Living by fear will destroy your peace of mind. Man up, people. Imagine if people had reacted like this-- giving in to their fears-- in WWII. We would have lost.

Liberals love to deny that men are sexually abused as much as women.

Aikona, Karyn. In this sorry little saga, Verashni Pillay has exposed herself beyond redemption. Her pronounced bias against white men did major harm at M&G, so this new evidence of racism and misandry doesn't come as a huge surprise, but there's no turning back now - if HuffPost wants to retain any vestige of credibility, they must fire her.

You are so right. Of course we must confront the reality of bias against males. The bias that ensures men do not earn as much as women, that men are constantly told what they can and can’t do with their own bodies, that men are ‘slut shamed’, that men are subjected to a paradigm in which they get blamed for their own victimization. Yep, those poor men.

Well, if I was scared before, now I'm petrified!Those that terrorize should be rounded up and punished according to our Hate Crime laws! It is NOT 1st Amendment speech when you put fear into someone's heart and mind. You are a bully and a cur. The hate in your being must be purged. It's root cause revealed. (For most men, it's Mommy. For Women? Sexual assault.)

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks so the nine sat down and had their beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill! And that, boys and girls, journalists and government ministers, is how our tax system works. The people who already pay the highest taxes will naturally get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas, where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

I do look at terrorist as the enemy, why would you think otherwise? I think they are cut throat murderers who justify their action with religious shrouds. I don't respect or honor that religious interpretation. I know my Old Testament well enough to know it has been used to justify murder as well by Christians and Jewish tradition. I know that not all Muslims believe in killing non Christians(and I bet you agree?) How many Oregonions have been killed in the state by Muslim motivated extremist? (Last 5 years). How many Oregonions have been murdered by Oregonions? Using Trump thinking all Oregonions should get tight screening and subjected to investigation I think our police, FBI, and other's involved in protecting our shores have done outstanding work in stopping acts of terrorism. Trump's condemnation 0f there tireless efforts is reprehensible and insults the men and women protecting all of us.

“Just telling us this is still under investigation is not good enough for the windows of the Wal-Mart.” Yeah because smashing the windows out of Wal-Mart is really going to bring necessary changes. The authorities need to release footage of this incident immediately, thanks to social media nobody cares about facts anymore only the narrative that suits them. I guess once a black man wears a police uniform he is no longer black but some opposing race that wants to oppress a minority. If Scott indeed was only carrying a book the police officer should be charged accordingly, if Scott was carrying a hand gun and refused to follow commands then he had what was coming to him and I hope rapper Shaka Zulu and anyone else who incited these riots are prosecuted to the fullest extent.

Attendance at the Rogers Cup in Toronto over the years shows the women's event years average about 85% (some years higher, other years lower) of the men's event years. Men's event has a higher draw but the size of the difference is not significant. But to the male chauvinist, 140K vs. 160K attendance numbers indicates that the WTA "wouldn't even exist". Laughably st*pid. As to the empty seats of the Keys - Vandeweghe match, that is simply wrong. More sexist drivel.

Lastly, I humbly say that I think your heart is in the right place, but your solution is not. What America may need to do is send more workers to the places who need us. The Jesuit Refugee Service is devoted to helping refugees all over the world. (I applied a few years back, but they wouldn't take me. Too old, and I suspect they don't like conservative ex-prosecutors.) Or maybe go with a church group that does charitable work in foreign countries. The Mormons do incredible work in Africa. Or go on your own! My plumber, a poor man himself (at $60/hr???), goes to either Haiti or the Dominican Republic every summer, not to lie in the sun, but to be among the poor and help them with whatever they need. He loves the people. This man is a marvel, the very model of Christ. I envy him. But we can do these things for the foreign poor without jeopardizing our country, which we have already done by our divisive approach to immigration.

"Except for the racial element" --- my friend, you just answered why your point is incorrect about my thoughts pertaining to the 1%. And, being a Right-winger, you can't claim anything related to anti-Semitism, considering that Donnie Moscow has inspired the white knights to claim that Jews and other religions—along with many ethnicities—do not belong in white America. Your points about Bezos and crew are off-base. You name a few of the "good guys", when the vast reality is that many of them are nothing but hedge-funders like Robert Mercer—men with undiagnosed gambling disorders—or they are techbros. Techbros are white guys who pride themselves on being an asshole like Steve Jobs, only techbros don't possess Job's God-given talent. These are fellas who open-source meaningless apps, then hold an IPO to get cash before the public realizes how useless it is. And tech is legendary for hating women and being racist. The people you seem to idolize do nothing for America.

I fought SB 21 with the 77/7 plan but the big oil monopoly was in control with Parnell as the the point man. Alaskans can’t drill with the current overburdening permitting process that keeps everyone except the majors out of the oil and gas markets! Except for the majors, Alaska does not have one oil company that has made a profit from finding and selling oil! The state needs a flat royalty increase of 20% and do away with all the credits and incentives and have a new regulatory system copied from Texas so all can compete fairly! This could be done in a year or two and this will help Alaskans to drill and prosper with other oil and gas investors!

Part of JP2 writing about myth: According to P. Tillich myth is a symbol, constituted by the elements of reality to present the absolute and the transcendence of being, to which the religious act tends. H. Schlier emphasizes that the myth does not know historical facts and has no need of them, inasmuch as it describes man's cosmic destiny, which is always identical. In short, the myth tends to know what is unknowable. According to P. Ricoeur: "The myth is something other than an explanation of the world, of its history and its destiny. It expresses in terms of the world, indeed of what is beyond the world, or of a second world, the understanding that man has of himself through relation with the fundamental and the limit of his existence.... It expresses in an objective language the understanding that man has of his dependence in regard to what lies at the limit and the origin of his world" (P. Ricoeur, Le conflit des interprétation [Paris: Seuil, 1969], p. 383).

Yes, some women can be more careful. Men can also do more to make sure that women who drink too much aren't taken advantage of. If women thought they were going to be raped they wouldn't have walked down that alley or went to that party, or gone to a bar, or a friend's house. Hindsight is always 20/20. Since we are using cliche's. But we've all made mistakes. Some people have addictions and other problems that make them more prone to being victims. Others are practiced perpetrators who know exactly how to find their victims. The problem is why is it OK for men to get shit-faced drunk and women not to? Men need to step up and take responsibility. It is rarely women who rape.

Larry, you and Johnny Mabry have a fixation. But "terror" is bad, no matter the justification. Can you agree? - Sikh temple murders: religious terrorism. Shooter thought he was murdering Muslims. - Jewish center murders by a Nazi and Klan member: Thought he was murdering Jews. Both terrorist acts based on religion of victims - that's religious terrorism. Of course, Roof murdered 9 innocents in a church not because of their faith, but their race. Purposeful terror based on race is no good, either. The Planned Parenthood shooting was extremism based on faiths that demonize Planned Parenthood. Most mass shooters are unstable, but instability doesn't choose the target in a vacuum. The Orlando shooter wasn't an Islamic extremist, he seems to have been a bisexual man tormented by that and his faith, which like many "Christian" groups, demonize homosexuality. So, unstable in part because of faith, but by what his faith did to him, not what he was supposedly doing for Allah.

Here is an idea. Don't want a baby? Don't get pregnant. It is completely within the power of the female human to make that initial choice, and once said choice is made, either for or against conception, they own said choice. We men are pigs, to be sure, though not as many as one may think, but it is the female that ultimately decides whether she shall be impregnated or not. Women are indeed within control of not only their bodies, but their biological ability to give birth, and if they do not want to become a mother, than they should take whatever steps they need to so as to prevent said action. THAT is the female power. THEY decide whether they shall bear a child or not. Abortion is for those that do not own their personal decisions, or are simply too obtuse, or lazy, to own said decisions. And do not even get me started about Planned Parenthood and its eugenics based beginning.

Actually, a pretty good article on William Seward. Defending Andrew Johnson was perhaps one of the most questionable deeds of Seward's public life. Johnson was a avowed white racist even if he was an Union man and his plan to return back the clock in the south would have undone what four bloody years of the Civil War has accomplished. The fact that Seward stood by Johnson, in the same way he stood by Lincoln, is a reflective quality of his character.

First...it's interesting to me how non-Catholics have so many suggestions about what the Catholic priesthood should look like! Second? It appears Pope Francis disagrees... "Turning to the question of relaxing permissions for the ordination of married men and the requirement of priestly celibacy, he said that “optional celibacy is discussed, above all where priests are needed. But optional celibacy is not the solution." (Interview with "Die Zeit" 3/8/17)

So, lets analyze this a bit. In the top statement, you are observing, and we assume complaining that anyone being told "go back to (where ever)" is BAD, when it is coming from an old white man. But here in this statement, you have a method to justify when it is now appropriate to tell someone they should go back to the mainland. Again, it only appears to apply to "white men" So, it is bad when said by one group, but it is perfectly fine when said by another group. There is a word for that : Hypocrite. And considering that you failed to address when Micronesians are told "go back to your country" by Hawaiians, then that must be ok too ?

I have given up making the point that abortion goes down under democratic presidents and that PO achieved the lowest rate of abortion of any administration. The fact abortion rates rise under pro life GOP presidents doesn't impact pro lifers. I have come to the conclusion the increase in abortions under the GOP is viewed as nothing more than 'collateral damage' in the pro life battle over abortion and that it's really not about the preciousness of innocent fetal life, it's about conservative sexual politics that lays all the responsibility on the woman to say 'no' to the sexual entitlement of heterosexual males. Hence, a sexually entitled male like President Trump can at the same time be a pro life crusader. What a joke.

"Trump is an overt misogynist and will have real trouble capturing much of the women’s vote." Trump will correctly counter that Hillary is a misogynist enabler, and that she will have trouble capturing much of the women's vote. She will counter that Trump is a bad businessman. Trump will counter that Hillary has never run any kind of business, and oh, by the way, I am a multi-billionaire from the businesses I have run, so maybe I'm not so bad after all, but I will admit Hillary is a much better political shakedown artist. Indeed, it will be an interesting election season.

Good morning, John. I think there are several issues that explain our several differences. Correct me if I'm wrong. First, I think you tend to give Paul and others the benefit of the doubt when they are portrayed, or portray themselves, as speaking or writing with pure motives. I tend to suspect that they are attempting to put the best possible light on often ambiguous circumstances. (For example, I think Peter did more than simply "deny" Jesus in the gospels, and that Paul sought the approval of James and Peter largely to deflect criticism.) Second, it seems you accept more than I the traditional portrayal of Jesus as a man misunderstood by his disciples, largely for their ignorance, by the Jewish authorities, for their duplicity, and by the Romans, perhaps for their convenience. I tend to think Jesus was rather well understood by all three groups. (Disclosure: Reza Aslan is a colleague, and we've debated this at length to no avail...) More when I have time...

I am not a complete bigot against Christians and Christianity. I know plenty that I consider fine people. However, there many I hold in contempt due to their self righteous belief in a book of fairy tales written by primitive tribes(Prove that wrong, I dare you) allows them to treat anyone as less than an equal. A business owner does not have to approve of any of his customers, whether, black, Jewish, homo sexual, Raiders fans, punk rockers, Republicans/Democrats, etc. they merely have to treat all of them equally, and it doesn't matter what their religious beliefs are. You consistently refer to religious beliefs being inalienable rights, which are fine, until they infringe on rights of others. Before the 1st amendment, on July 4, 1776, our founders stated "all men are created equal", and our country strives to hold that right above all, including religious beliefs, and has enacted amendments and constitutionally tested legislation to ensure that.

Well I am sorry you feel that way but if we ordain married men we will be placing all women under the voice and total control of all men in this church. I have to wonder if the hierarchy were suggesting doing the same thing based on race, and keeping all black men voiceless and voteless, in our church would you be so unable to see the only result that can come from this decision? Boff is able to promote justice and is not doing so. These married men are able to promote justice and are not doing so. Our pope has the authority to ordain women priests tomorrow. Where is the difficulty on your part? W\hat part of treating women as sacramental slaves to men seems acceptable to you? Many of these married men seeking ordination do not support women ever being ordained priests so I don't understand where you are coming from. Sexism is more harmful and lethal in the world than racism. That is fact not opinion. To support gender segregation increase all the harm that sexism creates.

Dear Amy, Your advice for (don't look down) was ok. I'm left wondering if this man is not shopping at the right store. It's very hard for people who are bigger than the standard 3x size (usually the biggest size at retail shops) to find clothes that fit properly. The bottom of shirts not being long enough to cover a stomach is the number one problem. One must buy big and TALL clothes. If you don't buy the "Tall" shirt it won't cover your stomach even if it's a 5x. There are special stores but are often hard to find. My husband was one of these people and we had to drive to another town to shop for him and the T shirts were no less than 50 dollars. Dress clothes are way more. So maybe this man can't afford clothes that fit or find them. Maybe find an ad for a good store on line and leave it around the break room. Poor guy might be embarrassed to admit he needs special clothes I know my husband was.

My point is merely that the pope has, for example, made some real headscratching off the cuff comments about women, women's roles, and the feminine side in general. With these comments he comes across as at worst a total misogynist and sexist and at best as chauvinist and patriarchal, which I think is probably closest to the real man. He is, unfortunately, a product of his time and of a system in which he has been immersed for virtually all of his life. But since he comes across and is portrayed by most in the media as a kindly old man, that side of him is swept under the rug.

Fascinating. As a right wing millennial, I've never considered myself a conservative and why would I? I think the better question is why anyone would ever want to be associated with the conservatism movement BEFORE Trump? What have they conserved, exactly? Marriage between a man and a woman? Abortion laws? Their voter's demographics? American culture? About the only thing conservatives have managed is keeping their pocket books fat thanks to upholding massive amounts of unwanted immigration #s demanded by their corporate donors. Thanks, but no thanks. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, conservatives. I'll stick with nationalism. Even if I personally think Bannon's civic version is doomed to fail, it's still something new. Also, NRO stopped being relevant the second they threw out paleocons for offending the sacred liberal cow of "racism." You're going to get called a nazi by the left no matter what you do, and they're never going to denounce THEIR violent thug

God is both male and female. You are trying to limit God. If it was not for the miraculous nature of his birth, then yes Jesus would be a bastard, and in some circles that is the way he was viewed. Remember that Joseph almost did not marry Mary because he knew that they had not had sex and Mary was pregnant. From his point of view and most of the other people's point of view, she must have been with another man. Mary also knew what she was facing when the angel told her about being the mother of Jesus. Possible stoning.

Not all our clergy or Ireland's is so old it can't fight. Many of the priests in AUSCP & Future Church don't really want women ordained beyond the meaningless deaconate. No one should support these groups until they change their stand on equal ordination publically. Yes, since these men did not stand up for right when they were young, they have put themselves in the position to have to stand up for right when they are old & tired. Which is why one should never put off, to another time, the good they are able to bring forth now. Abraham, Sarah & Moses were all very old but that did not stop God from requiring them to act according to his commands. All were scared. Abraham could have died in the dessert & caused the death of all of his loved ones that followed him. Sarah could have died in childbirth, Moses could have been killed by his own rebellious people countless times. In every age, and by every Christian, faith can only prove itself genuine thru acts of courage.

Republicans refused to believe he was THAT man and promised he would be "more presidential" once in office. There's no indication he's anything but worse than his campaign rhetoric.

The best is at the end: "Spicer remained loyal to Trump but he frequently battled perceptions that he was not plugged in to what the president was thinking, and had to worry that Trump was watching and critiquing his performance from the Oval Office. Throughout the start of the administration, there was always the possibility that Trump would undermine something Spicer said by simply sending out a tweet." I would worry for Spicer if he were plugged into what Trump was thinking because he would have to change his briefings on the fly while he was giving them. Note too that the swamp is being drained by the addition of a rich financier - definitely an Administration for the common man.

I'm a veteran and If your kneeling during the anthem as a veteran you have to know how disrespectful it is. As far as peaceful protests I'm sure their are some out there but what I see on tv and what I experience in my daily life has been the opposite. BLM is predicated on a lie but that doesn't seem to matter. A BLM member shot and killed 5 Dallas police officers another killed 2 in Louisiana. The rioting and burning and looting of their own neighborhoods makes no sense to me. Is there bad cops out their the answer is obviously yes. But 2 wrongs don't make a right as my mother used to tell me. Want to get your message out? Stop disrespecting America and then people will listen. Stand up and be proud to be an American and find a better way to protest. Oh and by the way I see plenty of proud black men, and women on these videos standing up for America and don't like the disrespect either.

it's regressive because the author is a regressive feminist. she also misses the mark totally on her solution; "If Canadian fathers can be convinced to take on a greater portion of parental leave, the workplace disadvantages faced by Canadian mothers will be reduced in lockstep. Employers would no longer have a systemic preference for male over female candidates based on the likelihood of them disappearing for a year-and-a-half after childbirth. If both sexes are equally likely to take time off post-pregnancy, there’s no reason to discriminate on any grounds.". She's making the giant, huge assumption that all women who take maternity leave are married or living with the father, which as we know is in itself a very non-feminist attitude and frowned upon by many of their lesbian feminist leaders.. As usual, as with all feminist "solutions" it's short sighted at best. As a wise MAN once said...be careful what you wish for.....

Uh, no. Transgender-ism is now being moved away from the LBG continuum and into the study of "body - dimorphism" - like anorexics and body builders, what they see in the mirror, does not match what they believe/desire in their head. Unlike the science behind being gay (various parts of the brain being different from their sex, hormones in the womb, etc.), there is no hard science for TG. The general guidance on this was started because there is zero correlation between people with conditions like "Kleinfelters" (sp) syndrome, and transsexualism - that is people whose DNA, XX, XY - is opposite from their outward appearance. The men/women who have been discovered (because they are all sterile) having such conditions show no desire to be transformed to the sex that would equate to their actual genetic make-up. (i.e. the men who are XX, do not want to be women, and vise -versa). TG people should be given all the protection, etc., we all enjoy, but there is still much to be learned.

I agree. We have set up women to be the main lay ministers by our ordination practices that are wholly sexist & then treat them like they are arrogant because they want a living wage for often full-time work same as their priest. This is true even though many of these women have college loans to pay off & a family to support while the priest in the parish is viewed as the poor guy who sacrificed everything for the church while he is getting about 35,000 a year salary & all his meals, clothes, housing & maid & cooking services provided for free. Nothing Christian in that scenario. I am not at all worried about clericalizing the laity, as if that could actually happen. The threat that never was. We do need to stop clericalizing men in our church over women & we need to end the permanent deaconate because it has proven to be sexist, clericalizing, racist, while attributing to wealth disparity & ethnic disparity in ordained ministry. We need to replace deacons with lay ministers.

The war on people's choices and constraints continues. For decades men have been bashed, and paraded around as patriarchal totalitarian sexist fascist pigs, (and otherwise ignored in terms of failures that need addressing) but now we're "needed" to play White Knight in order to get their agenda, based on deceptive stats at best, realized? I think the kind answer would be "eat my shorts".

Only MEN can get most Women pregnant and since they won't choose celibacy that's EXACTLY WHY abortion ON DEMAND, without interference nor restrictions needs to BE the LAW here. Against it? Then DON'T have ONE!

The reformation was not an accomplishment but a tragedy. Christ prayed that they may become one. Certain good things did emerge from the reformation (because God draws good from evil) like the counter reformation, but the fracture of Christ's flock in the west cannot be celebrated. Unlike some, I don't think Luther was an evil man by any means. I view him as a tragic figure. If he had not left the Church he could have been the next Saint Francis of Assisi; a great former who "rebuilt" the church through his witness and holy example. There would be Saint Luther churches all over and western Christianity would be united. In my view, it is a tragedy history did not go this way.

Likely? Have you an actual cite? Regardless, if, as he claims, the sex was consensual, she would have his DNA as well. This isn't television, all most physical evidence can do is place someone at a scene, it doesn't determine guilt nor innocence of a criminal act. DNA is most useful in excluding suspects in a case of alleged rape, or impeaching the testimony of an alleged perpetrator who denies they were there at all. Also, if both were impaired, then it is paternalistic and destructive to her agency to charge him with rape and not her using the "impairment removes consent" standard. Unless of course you buy into the Victorian notion that only men "want sex" and women are frail, helpless creatures who merely submit to it at best. This is why rape investigations need to be made by actual police, not incompetent kangaroo courts driven by Title IX "Friend letters" explicitly saying to weight the process in favor of the accuser and remove due process protections from the accused.

Interesting that this column - and the apps - are all about moms. What about dads? With all of the outrage and handwringing around the gender income gap, which is due almost exclusively to educated and affluent women of those sort who presumably use these apps dropping out of full-time work to raise kids, you'd think we might want to move past the assumptions and stereotypes of who looks after young kids.

"UO alum takes the helm of Taylor’s ..." C'mon headline writer, Hattar is a UO graduate or alumnus, but not an "alum." Alum is a "double sulfate of various metals", whatever that means. Seems like the newspaper in a university city would know a male grad is an "alumnus", a female grad is an "alumna", and the plural is "alumni" (formerly alumnae.) With graduation time approaching we'd like to see all these new alumni treated with appropriate academic respect.

How dare you imply the left uses tax breaks....they are the virtue of honesty and integrity...last week Antifa wrote off the Bike Locks they utilized in Charlottesville...not to mention the money spent on their lawyers for being rabble rousers (Not assault on the police)... Good lord man! Do yo not understand the only way to build the economy is by taxing the shrinking middle class?

Good point but consider this, you shouldn't take a bath in chicken blood and jump in a crocodile infested River. Then blame the crocodile for eating you. 99% of men would never even consider raping anyone drunk or sober. She unfortunately found that 1% through her bad decision making process. But let's remember, this is only her side of the story.

And I'm sure Obama's chain of succession was filled with only people of love, and never did anything wrong. I'm sure I could make a list just like yours showing your hypocrisy, but it's lunchtime. It's also creepy to read about a woman getting dressed. So what has she done prior and since? Walked around outside in the cold? I did that while shoveling all the global warming from my driveway. I think I accomplished more. And to all the men I saw wearing those stupid hats..pathetic beta-types.

Then, 24 hours later, these teen boys abduct a man and take him to the same house! A 16-year-old girl was there at 4:00 in the morning. Troopers arrested Damien, Devin and Austin Barrett that afternoon, at the Jasper house. They had them in custody. Did law enforcement not make the connection to the shooting the day before? Damien had an outstanding warrant; Austin had been arrested for theft the week before. It's quite clear he violated release conditions, at the very least. Unbelievable. Obviously, none of them fear the police. How does this happen that the adult "property custodian" can get away with this when police KNOW about it? How many houses are there that operate this way? That has to be addressed; it's no small thing.

Science Duck, I take your comments seriously unlike domestikgoddez and her ilk. I think it is a struggle to figure out the right level of institutional discrimination which is an element of female only shelters. From basic principle, I think folks should be treated without discrimination. To say that females require separate care from males sounds like discrimination to me and contradicts notions such as women serving on the front lines as men's equals. I do not know how to resolve the matter. Individuals are different. Some are strong, some are smart, some are attractive, some need protection. Do we want to discriminate based on individual properties or do we take the short cut ignoring individual differences and differentiate based on gender. Gender based decisions mean that strong women will be eligible while weak men will not. What is best? Hard to tell. Even raising the question for discussion sets the domestikgoddez types into choruses of you are a misogynist.

The president elect's wife seems to have worked illegally in the USA which is exactly the problem that the Trump campaign railed against from the start. However I will bet even Director Comey, or ICE will not investigate or prosecute. Men's money and demands lead many women into questionable and dangerous jobs. Our country needs to have a level playing field for women, blacks Latinos and all the 100 other nationalities in just Anchorage. We have many Vietnamese in nail shops, hello cancer. Much of the real work in California agriculture is done by Spanish speakers, cancer,cancer and cancer. MRS Obama has been an effective parent, working on many issues related to children. She has come out and made coherent and stirring speeches. She has bought clothing from middle of the road America and has been an example to women and men worldwide. All in the face of blatant racism by many whom took an oath to defend and uphold the constitution. Also had parts of her speech lifted by Mrs. Trump.

In Canada, just as in The Netherlands and many other countries, we cannot and are not allowed to talk about equal treatment of any gender, religion etc. as the stakeholders and interest groups have so much power. Yes, women in certain areas of societal ladder etc. do not have equality, just as men have it in other fields etc. Same with religion. Do you walk around naked in Iran or Turkey? We adapt to the culture etc. The whole discussion should be equal treatment here in Canada, not gender this and that, or religion etc. These are the values of society, and if you want to live there you adapt. Here we can't talk about many things, equal treatment for men by the family court system? or rape cases for men and women? equal career opportunities for men in the health care system? for women in businesses etc.?

Michael, I was struck by exactly the same things while reading. What does "accompaniment" mean in the context of rigid and scientifically illiterate teachings about sex and gender? Does it mean you say the same tired things in a soft voice? I agree as well that young people will not change. Too many of them have been brought up in an education system that emphasizes weighing evidence and thinking critically, not right or wrong answers. Their common sense and compassion also tell them that some restrictions are leftovers of a bygone era where women were not people and men decided what everybody would do with their genitals.

To compare a "boob man" who looks at exposed breasts is a pervert and a criminal worthy of comparison to a rapists, is bizarre and terribly wrong. Personally speaking, I am a self-described "boob man" and will look when I can. But I don't want to get caught ogling, I respect boobs too much.

Have you READ all the available information? The women both had consensual sex; the man is a playboy, and the girls got mad and got even. Billy-boy brought up wmd on the eve of the monica investigation. Poor Bush bought in to the lies. (Though I have always thought Bush, Sr threw the race to Bill.) They are all in bed together! And please, would you people retire McCain! He is a war monger, a dork, a tired old fool.
