This judge is a moron.

The judge in this case has refused to allow the alleged victim to say the word "rape" in court. She is also not allowed to say the words "victim" and "assailant". However, the alleged perp and his lawyers are allowed to say "sex" and "intercourse".

This is a rape trial. It is not about "sex" and "intercourse". As usual, he says it was consensual. She says it wasn't.

Here is what the alleged victim has to say about it: "I refuse to call it sex, or any other word that I'm supposed to say, encouraged to say on the stand, because to me that's committing perjury. What happened to me was rape, it was not sex," said Tory Bowen of Nebraska.

This case is infuriating. It's bad enough that women who say they were raped are not believed. Now things seem to be getting worse for them. Rape victims are first assaulted by their attackers, and then they are further assaulted by the court. This sucks.

I'm used to seeing fathers' rights activists get all twisted up over ads they think demean dads, so it was a surprise to see bible thumpers get their knickers in a twist over an ad that hinted at a lesbian encounter. It shouldn't have been that much of a surprise to me, though, since there are some ties between the religious right and fathers' rights groups.

Still, this post isn't about fathers' rights; it's about bible thumpers. Wrigley gum has a new ad that barely hints at lesbian attraction, but that doesn't stop the bible thumpers from gnashing their teeth and beating their breasts in indignation.

The ad is below. There is really nothing to get all worked up about, but that doesn't stop bible thumpers who see sin around every corner, and being a lesbian in their eyes is a horrible sin.

Of course, these protests are also publicity stunts for those who start them. They get publicity, alright, but it's not good publicity. Protests over ads like this one make the protesters look petty, reactionary, and humorless.

This can't be for real. Can anyone really be this stupid? (There are no pictures, but the topic is NSFW.)

I found it at ErosBlog (note: blog NSFW). I do believe that some people can be that stupid. I remember a girl I knew from childhood whose family was convinced that her mother was only able to give birth to girls because she had only sisters. I just went... whaah???

Read this and watch your head explode.

I have a really flat butt. My boyfriend read that anal sex will help make it bigger, but only if he shoots his sperm deep inside. We used to have anal sex sometimes. He always wore a condom before. Now we have anal sex and he shoots really deep inside me and i keep it there.

I think I like this even if it doesn’t make my butt biggerer. He says my butt does look bigger, but I can’t tell. Has anyone else heard of thjis? Will his sperms in my butt make it bigger?

Some people took the bait. Here's one of her replies, which I think makes it clear that she's pulling their legs. Not at I needed all that much convincing in the beginning.

Now that I know my boyfriend's cum deep in my butt is making it rounder i have more questions. Will it keep getting bigger if we keep having anal sex? Or will it stop at some point? If we stop having anal sex, will my butt go back to the size it was or remain the size it is when we stop? If he cums in my butt and I use the toilet afterward and poo it out will it stop making my butt bigger?

I really want to keep having him shoot in my butt. But I don't want my butt to get really big either.

Does anyone else have any experience with this

And it looks like some people are still taking her seriously. It's just too funny...

Forget Botox injections, labiaplasty, and vagina-tightening surgeries. Today's modern woman who wants to plunk down thousands of dollars just so that she is more sexually appealing to men can now get a G-Shot. A G-Shot is collagen injected into the G-spot, making it larger - and presumably easier for the male penis to find. G-Shots bring back the myth of the "better" vaginal orgasm as opposed to the "immature" clitoral orgasm. The G-spot is not even accepted as actually existing, while many women claim that they have one.

Amy at Feministing noticed the same thing I noticed - the testimonials about the G-Shot focused on how much happier the men in their lives were that these women paid about $2,000 for a G-Shot.

“My man is so excited about my G-Shot he can’t wait until I get home from work” and "After the G-Shot® it is simple to direct your partner to your amplified pleasure center.” The quotes seem to imply that women were stressed out and feeling like they were failing their partners by not coming fast enough. (“My G-Spot is always present and ready for action at a moments notice.")

Elizabeth Black included information about the G-Shot in her latest article at nuts4chic. She has just as low an opinion of it as many other women. She talks about several forms of sexual plastic surgery for women. Just how much more do women have to cut and maim themselves before they think their men are happy? And what about their own sexual satisfaction? Sexual surgery seems to focus on separating a woman from her money. It also plays on women's sexual insecurities, and makes women think that a surgical procedure will improve her sex life. Whatever happened to having a thoughtful partner, some massage oil and a vibrator, and a fun attitude while you enjoy sex? No surgical procedure can give you that.

Lesson Of The Day: Don't drive drunk and play with a sex toy at the same time. The article doesn't say which sex toy it was, but the police officer must have had some great stories to tell at the station that night.

I haven't written any fathers' rights posts in ages, and this really isn't one. I was checking out my sitemeter, and found a link to a men's rights site and discussion forum I had never heard of. One of the guys who posts there says he lurks on my blog. He can't help himself. I just get under his skin. I think he's mad especially over a post I made last July - eight long months ago about a New York case where a man who whined about "paternity fraud" was not able to get out of paying child support.

I make him so mad that he had this to say about me: "I hope she dies and then her body is dug up from the graveyard the day after her burial by a necrophiliac and raped. After all, she clearly has NO sympathy for rape victims unless they are women."

That is truly sick.

This guy has some serious problems. I know now that another angry nutcase lurks on my blog. If he tries to comment here, I will delete him and ban him. I saved that forum thread for posterity.

I don't even blog about father's rights and family law anymore. Yet still, the trolls manage to get all bent out of shape over me anyway. Go figure.

I'm not sure that I really believe this, but it was so funny I had to post about it.

Some mom insists that the Shimmering Lights Arial doll her daughter has says "You're a slut!"

The doll has the usual stock phrases little girls dolls have. She says "Your sparkles are so beautiful," "Life is the bubbles" and "You're a wonderful friend."

This mom claims that if the doll's button is pushed a certain way, Arial says "You're a slut!"

It's uncertain whether or not the doll actually says that. You have to listen very closely to hear it. It's almost as if you have to know the story in advance, and then you listen for those words. There has also been only one complaint about the doll. So, I'm not sure I believe it, but it sure is funny.

If I get an update on this story, I'll post it.

Clap, clap <snark> on
Flat = fire, egocentric = loving and Shrub = treasonous… well, I suppose the last one is an invalid comparison since it’s so blindingly true.

Yes folks, The Count is in a really snarky mood tonight and I’m referring to the lamentable luck those pesky christian fundacritters have in their creation myth. If only, if only, if only. Imagine how tough it would be to sell any poor shmuck on the inerrancy of their bible if somewhere in its creation myth, god were to have placed the earth on a turtle’s back.

Well, all is not to be despaired because those fonts of wisdom, forward thinking and misogyny, the sheep herders who cooked up the stories around their campfires at night while trying to keep warm, stay hard in ewe and keep off some predator’s dinner menu, still managed to stick at least one foot in it. What was their great scientific insight? Why, that the earth is only 6,000 years old.

But wait, there's more, for only one more soul we'll sell you... I mean, they had giants, people that lived a gazillion years with their dinosaur pets, a Tardis like ark that defied the space-time continuum, Dungeons & Dragons... heh, the god & friends in the new testament have nothing over this stuff in the old testament. Gee, I wonder if the authors of the new testament, like any good huckster, knew people in the year 200 wouldn't buy the crap if it sounded too far-fetched. Heck, this god (v2.0.0) seems to be a downright sissy compared to the original, he even managed to learn to delegate authority and disappear leaving his godling son holding the bag (and we all know what happens when a president commander-in-chief twit abdicates delegates all authority away, eh?).

Hmm, that to me would also seem to beg the question of when that 6,000 is marked off from? Does the clock start from when the bullshit goat dung started flying, from when it was first jotted down in the goat dung (and you thought cuneiform was written on clay... shows you!) or from when it was first preserved in a scroll (the upper classes thought they were too urbane for dung in any form, little did they know)?

You’ve really got to hand it to the current day goat f#(&ing christian fundies. They can actually manage to make those claims with great aplomb while even lacking the common sense contained in a clowder of cats. Fortunately, in our modern world those claims are so patently counter-intuitive (yes, I'm being restrained) it has even managed to alienate a good majority of the only slightly less delusional “normal” godsters.

Then there’s also the matter of the great flat earth debate (which has about the same relevance to modern life as that other ageless quandry: How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?), where even the “young earth” whackos think that the “flat earth” whackos are off the deep end, while the flat liners earthers are seen muttering something about holier than thou.

Isn’t it amazing how the inerrant, literal bible is still up for interpretation any goddamn way you feel like.

On the other hand, it will allow some future plucky paleontologist to study the lovingly preserved fossilized brains specimens of homo amentis, a dead-end species who will be found congregated around a cross-like object and which will be mostly found in their natural defensive stance; on their knees, eyes closed, fingers in ears, and mouth in the shape of “La la la la la, I don’t hear you.” Ok, I admit it, that last part will only an artist’s conception of what they will be saying, since in most cases you can't petrify thought. It’s believed this species will come to extinction when rationality runs over them causing a Big loud Bang.
Clap, clap </snark> off

This is just too precious to pass up.

Remember the idiot who thought that the article from the woman talking about abortion on The Onion was real? Now that he's been called out, he's running for cover. He claims he "knows" women like Carolyn Weber - WHO DOES NOT EXIST. He wrote, "because I meet women like her in the field all the time. Anyway, I wrote the blog in a way that was meant to point out how psychotic the pro-abortion movement is. I have been at abortion mills, picketed government buildings, parks and more. I have heard a lot, and if you think that this woman just "sounded" nuts, let me tell you what a woman told me a couple of months ago."

So he launches into a tale of what is likely another fictitious woman. He claims to have had a conversation with her that went something like this:

Her: Because it's the way things go

Cretin: What do you mean?

Her: There are just things that happen the way they do

Cretin: What?

Her: There are many things that happen & we don't have control over them, that's just the way it is

Cretin: An abortion is just killing a child at an early age right?

Her: Right

Cretin: And that's ok with you?

Her: Might be

Who does this idiot think he is? He makes up a conversation with a strawprochoicewoman who answers his questions just the way he thinks a pro-choice woman would respond. He's making shit up. Figures. He painted himself into a corner by thinking that an article at The Onion was real, and now he's scrambling for cover.

Cretin!

He already has close to five-hundred comments from people telling him that he's still a cretin. I wonder what he'll say next?

Update: This is amusing. Teri's posted her Ode To Trish at Stand Your Ground. Is this how she's going to waste her July 4th, by bashing me? Geez, I'm getting ready to sign off and watch "Jaws". Those guys can't help but join her in bashing me over there. They feel so threatened by me. That makes five posts they've written about me within the last two weeks. They are obsessed.

I'm not giving them a link. Here's the URL.

This is funny as hell. I'm greatly amused.

Ha ha! Terri Stoddard has gone after me at Men Spew Daily. She has old news. I posted about our financial problems and The Count looking for work a long time ago. Things have changed since then. The Count has a job interview tomorrow (which looks very good), and I have been making money from my writing. We aren't completely out of the woods yet, but we're getting there. I know that our financial problems are temporary. Bloggers came out in droves to help us, and I thank them profusely. They've been very good to us.

It's so good of Stoddard that she's proving she's a decent human being by mocking another one when her luck was down.

Stoddard called me a "penis pop trafficker", because of the fun X-rated chocolates that I make. Is that the best she can do? I never read Men Spew Daily, but I did this time. Boy, some people don't know how to write. It's bad enough that the rants over there have no basis in reality, but quite a few of them have grammatical errors. Oops!

She mentioned that I'm included in a Wikipedia entry about Fathers' Rights. I didn't even know I was mentioned there. It's a good entry, including my statements fathers' rights activists supported Darren Mack after he stabbed his wife to death and shot the judge who heard his case because he's angry over all the money he was ordered to pay his wife in his divorce. This is cool. I'm mentioned on Wikipedia.

I've banned Stoddard from commenting on my blog a long time ago because all she ever did was come here and attack me. I see she's still so obsessed with me that she sought fit to bash me on the 4th of July, a national holiday. I spent my holiday weekend driving around town, checking out the beaches, and watching good movies with The Count. Yesterday, we watched two movies starring Errol Flynn - "The Sea Hawk" and "The Adventures Of Robin Hood". She spent her weekend writing a poison pen letter about me. I think she needs to reset her priorities.

I'm going to blog for a little while, since it's very early, and I'll spend the rest of the day enjoying the holiday. We're going to have a blast today. Parades and picnics and a bonfire at night. Yowza!
