    That's the most ridiculous thing I've read in a while. Not that I'm surprised this kind of crap shows up in something like Men's Fitness.

    It's appropriate that cover of Men's Fitness has Chris Pine holding a baseball bat on the cover, because he should beat the guy who wrote that article with it.

    It's easy....just threaten young white girls that they're going to get gangraped by a group of black/Latino/athlete/etc. guys when they go to college.

    Though I do take some comfort in knowing it's not just anAlabama thing.
    Parents in Central America are doing it before they emigrate.

    UK is guaranteed to have a second Female Prime Minister. I believe we are the first major Western country to have two female leaders.

    What's more disturbing is that the gender of May and Leadsom, with the latter also claiming to be better than May by virtue of being a mother, is being used to airbrush out that they each have a set of very right-wing, bonkers policies.

    But hey, they're both women so that doesn't matter. There has been some comment on the nature of each of their politics being far from supportive of women but that'll be drowned out by the megaphone of 'second female PM'.

    Well yeah, too bad the next one will be every bit as hell-spawned as its predecessor.

    Megyn Kelly has come forward to say that Roger Ailes sexually harassed her, as well. As with many issues, Megyn Kelly may be a sell-out overall, but we can all be glad during the times she does stand up for women's rights and other people's rights.

    Anybody have an opinion of songs sung by men that are covered by women? I gotta say that I often like both versions.

    Long as a song sounds good and lacks too many romantic overtones(my preference) it's a good song.

    Here's a story to get the blood boiling this morning.

    1) Jane Doe was raped in Texas.
    2) She had difficulty testifying in the trial of her rapist. The court ordered a recess and a continuance date, 28 days later.
    3) As a result, she was given a medical screening.
    4) Her medical records were illegally obtained by the prosecution, who discovered from the screening that she suffered from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
    5) The prosecution lied to Jane's family by telling them she would be kept under medical care at a hospital until the date of her testimony.
    6) Jane Doe was kept in prison for one month, to make sure she was available to testify - prosecutors thought she may run. While wrongfully imprisoned, Jane suffered gruesome injuries and was humiliated regularly.

    In the one decent aspect of this story, Jane's rapist was convicted and given two life sentences. Hopefully somebody gathers up the jackass attorneys and sues them into oblivion in civil court, and Jane lives out her days in health, wealth, and peace.

    Love it; and it goes both ways. Malcolm Middleton's 'Girl Songs EP' is both heartfelt and subversive in the best ways.

    When was the UK "western"? You had a couple of "leaders" as Queens.

    Uhhhhhh. Even I'm not sure at times. I use the Walter Chronkite aproach. "Let someone say something then counterpoint him/her"

    That's not what Walter Cronkite did. And being contrarian for the hell of it is annoying at best, trolling at worst.

    Well getting back on topic. What is the true nature of feminists? Pro-women or anti-men? As a man I'm not sure.

    In my study of it it often is both while denying the latter.
