I understand that women do contribute in war and to the active duty force, but I don't understand the point of this article, if there is one.  This passage in particular:


"The American public is beginning to realize that women are playing an equal part in this war and that they are facing the same risks," says Duckworth, who lost both legs in the 2004 insurgent attack. "This is the first time in our nation's history ... when it's normal to see female names as part of the war wounded or those killed in action."



(For OIF only)

Males killed thus far in action:      2822  (%97.6)
Females killed thus far in action:  68      (%2.4)


Huh?

"We now know women can hold their own, they're brave, they do have the physical and mental stamina to face combat-like situations," says retired Navy Capt. Lory Manning, director of the Women in the Military Project at the Women's Research and Education Institute in Washington, D.C. "We now know that men don't go to pieces and the American public doesn't go to pieces if women are killed. And we know that women, in fact, can defend men."

Manning says that represents a change in perceptions.

"I used to get a lot of guff that women can't do this, that women are weakening the military, women are feminizing the military -- that's gone with the wind," she says. "The debate about whether they belong there seems to be over."



From the sane side of the argument:
"
Martin van Creveld, a prominent military historian and Iraq war critic, argues the contribution of females in the conflict has been dramatically exaggerated. "They're not occupying any particularly important positions or fighting in the front ... If there were not a single woman (deployed), the war would be the same," he says."

Jessica Valenti, on "Huffpo" sounds off:

"The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is a tremendous feminist success story. The legislation, which was passed in 1994 and reauthorized in 2000 and 2006, allows for $3.9 billion in funding to help survivors of intimate partner violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Feminists were the driving force behind the drafting and passage of VAWA--it's our baby.

So you can imagine my disappointment when I found out the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) (where VAWA lives) is going to be run by yet another wacky Bush appointee.

Mary Beth Buchanan, US Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, is set to be OVW's Acting Director."


Only one person in the 44 comments seems to realize VAWA for what it is....a business.

Just when you thought it was not possible for our institutions of higher learning to embarrass our nation any further, from the people who brought you Womens Studies, here come "fat studies":


http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/26/fashion/26fat.html?ei=5090&en=3f0b85a6db5b71a8&ex=1322197200&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss&pagewanted=all


I don't have time to go into how stupid and destructive this will be to our nation, but I do want to say, if you are obese, like the majority of our population is, you are most likely choosing to be obese.  It is an antisocial and self-destructive act, and is not too far removed from shooting up drugs in a bathroom stall.  All of the women pictured in that link clearly could lose weight if they wanted to.  They don't.  They enjoy their victim status too much to lose it.  This is so pathetic.


If you are obese and are reading this, I invite you to:


Drive to Wal-Mart.  Buy a package of multi-vitamins and about $25 worth of bottled water.  Starting tommorow morning, take a vitamin and drink 1 gallon of water a day.  Eat whatever you want, as much as you want, but whatever you do, dont' forget to drink that much water, and take the vitamin.  The following week, up your water intake to 1.5 gallons, and the third week, 2 gallons per day(don't go over this limit).  You will find that the water is stimulating your metabolism, probably making you feel better.  The foods you used to eat that made you fat will just not feel right anymore in your system(if you are drinking the water), and you are on the road to a healthy body weight.  After this, just remember not to drop below one gallon of water a day.  Easiest, most effective diet ever invented, by me.  Goodnight.

Ok, in the interest of forum integrity, I won't post a full review.  Let's just say the rave reviews are accurate, if we're judging a Bond film by how faithful it is to the original Ian Fleming sourcework, this is easily the best one since 1981 (For Your Eyes Only), and Daniel Craig is certainly the least politically correct 007 ever.

Back to bidness....what does every Bond film have in common?  Bond seems to enjoy being on assignment much more than in garrison.  Why, because he knows he'll hook up with real, non gender normed women in the Balkans, Asia, Russia, South America, or wherever MI6 might send him.  He hates the MI6 culture, and the women there who talk down to him, and this is reflected in every film, without exception.  There is a scene in Casino Royale that everyone needs to see.  Bond is on a train to Montenegro when an MI6 finance officer, Vesper Lynd, storms in to brief him on his mission.  Like many Brit and American women, she is so beautiful and intelligent, she has to verbally remind us every five minutes or so how beautiful and intelligent she is lest we forget.  Predictably, like the other female MI6 employees, she launches into a condescending tirade, telling James Bond what a degenerate he really is.  I can't remember exactly what was said, but Bond cuts her off with a tirade of his own-how she is really miserable from living in a gender normed culture back in London and is not even a real woman by his standards.  It was much longer and more detailed than that, and this was the first time I've ever seen James seriously stand up to his feminazi co-workers.

Lt. Eric Sana, the chivalrous crusader:


"Though some may argue that prostitution and patronizing a prostitute -- both misdemeanors -- are victimless crimes, Sano doesn't see it that way: "No young girl grows up dreaming of doing this. These prostitutes are women who have had a rough life, whether they're addicted to drugs, or they've been abused or they have some pimp forcing them into it.

"It is easy money ... but these women are being exploited and it's degrading," he said. "You should hear what some of these guys have asked our detectives to do -- it's disgusting."

Just curious if anyone falls into this category.  The hands on the clock seem to be falling that way for me.  I know lots of guys talk about places like Thailand and Brazil but this seems like the easiest way to get to a place where at least some semblance of a life is possible.  I've made seven trips to Canada this year and have applied for work several times in Quebec.  I'm tired of being a stranger in my own fucking country, where no one takes being a man or a citizen seriously anymore.  After the Duke lacrosse debacle, I just don't see how any heterosexual male of any age, income, or personal appearance can say with a straight face that this is a good place for a guy to live.  I wasn't going to post this until I ran into two guys in Toronto who were from Manchester-fleeing the political correctness of the U.K.  It was amazing how much we had in common, after a few pints of Alexander Keiths, we were practically finishing each others sentences.  Sure, we have more economic opportunities here, but what good is money in our system anyway!!!!!

Accuser in Duke lacrosse case wanted money, man says

Joseph Neff, Benjamin Niolet and Anne Blythe, Staff Writers
DURHAM - Four days after she said she was raped, the accuser in the Duke lacrosse case told co-workers at a Hillsborough strip club that she was going to get money from some boys at a Duke party who hadn't paid her, the club's former security manager said.
"She basically said, 'I'm going to get paid by the white boys,' " H.P. Thomas, the former security manager at the Platinum Club, said in an interview Friday. "I said, 'Whatever,' because no one takes her seriously."

On March 14, the woman said she was assaulted and raped by three men at a lacrosse team party that began late on the night of March 13. Three players -- David Evans, 23, of Bethesda, Md.; Collin Finnerty, 20, of Garden City, N.Y.; and Reade Seligmann, 20, of Essex Fells N.J. -- have been charged with rape, sexual assault and kidnapping. All three have declared their innocence and called the accusations lies.

Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong declined to comment on Thomas' recollections. Thomas said he had not previously come forward on the advice of lawyers.

Nifong has said in court that nearly a month after the party, the woman was in his office and appeared too traumatized to talk about what had happened to her. Nifong said that throughout the April 11 meeting with Nifong and police investigators, the woman seemed near tears and had trouble making eye contact.

But less than a week after the party, Thomas said, the woman seemed fine, and weeks later, he realized a friend of his had a video of her dancing at the club in the early hours of March 26.

The accuser never gave any indication that the party was a bad time, let alone that she was assaulted or raped, Thomas said.

"She was as regular as pie," Thomas said. "She didn't do anything different."

The News & Observer generally does not identify the complainants in sexual assault cases. The woman could not be located for comment Friday.

On March 17, the woman showed Thomas a hospital bracelet and paperwork. While she talked about being owed money, the accuser never gave any word or indication of being hurt, he said.

"The other girls would have known if something had happened," Thomas said. "If another dancer had been beat up or raped by a bunch of white boys, there would have been a ruckus."

Records show she had been seen at Duke and UNC Hospitals on March 14 and 15.

Thomas said dancers must sign in when they take guests into the club's VIP room. He said those sheets show that the woman had signed in March 17 and 18. He said she also danced the following weekend.

The club's owner, Victor Olatoye, said the club's records show the woman was dancing at the club March 23, 24, 25 and into the early hours of March 26. Olatoye has no record of her working the previous weekend.

Olatoye said he had given a sworn statement to an investigator in Nifong's office last month initially saying that he had not seen the woman since February.

That night at the club, Olatoye checked his records and called the investigator back to change his sworn statement.

Olatoye said he has not seen the woman since March.

Thomas said he worked as security manager at the club from January through April. He said he had little to gain by coming forward because of a pending cocaine possession charge.

In an interview this morning on Good Morning America on ABC, the second-dancer revealed more of the set-up for the Duke rape hoax--

Oct. 30, 2006 -- The second dancer in the Duke rape case has said for the first time that the accuser told her to "go ahead, put marks on me'' after the alleged attack.
Dancer Kim Roberts made the new allegation -- which she has not shared with authorities -- in an interview with Chris Cuomo that will air today on "Good Morning America."

Roberts' allegation comes in the wake of Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong's admission in court last week that he has not yet interviewed the accuser "about the facts of that night."

Look at this dumb fucking chivalrous fuck stick-avenging a woman's rape by murdering the perp-then realizing she lied about the whole thing!  I'm so glad this guy got pinched, he buried the body and everything.  


And as for the woman who got this thing rolling:


"Samantha" turned out to be Ashley Elrod, a 22-year-old hotel clerk on North Carolina's Outer Banks, who testified that she lied about being raped. She said she "might have" told Jackson that one of the Marines was named Huff or Huffman, and she said Jackson called her after Huff was killed. Elrod has not been charged.


I feel bad for the Marine who got his throat slit and buried in the ground for no reason, but its good this is getting press, there have to thousands of similar stories we haven't heard.  I know I've had women lie to me about DV before to try and incite me against other men before....

The first conviction of rape since the academy went gender integrated in 1976.  It should be noted that the alleged incident happened while he was on leave-there was not enough evidence for a conviction in a civilian court, so it went to the military courts (guilty until proven innocent).  Predictably, this guy is being used as an example to send the message that the service academies are lowering their tolerance for this stuff(whether it actually happened or not).  The convicted plans to appeal the decision...

Got a bootleg DVD of this and watched it last night.  Good, but not as good as The Woodsman, in the pedophile genre.  *SPOILERS*  

A 32 year old photographer meets a gifted 14 year old in a chat room.  They agree to meet at a coffee shop, and from there go to his pad.  They chat it up some more, he makes some drinks.  The next thing we know, he is tied to a chair and being tortured (she drugged him).  For the first 35 minutes or so, it seems like the 14 year old girl is the predator and the 32 year old dude is the victim.  After a disturbing castration scene, some key backstory about his criminal history involving some of her friends is revealed (though not effectively enough, it should have been more detailed, you had to figure out a lot of it), she drives him to suicide.  This is a good film, unnerving, psychologically intense, and the male/female power exchanges harken back to David Mamet's Oleanna.




I'll go ahead and make the observation all the "experts" have missed-remember 1986's Extremeties, in which Farrah Fawcett traps her would be rapist in her home?  Hard Candy is the pedophile version of that film.

Ok, so I just re-watched the absolutely brilliant 2002 Bob Crane (Hogan's Heroes) biopic, Auto Focus.  Directed by Paul Schrader(Taxi Driver), and starring Greg Kinnear(in a role that should have easily netted a best actor Oscar) and Willem Dafoe, this film is probably the most frank and uncompromising study of male sexual psychology ever made for wide release, probably too frank for the dumbed down Talledegha Nights-ized American moviegoing public.  For those who have not seen it, a brief synopsis:  Bob Crane (Kinnear) is a talented DJ/actor in 1964, looking to expand his horizons, perhaps to "Jack Lemmon" heights.  At this time, he is a conserative Catholic family man.  At most, he probably has a few nudie mags stashed in a drawer somewhere.  His agent finds him a lead role, on the offbeat and eventually wildly successful Hogan's Heroes.  Before long, Crane is a star, roughly on the order of George Clooney during his ER heydey.  On the set, Crane meets up with a video whiz/techie named John Carpenter(Dafoe).  "Carpy" supplies Crane with state of the art VTR technology, and soon they are scoring chicks on a nightly basis.  Soon, Crane figures out how to videotape himself having sex, and by the time of his second divorce in the mid 1970's, he is a full blown amatuer pornographer.  Crane is found bludgeoned to death in an apartment in Scottsdale in 1978, the murder is never solved.  This is a must see film, scored by Angelo Badalamenti (Twin Peaks).  It starts out lighthearted and funny, and gradually becomes more disturbing until its nightmarish denoument.  

This film contains a lot of MRA themes, particularly as they pertain to the American male.  The start (1964) marks the end of a time when men could behave as men in the public square, wearing three piece suits, smoking cigars, referring to women as "broads", and not really be questioned or criticized.   In the time in between, men could still cruise for sex, they just had to dress and behave a certain way to get it. The end (1978) marks the beginning of the end for all of us, cable television, rape hysteria, women's studies, et. al.  

In the film, we see that Crane does not really want to stop his sexual pathology, even though it may be destroying everything else in his life.  Crane tells his agent, "sex is normal, I'm normal."  I agree %100.  Sex is normal, its not a "vice".  Discreet, consenting adults can meet to have sex whenever they want, in the same way people meet to play racketball.  Its just a physical activity people do to heighten their life experience.  Obviously, Crane tried to be both a family man and a swinger, and this doesn't work.  That being said, there is no such thing as "sex addiction".  Everyone wants sex, some people are unlucky or make poor choices in the way they try to obtain it.  Had Crane lived in our current age of rape hysteria, I doubt his swinging ways would have gone the way they did.  To wrap this up real quick, I did some research and found a good de-bunking of the myth of "sex addiction", one of my favorite passages:


1. TELEVISED PROSTITUTION

Who wants to marry a multimillionaire?

That was the question on Fox TV last week. Not "who wants to marry a great guy?" or "who wants to marry Rick?", but "who wants to marry money?" Which means, of course, "who wants to have sex for money?"

We already have words for such a transaction--ugly words, with both legal and moral implications. Women who trade sex for money are prostitutes. Men who trade money for sex are johns. And the people who arrange these transactions are pimps. So she's a whore, he's a john, and Fox is a pimp.

I have no trouble with this whatsoever. Except for two things:

1. If you offer a woman $50 on the streets of any American city, you can get thrown in jail and designated a sex offender. Ditto if you take the $50. It's as true in grown-up San Francisco as it is in redneck Kentucky or uptight New England. So $50 makes you a criminal; $1 million makes you a TV star. Putting expensive whores and johns on TV is just boring. Putting poor whores and johns in jail is sick.

2. Where are California's Proposition 22 supporters now? How hypocritical that they are busy defending their precious institution of marriage from loving couples who want to participate, but they watch Rick Rockwell, Darva Conger, and Fox TV debase the institution in front of 20 million Americans. The New York Times quoted NOW President Patricia Ireland as saying "It took something like this to make the Miss America pageant look good to me."

I'm no fan of Miss America pageants, but at least they don't prevent lesbians from competing.

Not to hijack the forum, but this movie fucking rocks!!!  Just saw it for the third time in four days.  Thought it might have a place here because it is an extremely MALE film(three females excused themselves from tonights showing).  Ignore the bad reviews, this is as good, and probably better than Heat.  The plot is so tightly constructed and the direction is so slick, I was still catching plot points that I missed on the third view.  Colin Farrell IS Sonny Crockett, only much badder and more violent.  The final showdown between the Aryan Brotherhood/Columbian cartel vs. Miami Dade Police looked more like Saving Private Ryan than any other cop movie, this film really earned its R rating.  The negative reviews that are being vomited onto web pages are undoubtedly from the same people who just weren't cool enough to appreciate the TV series, they see cops and guns and assume its a dumb celebration of male pornographic instinct, WRONG.  Like the TV series, the film is highly intelligent and way ahead of its time.  I will be seeing this at least once more in theaters.[/i]

Dear RSF,

I'm an avid reader of your blog, and admire your dedication to women and children.  However, there is one omission from your website that I cannot reconcile, perhaps you can help me.  You don't make any secret that you reside in the state of Texas, and I assume that is where you practice your activism.  Last week, in Limestone county, an 18 year old high school girl was ran off the road by two illegal immigrants, beaten, raped, stabbed, and left in a ditch to die like roadkill.  She is still in critical condition, but she'll pull through, thanks to her personal toughness, and some alert law enforcement personell.  In case, living in Texas, this story has eluded you somehow, here it is:

http://www.kwtx.com/home/headlines/3253966.html

and here:

http://www.kwtx.com/home/headlines/3258916.html





What I cannot understand is why you chronicled the Duke Rape case so closely, even posting photos of the suspects the day they were arrested on your blog, and a banner ad supporting the "victims" remains in place today.  It seems odd that you feel the need to report on a case in Durham county, nearly 1000 miles from the easternmost part of Texas,  a case in which, after four months, not a single shred of evidence has been uncovered to support the allegation of rape.  Yet, when a high school girl in your own state is raped and nearly murdered, you choose to ignore the story.  Why is one newsworthy and the other not?  

Not posting this as some sort of drive by attack, just searching for some answers.

So two illegal aliens decided to run a high school girl off the road, beat, stab, and rape her, and leave her in the ditch to die, then went about their way back to Mexico and Honduras.  I just can't figure out for the life of me why the feminist/liberal blogosphere isn't buzzing with this story????

This is classic.  Looks like he might be guilty of some lesser stuff, but there was certainly never a rape, and once again, the prosecution relied on "c'mon, we know he's a bad dude, would you just convict him of rape?"
