Wonderful Life or Pottersville? You Choose

It's a wonderful life when the community comes together.

It’s a wonderful life when the community comes together.

While indulging my yearly Yuletide ritual — enjoying “It’s A Wonderful Life” — something odd happened:

Mr. Potter’s face morphed into an amalgam of Charles and David Koch.

The Koch brothers are prone to giving huge campaign contributions in return for dismantling the government. AKA legal bribery.

Instead of the community coming together for the good of all, the billionaire Koch Brothers only want to increase their wealth. (Like they need more money!) Read the rest of this entry

Hillary, Pizza and Witch Hunts

Hillary Clinton and witch hunting

“She’s a witch!”

The accusation once moved the masses to mindless fury.

I’d thought we’d outgrown that. Guess not.

It’s not hard to imagine the same folks who shout “Lock her up!” today yelling “Burn her!” a few centuries ago. Read the rest of this entry

Maria Schneider and Marlon Brando, Last Tango In Paris

Last Tango In Paris director Bernardo Bertolucci helped Marlon Brando rape actress Maria Schneider in the film’s infamous “butter” scene.

In a graphic assault, Brando used a stick of butter to anally violate Ms. Schneider, who learned about the scene just before doing it: Read the rest of this entry

Men Fearing Women’s Sexuality

Fearing women's sexuality.

Fearing women’s sexuality.

By Jonathan Jefferson

Back in high school I was surprised at the amount of hatred that could be directed toward women in common, everyday conversation.

Guys talked about ex-girlfriends or girls they’d slept with in such a negative light.

If a girl had been with another boy — at all — anyone who slept with her later could do no better than “sloppy seconds.”  Read the rest of this entry

Progressives Move Country Right

Circular firing squad

Circular firing squad

Since DJT’s election I’ve heard plenty of protests.

Well deserved, given the racism and misogyny that so frequently spews from his mouth… or wherever.

But I am also angered by the number of protesters who didn’t even bother to vote.

Or who voted third-party. Read the rest of this entry

Moana: Reconnecting to Our Hearts

Disney's Moana and Maui

Disney’s Moana and Maui

One day while collecting seashells Princess Moana found a heart.

It had once belonged to the island goddess Te Fiti — until the trickster god Maui stole it to enhance his strength. But the lava demon Te Ka fought Maui for it, and the heart was lost.

Lacking this vital organ, Princess Moana’s island began to die.

On her deathbed, Moana’s grandmother told her to return the heart to the goddess.  Read the rest of this entry

Women Distracted By “How They Look” In Bed

Distracted in bed.

Distracted in bed.

“Spectatoring” is the word Masters and Johnson used to describe watching yourself have sex instead of being swept up in sexual pleasure.

You aren’t in the game, you are watching from the sidelines — present and absent all at once.

To get a sense of how commonly young women get distracted, I asked this survey question:

An Insecure Journey to “Beauty” 

Victoria's Secret Angel

Victoria’s Secret Angel

By Sarah Merrick

Each year around the holidays 9 million viewers and I tune into the one-hour insecurity ride that is the “Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.”

Weeks later I’m still dazed by self-doubt. Is that how boys think I should look?

Apparently.

The Super Bowl soon follows with guys drooling over the large breasts, tiny waist, and flowing blonde hair of a model savoring a Carl’s Jr. burger. (Likely the only meal she’s had in days.) Her name in 2016 was Charlotte McKinney — and the ad was voted one of the Super Bowl’s best. Read the rest of this entry
