why women hate video games…

This post over at Thought Mechanics got me started thinking about that topic. It’s been opined that sexual innuendo and gore are driving women away from video games.
Now, I’ve admitted previously to being a rather blood-thirsty bitch into hardcore things, from my taste in music to TV shows to video games. The only things stuck […]

Can I sue CalTrans for selling crack?

The question of ISP responsibility is one that’s gone up and down the chain over the years. What level of responsibility does a hoster have for the content on their network? The last round of lawsuits fell out in favor of the ISP, as I recall, although that was a while ago, and after leaving […]

all your porn are belong to Feds?

So, I’m not quite sure what happened to the constitution here, but so much for innocent until proven guilty. If the right wing Christians can’t get you to listen to moral arguments, how about making it illegal?
All porn is child porn unless you can prove the ages of the participants. Time to clear out those […]

headlines you’ll never see

Men underrepresented in Nursing fields.
Men underrepresented in Secretarial fields.
Men underrepresented as flight attendants.
Men underrepresented in housekeeping jobs.

Many of my midwestern and eastern conservative aquaintances have for some time been against my outspokenness against W, calling it a betrayal of my party or the misguided influence of life in California. I’ve been a long standing believer in the fact that the Republican party […]

married men make more

Sometimes I’m psychic. After that last post, I went over to check my rss feeds and encountered this article. Their findings?
Married men make more when their wives stay home and take care of the house. My issues? That this researcher actually refers to traditional roles, and it being the woman’s job to take care of […]

myth-equality

The Wage Gap question is one that has been leaping out in a lot of places recently. Of course, your typical feminist will always scream that its about the man keeping the woman down fiscally, since they can’t legally now. Farrell’s book Why Men Earn More, previously referred to here as The Book seems to […]

blame the game

Yet again, society’s lack of blame surfaces to repoint the fingers. A new video game, 25 to life, has caused an uprising among New York LEOs. Officers, senators and DAs are beginning to speak up asking not only that the game be banned, but that contracts with the game developers be dropped. On the list […]
