1. Salon advice columnist tells a wife who is angry at her husband for attending a strip club during a bachelor party:
Why would you find your husband’s enjoyment of strip clubs offensive? Might it be that you find it offensive because it represents something that is truly offensive? And what might that be? Might the selling of women’s bodies be in some way offensive, as the selling of slaves’ bodies is offensive?
I would think that simple jealousy is at the heart of her anger and frustration, not some deep feminine concern for power disparities.
2. It’s ridiculous that Penn State may lose *academic* accreditation after the Sandusky scandal. This is another example of the government getting the hooks in these institutions and just bending them to the government’s will. Not only will Penn State’s current students be harmed if this accreditation is taken away, but alumni degrees will also decrease in value moreso than they already have.
3. Kobe Bryant’s wife thinks that a marriage to a famous athlete is only conceivable if said athlete has won a championship. Anything less would be uncivilized or something.
4. Jezzie author who was slapped around by Ramesh Ponnuru yesterday asks whether airlines can force men to switch seats away from unaccompanied minors. The Jezzie seems to believe that it is OK for this to happen because, statistics – statistics which the Jezzie author would probably ignore when the topic turns to black-on-white crime or stop-and-frisk. Also, Juan Williams was a bigot for having a fleeting and irrational fear that some Muslims on his airplane were terrorists. How many people irrationally believe that lone men on airplanes are pedophiles?

Kobe might have to pony up for something expensive again to pacify his wife. He already bought her that $4,000,000 ring after he raped that chick in Colorado.
I glad Kobe doesn’t have a nice, sweet wife. She’s perfect for him.
The wife, who wrote the letter about the strip club, is completely neurotic. A lot of men would be driven crazy by her, but some men like women like that.
That Jezebel airline link isn’t as bad as you make it out to be. She does write:
.
I even like one of her solutions*:
As to what you wrote, I mean, If I were to bet I’d bet that she’s probably against NYC’s stop and frisk policy, but one doesn’t know. Groups and tribes aren’t as monolithic as we think.
*Just what are the statistics on children being molested in planes? A 5 minute Google search didn’t reveal anything substantial. The Jez author states:
and molestation incidents in the skies aren’t as uncommon as I would’ve guessed..
The story she links to, a story from 2009, really only describes a handful of incidents.
As to what you wrote, I mean, If I were to bet I’d bet that she’s probably against NYC’s stop and frisk policy, but one doesn’t know. Groups and tribes aren’t as monolithic as we think.
I’m guessing that NYC’s card-carrying media liberals would always toe the party line tightly and denounce Bloomberg’s stop-and-frisk if asked about it in a public setting. (because that’s what liberals do))
But don’t expect any of them to actually DO much to stop the policy. (because they know it works to stem the tide of NAM criminality)
they are all “against stop and frisk” but they sure love being able to walk around most of manhattan and civilized brooklyn
The point about the airplane politics: Advocating for blacks in pullovers is fine; for women in any situation is fine; bot for men generally, no. Men are the Universal Enemy, unless you have an out (like being black), so you can target them.
It’s “creepy” to defend men in any way. It’s the Victim Hierarchy: what you’re allowed to do in defense of someone is entirely dependent on where in the hierarchy you fall.
Any white man – any white man – who so much as raises an eyebrow at some notion is immediately suspect. You have no category to apply to yourself.
In the New Left, in the dawning age of recycled Marxist thought, actual individuals simply don’t exist. Only categories matter. And you need those categories and labels, above all else.
If you don’t have one, you’re a universal target, and anything ever done to you is absolutely acceptable because even if you’re guilty of nothing, simply by being a member of a defined group without a Victim card to play (in the right place in the hierarchy), you’re a Malignant Evil.
Therefore, humiliation and singling out of people is fine.
Pretty much every left-wing commentary these days depends vitally on victim politics. When a dozen black men raped a hispanic girl and used her badly, the fact of their blackness was a very uncomfortable truth. The inconvenience of the incident could be glossed over by simply not talking about it.
Interestingly, I see fistfights emerging over which groups should have ultimate priority. Is it women? Minorities? Religious zealots? Children?
Get ready for the new Culture Wars, and keep your Victim ID cards handy.
Penn State:
Thuggery. It’s very straightforward. This government has morphed into a nightmare the original founders and most Americans would be terrified of. This is exactly the kind of thing the constitution was meant to prevent. Instead, the country is less free than most other Western countries and where it is free, it’s despite the institutions, not because of them.
Wow, and Penn State is even changing their uniforms. That’s crazy.
“Might it be that you find it offensive because it represents something that is truly offensive? And what might that be?”
It’s funny how Puritanical, self-righteous sanctimony HAS to find some outlet in SWPL culture. It’s a feature, not a bug. They can only tolerate so much at once!
Gay adoption and sex reassignment surgeries are OK now? All right, then, we’ll judge bachelor parties and scream “CREEP!” at bros whose gf is 10 years younger.
RE: victim hierarchies, one sentence jumped out at me in the strip-club column: “I also knew that it would have been unreasonable for him not to go – he had already paid for everything and one of our dear mutual friends, who is both gay and decidedly not a douche, would be there with him.”
So if the guy has a gay “minder” keeping an eye on him, the wife feels better about it? LOL
“Any white man – any white man – who so much as raises an eyebrow at some notion is immediately suspect. You have no category to apply to yourself.

And this is why logic and reason do very little. The New Left is a hate-ideology based entirely on castigating white men for all the world’s problems.
atc, certainly liberalism is not about to give up shame as a tool of social manipulation, huh. And you can’t shame someone effectively except from a position of moral authority, so even liberalism cannot dumb morality down all the way to “whatever consenting adults do is OK as long as they don’t hurt others.” They aren’t trying to eliminate shaming, just repurpose it by changing the background scenery. I’m the guy with the younger woman myself, never had any flack. But I look younger than my age so maybe that’s why.
@Lara: “but some men like women like that.”
It’s not that they like women like that, it’s more that they had no other options and had to settle.
I think the proper response here is to agree, but then very loudly say that you’ll move only if they don’t put you next to a black person, because, you know, blacks are statistically more likely to commit a crime.
Kobe Bryant’s wife thinks
I do not believe that for a second.
1) Americans don’t seem to get that the US is one of the few countries that makes prostitution illegal. And watching simple jelaousy being sold as some kind of high moral cause makes me gag. What part of “it takes two to tango” is so hard to understand?
2)Penn State should have just took 3-4 years without football and be done with it (specially after the Freeh Report). All this is just more spectacle for newspapers, crusaderists and the PSU worshippers. But then, Penn State has proven that they will do anything to keep the football program running, so fuck them.
3)Kobe isn’t a saint of my devotion, but his ex is a cunt. And that seems like a chance to cash on the recent Lakers hate caused by the Dwight trade. And/or she ran out of chilimony.
4)Jezzie is a sewer from the big Gawker sewer. The obvious out, this is another example of Leftie hypocrisy: Profiling (a cute word for stereotypes) is A-OK when is “the enemy” that is on the receiving end.
Speaking of Leftie stereotypes, a recent one is that gun owners are all racist Southern stereotypes.
Men were chased out of teaching due to this irrational fear of ephobophila, now all you see are female teachers molesting boys.

There’s an uncomfortable fact out there, becoming better and better known: A heckuva lot of women diddle little boys, and some girls, as well. I saw some stats on the number of women who molest their own children, and the studies I saw showed that the stats were the same as for men.
I know two men who, while adults now, are scarred; both were sexually abused by their mothers. It’s a lot more comon than people think.
And then there’s the crazies. Crazy knows no gender restrictions.
‘he raped that chick in Colorado.’
Oh yeah, I’m sure Kobe needed to rape a woman to have sex. Please, that was a blatant cashgrab from an attention whore and you know it.
Also the statistics thing is bunk to liberals unless it fits their narritive, I say the same thing to my sister, who I would consider a really smart woman (a MD). She just shoves off the stats as a product of racial bias on part of police officers and society.
I’m guessing it wasn’t all sweet love making with that girl and Kobe either. He was probably rough and not nice at all. Go look up her picture, she’s very cute.
Even so, I was glad the case was dropped, as seemed to be most people. She went in to his room willingly and was probably being pretty flirtatious. I really didn’t want another trial involving a high profile black athlete and all the social unrest that would follow.
Kobe is a jerk. He isn’t a threat to society, though. Hopefully, he learned his lesson. Kobe and the woman settled out of court. He is still getting plenty of sex from white women. It seems to have worked out for everyone.
Athletes expect sex from attractive women who take up their time.
Lara, she wasn’t attractive, and a little fat to boot. She was like Monica Lewinsky in that respect, without the “Hey wait a minute, I think I was raped” angle. Her underwear also had semen stains from 3 different guys. She was batshit.
I frequently see Kobe Bryant and his family out and about. He lives up the street from me.
The reactions of White men when they see him in public is pathetic.
Kobe’s wife is a complete bitch, according to people I know who have dealt with her.
She drives a huge white SUV. The license plate frame on the back has this message for tailgaters:
“If you’re gonna ride my ass, at least pull my hair”.
Classy.
