Gains in women's rights haven't made women happier. Why is that?"
...Of course, things happened during the period in question that probably made American women less happy. Take, for example, the massive rise in incarceration rates among their actual and potential male partners. (This rise wouldn't have left traces in the male happiness data because prisoners were not included in life satisfaction surveys.)...

Hillary Clinton asserted that women "have always been the primary victims of war" during a domestic violence conference in 1998.

        In his defense, isn't Obama more like an emperor than a PM? In his mind anyway?
        
        Indeed; at least with a PM, Parliament can issue a Vote Of No Confidence, and immediately remove a PM. Much harder to do with a monarch.
        
        UKR has recently proven a sitting President can be forcibly removed, by the by....
      2. Eternal Blue Sky 9 years ago
        
        In Japan, like many countries with a monarch, the person who's JOB it is to make token and symbolic appearances internationally is the EMPEROR, while the Prime Minister is given the job of actually doing shit to run the country.
        
        Just because America stupidly decided that the person running the country should ALSO be the person who makes ultimately pointless, purely symbolic, international appearances doesn't mean you should expect that foreign Prime Ministers should be tasked with the same thing.
        
        America's official "Symbolic Visitor" is the President. Japan's is the Emperor. Thus, a symbolic visit from the Emperor should be sufficient for your demands. Unlike America, Japan doesn't have it's Prime Minister waste his time with such things, that's what their monarch is for.

Dear Sh*tty Wives: This Is Your Wake-Up Call

Women Are Now Cheating As Much As Men, But With Fewer Consequences
...But the prevailing theory is that modern marriage is what's killing marriage ? that the more deliberation women put into whom they pair up with, the more willing and motivated they are to make a move when something's not working. "The gender gap in adultery is closing, and it's not just about opportunity and possibility," says Helen Fisher, PhD, author of Anatomy of Love: A Natural History of Mating, Marriage, and Why We Stray. "But it is about choice. Women now are more aware of the alternatives to monogamy and more inclined to demand to have all their needs met. That's because happiness is such an important part of marriage. Fewer women are marrying out of need; instead, they're marrying to please themselves. But that also means when they're dissatisfied with something they feel justified to go elsewhere."...

..."Women are more forgiven because it's the struggle of being a certain type of powerful woman," she says. "You were a different person when you began the relationship. And he's just not."

      RED FLAG. She is irredeemable and the longer your brother is with this cunt the more likely that his life will be ruined.
      1. Brochettaward 9 years ago
        
        She is awful, but he deserves her in my book. I'm not find of either brother, but he recently fucked the other one over badly by calling the cops on him. He's a sack of shit. So I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the show.
        
        Free Society 9 years ago
        
        That does sound like a match made in hell. I don't care how much you don't get along with siblings, calling the long arm of the law on your own family without a really really good fucking reason is a huge betrayal. If one of my siblings did that to another sibling, I would most assuredly never speak to them again. But then again, I'm someone that puts a high premium on family and loyalty. As far as I'm concerned, if it came down to it, it's my family versus the world. Everyone else can get fucked.
        
        Brochettaward 9 years ago
        
        I'm not a big family guy, but yea - it's incredibly disloyal, especially given the context. The other brother had helped the shitbag a number of times financially and in other ways.
        
        My oldest brother was on probation for a DUI. When the stuff with the other one's fiance went down, she was drunk and called my now-arrested brother's phone leaving voice mails saying she loved him. The other one, the idiot, attacked him and busted up his face over it. There was no affair or nothing. Just a dumb drunk bitch causing drama. And not for the first time.
        
        Fast forward a few months. My oldest brother is drunk on probation. He has an argument with the other one with the fiance present, brings it up. The younger one shoves him. There's no contest in the fight, he's held to the ground, but the asshole calls the cops.
        
        He wanted my oldest brother out of the place and told me he figured he'd be locked up for five to six months, but claims he just wanted to get him help. And my attitude is fuck him and I would love to give him payback when I can.
2. WTF 9 years ago
  
  Women cheat more because there are few negative consequences for them to ending the marriage. They still get to keep the kids, and the house, and half the assets, and force the man to keep paying for it all.

    Basically this. Actually, nothing basic about it. 100% correct.

    2. Cyto 9 years ago
      
      Except for the whole "men cheat more" basic premise. It fails at simple math. If men were cheating 3x more than women, that means that each woman who is having sex outside of marriage is having sex with many more partners than men do. But the claim is also that men also have more partners. This is just not possible.
      
      Unless all these guys have been cheating with other guys, the ratio has to be close to 1:1. There are a few extra females to go around, but not that many.
      1. UnCivilServant 9 years ago

        But that would mean that on average women had more partners. Unless they are confusing average with median. In which case the curve for the number of partners a woman has in her life would have to have 2 peaks, one near the median and another around a significantly higher number
      2. Free Society 9 years ago

HIROSHIMA SURVIVOR: 'I think it was an apology'
..."It is worth focusing on Hiroshima, but it's even more important that we should not forget Nanjing," Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told reporters on Friday, according to the ministry's website.

China says Japanese troops in 1937 killed 300,000 people in its then-capital of Nanjing. A postwar Allied tribunal put the death toll at 142,000, but some conservative Japanese politicians and scholars deny that a massacre took place at all.

"The victims deserve sympathy, but the perpetrators can never escape their responsibility," Wang said.

Gawker: An Open Letter to Peter Thiel
...I thought we had all moved on, not realizing that, for someone who aspires to immortality, nine years may not be such a long time as it seems to most of us. Max Levchin, your fellow founder at Paypal, told me back in 2007 you were concerned about the reaction, not in Silicon Valley, but among investors in your hedge fund from less tolerant places such as Saudi Arabia. He also warned of the retribution you would exact if a story was published about your personal life.

Your revenge has been served well, cold and (until now) anonymously. You admit you have been planning the punishment of Gawker and its writers for years, and that you have so far spent $10 million to fund litigation against the company. Charles Harder, the Hollywood plaintiff's lawyer who has marshaled your legal campaign, is representing not just the wrestler Hulk Hogan on your behalf, but two other subjects of stories in suits against Gawker and its editorial staff....

  I still am not sure how Terry Bollea successfully sued Gawker on the premise that they were intruding on the privacy of private citizen Terry Bollea rather than public figure Hulk Hogan but the damages were assessed based on the value of Hulk Hogan's public persona. As long as it wasn't Gawker actually breaking in and planting hidden cameras, doesn't freedom of the press cover broadcasting information from whatever source derived except in a few public safety exceptions? (I'm thinking of the deal where there was a hostage situation in a bank or office building where the live TV cameras were filming through the windows showing people trying to crawl away and hide from the gunmen with no thought at all that the gunmen might be watching the TV news. Did those people get successfully sued?)
  1. Eternal Blue Sky 9 years ago
    
    "I still am not sure how Terry Bollea successfully sued Gawker on the premise that they were intruding on the privacy of private citizen Terry Bollea rather than public figure Hulk Hogan but the damages were assessed based on the value of Hulk Hogan's public persona."
    
    Well, it was a private sex act of Terry Bollea, and at the time he wasn't in character. Also Gawker billed it as a "Hulk Hogan sex tape", thus tying the Hulk Hogan brand with the sex tape. So you could reasonably argue that this violation of Bollea's privacy was used to damage the Hulk Hogan brand.
    
    "As long as it wasn't Gawker actually breaking in and planting hidden cameras, doesn't freedom of the press cover broadcasting information from whatever source derived except in a few public safety exceptions?"
    
    And yet I somehow doubt that people openly selling or redistributing photos they received from "the Fappening" hacker would be permitted in this litigious country just because the redistributors were not the ones that did the hacking. Not saying it's /right/ but at the very least news corporations like Gawker can be held to the same legal standards as private citizens when it comes to distributing illegally obtained pornography.

      Also Gawker moralized against the people who were talking (let alone distributing) "the Fappening" pictures. One of their editors basically said Gawker and Gawker alone decided what was fit to print and anybody who disagreed was a moron plus a lot of other less complimentary things.

        Hypothesis: thin, attractive girls snag a man, have a few kids, and maybe get married. Once the man is legally trapped with all of these things (since he will be ass-raped in family court if he leaves) the woman just gets fat since she knows she probably won't lose her man... And even if she does, it just means she'll cash in on alimony and child support.

  Sharpton's a damn fool. Trump's companies are surely big enough that they have some "blacks and browns" working there. And now Sharpton has handed Trump an ~excuse~ to show off some of his minority employees to prove he isn't racist. If Trump tried this normally, he'd be ridiculed for it like the taco bowl pic and the "I love Hispanics" comment, but now if he does something like that the left can't attack him for it, he'd be doing just what Sharpton demanded of him, and providing what Sharpton himself defined as "proof" that he isn't racist.

        That actually can happen in college athletics, because of Title 9 requirements. Men on practice teams that women's varsity teams play against for practice can be counted toward the total of women athletes.
        
        Groovus Maximus 9 years ago
        
        Which begs two questions:
        
        1) Why differentiate at all, and simply chuck basic biology? That would be the simplest; taxonomy is so 20th century.
        
        2) More importantly, why have Title iX at all ,then, if men can simply be magically, instantaneously, redefined as female for a legal quota? Smacks of either religion or fraud to me. Futhermore, why limit participation only to practice? If they are good enough with whom to practice.....
        
        Zeb 9 years ago
        
        The quota thing really makes it ridiculous and absurd. Maybe fewer women want to play sports than men do, as seems to be the case. At this point I very much doubt that there is significant social pressure or hidden discrimination discouraging women from joining sports teams.
        You can't force people to play, so you have to make up the numbers somehow.

        You can't force people to play, so you have to make up the numbers somehow
        
        Actually, you can, as condition of acceptance or enrollment in a given institution. It is entirely possible to legally require more authentic, factory original girls to play (or merely participate). You seem to forget how much both StateGov and FedGov can compel one to do (or think).
        
        My point Zebulon is the fraud. "Make up," here means both packing teams with players who are not female nor women, and inventing a convenient definition that neither science nor medicine would accept for the male ringers.
        
        Zeb 9 years ago
        
        OK, for the most part they don't force women to play sports more.
        
        And as far as I know, no one is using non-biologically female ringers on women's teams. My point is that Title 9 puts schools in an untenable position.

Have we forgotten how to have 'normal' sex?

I'm not saying the only reason I'm invited to parties is to give an academic perspective on bondage, it's just always been part of my charm. But lately? The shock value just isn't there.

A few weeks ago my fianc? posted a picture of me on Facebook, sitting on our bed playing his guitar. When someone pointed out there was a pair of heavy-duty handcuffs hanging off the bedframe I was mortified, and demanded he take it down. I told this story to friends, expecting them to glory in my shame - but they didn't so much as raise an eyebrow.

Toronto Mayor John Tory shuts down Marijuana Dispensaries two months prior to a MM ruling from The Supreme Court.

And the winning line -

"I don't have any issue with the decriminalization of marijuana, none whatsoever, I support it. It is the right thing to do. But the law is not going to be changed for a year or so... and in the meantime I'm just saying we can't afford to have the Wild West," Tory said, calling the dispensaries "bogus."

I wish it were 'The Wild West', Mayor Tory, because then we might have something approaching real freedom in Toronto, and you would quite possibly catch the bullets you so richly deserve.

Did Canuck the crow swoop off with a knife from a Vancouver crime scene?

Vancouver Courier reporter Mike Howell said he saw the bird ? which had a red tag on its leg as does Canuck ? swoop in and pick up an object from inside an area cordoned off by police tape.

"A cop chased it for about 15 to 20 feet, and then the crow dropped it and took off," Howell told CBC.

"It was really strange. In my 20-plus years reporting from crime scenes, I've never seen anything like that crow trying to take a knife."

N.C. School Considers Skinny Jean Ban Due to Bullying of 'Bigger Girls'

A school district in North Carolina amending its current dress code is considering prohibiting students from wearing "leggings, skinny jeans, and any other excessively tight fitting pants, unless they are covered by a top or dress." The entire posterior must be concealed, and dresses, skirts, skorts, and similar garments must meet the same criteria. Crop tops, spaghetti straps, and gang-related apparel also would be banned under the new changes.

...

Jeannette Nichols, the school board's vice chair, told Fox Wilmington that one of the reasons for introducing the tight pants ban was that some of the "bigger girls" were being bullied.

Beijing fetish restaurant teases with lobster and sex

BEIJING (Reuters) - With drinks served in breast-shaped cups and beers opened with bottle openers shaped like a wooden penis, the father and daughter team behind a Beijing S&M restaurant are encouraging customers to mix food with sex.

Owner Lu Lu, a 27-year-old divorcee, said business has been good since opening just under a year ago, with young Chinese streaming in to feast on seafood, such as lobster, under the gaze of mannequins wearing bondage gear.

Lu's father overcame initial reservations about some of the decor and took charge of the kitchen, dishing up a menu that features items such as 'Horny' and 'Sensuous World'.

"'Food and sex are the basic desires of humans,' and the phrase has not changed in more than 5,000 years," Lu told Reuters. "'Release your basic instincts' and 'Liberate yourself' are the two concepts we used as the basis for the restaurant."

Trump vows to undo Obama's climate agenda in appeal to oil sector

Among the proposals, Trump said he would pull the United States out of the U.N. global climate accord, approve the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada and rescind measures by President Barack Obama to cut U.S. emissions and protect waterways from industrial pollution.

"Any regulation that's outdated, unnecessary, bad for workers or contrary to the national interest will be scrapped and scrapped completely," Trump told about 7,700 people at the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference in Bismarck, the capital of oil-rich North Dakota. "We're going to do all this while taking proper regard for rational environmental concerns."

It was Trump's first speech detailing the energy policies he would advance if elected president. He received loud applause from the crowd of oil executives.

CBS Host: Nobody at Party I Was at Last Night Cares About Clinton's Emails

In the clip flagged by media watchdog NewsBusters, King appeared perturbed that Clinton's server was once again at the forefront.

"So John, put it in perspective," King said. "How big a deal is this really? I was at an event last night, and both Democrats and Republicans were quoting Bernie Sanders saying, 'I'm sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails.'"

"But that was a long time ago, and he's since changed some of that," co-host Charlie Rose said.

"Yeah, he has, but the people at this party last night haven't, so how big a deal is it?" King asked.

"Is this going to improve anybody's wages? Is this going to help their kid get into a college and not be full of debt for the rest of their life? No, but it's about judgment and character," Dickerson said. "And we look at our presidents that way. And the challenge for Secretary Clinton is in the answers, are they going to raise new questions?

People keep saying how unusual this year's presidential race is. They're wrong. It's an absolutely normal Third World election.

We have three candidates still standing: a self-righteous socialist who's learned nothing in 50 years except how to rally the economically illiterate and uninformed; an heir to wealth who's done nothing impressive in 50 years except to hone his skills as a self-promoter and demagogue; and an insider who's climbed the greasy pole alongside her husband, enriching herself and her family through 50 years of "public service." Welcome to the United States of Argentina.

More FOI follies from the George Mason University #RICO20 train wreck: Edward Maibach, 'legal gymnast'

The hapless Dr Maibach, professor of climate change communication at George Mason Univeristy, has been verbally eviscerated by CEI in their latest filings to the court.

Last September, after he signed a letter to Obama demanding that CEI (among others) be prosecuted for RICO violations, CEI filed for official records of his correspondence related to the production of that letter. Dr Maibach told the FOIA officer that he had done it on his own time and that there was no official correspondence.

CEI, having emails from other institutions where the prof usied his GMU email to coordinate the signatories, sued. During a deposition, Maibach admitted that not only had he been doing it on the clock, but also he planned to use the RICO prosecution effort in his classes training students in the highly specialized field of climate change communication.

The judge, having reviewed the emails and the testimony, ruled in April that all the stuff was to be released to CEI.

GMU is blowing off the court order. In the meantime, Maibach has tried to make himself a party to the suit, claiming that the records weren't private but represent "research" that is excluded from VFOIA.

It's a beautiful set of motions, well worth reading.

Democrats should be praying that Hillary loses to Trump. His victory would tarnish conservatism and any small-government impetus in this country, which will be ironic because he'll spend his entire administration cutting deals with Democrats and moving the GOP far to the left. A Trump presidency will do far more to advance progressivism than Hillary's. She's about as flawed and discrediting a figurehead as the party could find, and a further eight years of recession and anemic growth under Democratic rule, let alone her bumbling foreign policy, would be disastrous for the left. But an ersatz right-winger who plays to all the stereotypes of bigoted, blustery conservatism, who meanwhile drags the populist big-government fringe to the center, is a blessing Democrats could hardly have hoped for. He'll do nothing to challenge spending, he'll raise taxes, he'll not say word one about entitlements, and he will cave to the media every time they turn up the heat. He'll give the social justice twerps a permanent target for their ire and keep them off the backs of moderate lefties. Trump may be a formidable opponent to Hillary, but he's a terrific ally for Democrats.

"President Barack Obama is now the first sitting U.S. president to have visited Hiroshima since World War II."

If only pointlessly symbolic gestures were what Obama would be most remembered for!

I wonder if some future American President will ever symbolically visit one of the many sites where Obama killed innocent children with drone strikes.

Did you know Barack Obama has killed more children than Adam Lanza?

Hypothetical:

LP candidate has Perot+ type year, wins some states, throws election into House.

What do they do? Is it possible that Johnson/Weld could get the votes while McAfee has zero chance at that point?

  That sounds plausible. Certainly more plausible than the LP winning some states.

Robinson's contract, which runs through 2020, says the university can suspend payments or terminate him without paying any buyout if he violates "any policy of the university or law involving moral turpitude."

I would suggest that handing the kids over to the police for being involved in voluntary transactions has more moral turpitude than just trying to work it out without the violence of the state.
