Sex Party over at the Countess’s
Several regular readers of this blog are also regular readers of the Countess, who’s been AWOL for a few weeks working on some freelance articles. (No word if she’s also got a futuristic novel in the works and whether it’s better than mine, Paul’s, and Alon’s.) But she’s back on the blog for [...]
Studly Studies
There are now 92 headlines in Google News about the new male contraceptive, all of them variations on the following:
“Male birth control pill reversible!”
“Male contraceptive pill will not damage male fertility!”
“Men on birth control pill are still XXX hot studs!”
Okay, I made up that last one, but that’s pretty much what all the [...]
You know you’re a soulless hack…
…when you read about global dimming and the impending destruction of life as we know it and all you can think is, “How can I work this into my novel?”

A question for other feminist women: do people actually ask you that in real life? I mean real life, not blogland, where knaves run free and idiocy is untrammeled.

4. Warn that the U.N.’s credibility is at stake unless it acts to restrict target nation: check!
Next we’ll have an [...]

Feminism in Iran means the only owner you have to report to is your husband
Here’s a piece in the Guardian about the new crackdown in Iran on women who depart from the Islamic-sanctioned dress code of giant black Hefty bag and ski mask. Fines, jail time, street arrests, the whole bit. That’s sickening enough, but the real heart-stopper is here:

HIV gel: But will it work with a potpourri sachet?
It’s Day 2 of Condoms, AIDS, and Sub-Saharan Africa here at the Reclusive Leftist.
Researchers are announcing development of a new vaginal gel that will help women protect themselves from HIV transmission. It sounds great, though the question that immediately comes to mind is: aren’t condoms already more effective than [...]
Cardinal says condoms okay for diseased married people!
The retired archbishop of Milan, who is obviously some kind of raving moonbat, has said that for married people with AIDS, a condom is a “lesser evil.” Woo hoo! This is a daring position for a cardinal of the Holy Roman Church of Sperm Worship. The Vatican observes a sort [...]
