Kicking. Squealing.

1.  A piece at Feministing ties Brent Musberger’s comments last week about Katherine Webb to “rape culture”.  Even the commenters aren’t buying it.

2.  Yet another Gawker piece about whiteness and gun crime in which the author thinks that readers are dumb enough to buy the argument that Adam Lanza and James Holmes were somehow privileged white kids – and not mentally deranged omegas.  As with the first link, Gawker commenters seem to be fed up with the trope.

3.  Thought Catalog essay titled “I am a Slut”. It strikes me that there are a lot of true sluts who don’t want to be considered sluts, and a lot of non-sluts who do want to be considered sluts.  Given that the author of this essay is very careful and somewhat discerning about sex, she seems to fall into the latter category.

4.  Regardless of a man’s age, a slimmer waisted woman is associated with greater erectile function.  Science lends evidence to what everyone already knew anyway.  h/t Instapundit.  Update:  Heartiste also wrote on it here.

5.  Blogger nydwracu on starting a reactionary medium along the lines of Buzzfeed and Vice.

    Notice how the editorial writer is “super surprised” to have anyone disagree with her. LOL….

    Maybe the male commenter isn’t buying it, but all the women definitely are. They just seem jealous that the QB’s wife snagged a hot guy.

    #4: I think Heartiste posted about this before Instapundit.

    The Feministe lament over Musberger’s remarks is some pretty homely stuff; nice to see some of the site’s loyal readers still have enough intellectual equipoise to call a crock-of-b.s. for what it is. As for those commenters who cheered the whine on? That whole “aids and abets the culture-of-rape”-argument is so fatally reductive; you could literally apply that excuse to any form of cuiltural stimuli and tailor it to the pet gripe of your choice! Get some principles and standards and then you might be able to resist all those oh-so fearsome and naughty social cues.
    One male commenter in particular was just ridiculous,tying his father’s and siblings’ love for sports to some alleged propaganda to objectify women; what a pussywhipped fool.

    Eli Manning’s wife is much hotter than Katherine Webb, IMO.

    As much as I think Rush Limbaugh is full of crap, I have to say he called it regarding how the viewing of male-female relationships has played out in the feminist media.

    I remember tuning into him way back in 1995 or so and hearing him saying something like “They actually can’t handle that a man is attracted to a woman!” At the time, I though this was hyperbole. But as time has gone on, I think he had a point. Men saying women are attractive is starting to come close to thoughtcrime in the media.

    And, yes, I know Mussberger is old as dirt, but today is the old guy that’s the problem, tomorrow it will be your or me. This is made all the more clear because the media seems to celebrate any homosexual union, no matter how dysfunctional. No one ever said Lindsay Lohan and Sam Ronson was creepy — which it was.

    We are living in an age where same-sex couplings are considered the norm and old men wanting to be in the company of young women is a taboo. I have new respect for Brent Musberger.

    Funny how feminists want to criminalize heterosexual male desire while fulfilling their own heterosexual desires for men without any inhibition or shame, as if the latter can possibly happen without the former to facilitate it.

    @Camlost,

    I looked up some images ‘Abby McGrew’ after searching for “Eli Manning’s wife” —— and I thought I’d brought up Jennifer Aniston photos!

    Quick off-topic BTW,
    how bad do you predict the 49′ers are going to roll over your Falcons, now that my fallen Packers were vanquished?

    If entitlement is apart of rape culture then where’s the outrage by feminist over the topic of the lack of good men or men supposedly lacking in the courtship department. Hell no matter where you turn there’s some man or woman who feels entitled to a mate based on who they are, and society feeds into it. “All you have to do is be yourself”.

    @nikcrit

    Are you serious about Eli’s wife looking like Jennifer Aniston? They do not bear even the slightest resemblance to one another. I think this might just be a case of “they all look the same” that people sometimes get when they look at folks of another race.

    Unless there’s some sort of joke that’s going right over my head. Either way, Eli did pretty damn well for himself.

    how bad do you predict the 49′ers are going to roll over your Falcons, now that my fallen Packers were vanquished?

    Nah, man I am a Cowboys fan. The Falcons are a joke. I was at the game yesterday and Pete Carroll was outcoached in comical fashion considering the genius performance of Russell Wilson.

    Ian, I think that Nik was just giving a general compliment, not making a serious comparison.

    I’m no feminist, but Brent Musberger’s old ass should have known better than to say much about Katherine Webb’s appearance. Just call her “lovely” one time and that’s enough, man.

  12. nikcrit 01/14/2013 at 3:34 pm

    Straight up, I was in fact saying that McGrew looked like Aniston IMO;

    No, Ian; i’m not just saying “all you fully white folks look the same!” lol!

    You be the judge; look at the second photo from the top in this link; could you not mistake that image for Aniston’s?

    chuck: sorry for momentarily going off topic —— but this is obviously a serious and rueful matter here!

    Feminism and self-proclaimed slut-hood – providing middle class girls with risk-free rebellion since 1965.

    I am interested in my career, my friends, my apartment, getting a dog someday, and learning how to ice skate better.

    It wouldn’t make me any less likely to love shitty reality television I know is bad for me.

    Fly your freak flag high sister,
