, live in houses with white picket fences, have two precious snowflake babies!

This had occurred to me, too. Patriarchal dickweeds are especially unforgiving of any women whose BMI is over 17.

Likewise their age.

There’s no accounting for taste, so that I can believe.

The intertube pr0n has made this unnecessary.

I’ve heard it claimed that the pre-sexual revolution, “prostitutes are a necessary evil because they protect chaste ladies from male urges” society was a golden era of male-male “experimentation”. Then women started to give it away for free and now the straight dudes don’t want us. *sob*

Oh but look, now see who’s irrelevant! First they came for the… say, it reminds me of this old Dilbert.

P.S. We never really wanted grubby breeder dick anyway
P.P.S. Notice how my narrative prioritizes the needs of heterosexual men? That’s because you’re sexist!

I read just the other day that the Germans have over 700 words for sexual depravity.

Unfortunately not covered in undergrad level classes. DAMMIT.

According to his tale she was drunk, which is the only thing about that story that sounds real. Well, that and the facts that BEWBS turn him off and he can’t get li’l Ross up.

What really happened

Holy shit. Loverboy is playing the Krewe de Orpheus’ post-parade musical shindig. Not sure what to think about that.

Louisiana honors its Canadian heritage. From Acadia to Cajun country… n’oubliez jamais!

Hee hee!

Well, not undergrad German classes!

But there’s a difference: jihad does not come with a homoerotic T-shirt.

Fuck it, my plot to bomb the Applebee’s salad bar is OVER!

n’oubliez jamais!

I owe Jamaica what, now?

A post at The Corner I can recommend whole-heartedly. Watch the video.

The problem with the rapping music is that the beats are so simple.

I hear that Blackie Pee group and it doesn’t make sense.

the beats are so simple.

but the names are too complicated

“Rep. Hulsey’s office and Senator Risser’s office confirmed they did not let Meade in and offered no pass for Althouse.” – Abe Sauer Fri, Mar 4, 2011 at 8:44 AM To: annalthouse@gmail.com

I went in and spoke directly and in person with Hulsey’s and Risser’s offices yesterday. Either they lied when they told me they never give out personal information about constituents, or Abe Sauer dissembled when he stated the above and I’m 99% sure that the representatives’ offices did not lie to me.

Meade (IF that is your real name!), I think I am being charitable when I say that I’m 99.44% sure that both you and your wife are very silly people.

JESUS!

You know, at the NRO, the proper answer to the math problem would actually be:

REAGAN!

Can I get a mulligan?

Either they lied when they told me they never give out personal information about constituents

“We didn’t give tickets to so-and-so” is not personal information. “We didn’t give out any tickets because we didn’t have any” is even less so.

Meade’s gonna keep on digging anyways, because there’s got to be a pony somewhere down there in all that horse poop.

I’m half tempted to see if it works.

He’s not to bright, and I imagine he pictures himself a “Sir Lancelot”, defending the honor of his chunky (had to get back on topic), wine-sodden Gwenhyfar.

Uh… “not too bright”- ignore the man behind the cretin!

Oh hooray: NPR pre-emptively folds to James O’Keefe. Where have I seen this before?

New thread upstairs. Of course. Now that I’ve caught up with this one.

I read just the other day that the Germans have over 700 words for sexual depravity.

My grandmother from the Old Country spent her declining years teaching the worst German obscenities she knew to the young Smut, so that I would know what to say if I ever met a member of the SS or Hitler Youth.

So far my applications for an interview with the Pope have been rejected.

As if we needed more proof there is no god.

Danish is of course a pure and high-minded language with no obscenities of its own, so this is why Danes borrow all their swearing from teh German.

Just when I was gonna punch some stupid bitch in the face (be it man or woman) I can go to bed………. from my second job, a happier girl. And yes, sex is better when you feel guilty about it.
