http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~rjensen/freelance/masculinefeminineorhuman.htm; When that list is complete, I ask the women to observe while the men answer a second question: When you are in all-male spaces, such as the locker room or a night out with the guys, what do you say to each other about what it means to be a man? How do you define masculinity when there are no women present?

The students, both men and women, laugh nervously, knowing the second list will be different from the first. The men fumble a bit at first, as it becomes clear that one common way men define masculinity in practice is not through affirmative statements but negative ones -- it's about what a man isn't, and what a real man isn't is a woman or gay. In the vernacular: Don't be a girl, a sissy, a fag. To be a man is to not be too much like a woman or to be gay, which is in large part about being too much like a woman.

From there, the second list expands to other descriptions: To be a man is to be a p layer, a guy who can attract women and get sex; someone who doesn't take shit from people, who can stand down another guy if challenged, who doesn't let anyone else get in his face. Some of the men say they have other ideas about masculinity but acknowledge that in most all-male spaces it's difficult to discuss them.

A player is someone who tries hard to attract women and to get sex, not someone who can attract women and get sex. If being able to attract women be bad, blame women not men, since they are the ones whose traits dictate what attracts them! And I'd say that someone who doesn't take shit from people is not someone who doesn't let others get in his face, it is more someone who doesn't get intimidated when others get in his face. And it is not that toxic men view masculinity as not being gay, they more view masculinity as being sodomizers rather than as being fond of being sodomized (but they don't use the word "sodomize" because these people don't differentiate between screwing one hole vs. screwing another hole, instead they would say men screw, women get screwed; they use "screw" (or "f@*k") so as to include both sex and sodomy.)

Robert Jensen comes across so much the stereotypical guilty male bending over backwards to appease henpecking feminist fanatics by adopting asexuality that his essays are actually interesting in a ridiculous sort of way. Rarely are males so admirably honest as to be openly this stereotypical, though being honest about hypocrisy is, well, only being half-honest, I'd say; he ought to be more concerned with being true to his own (male) innate tendencies and stop being dishonest with himself lest he defame his own sex. It's curious he doesn't ever seem to feel guilty about pandering toward females, since he seems to feel guilty about a great deal else.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/14/washington/14fannieweb.html; Here's to hoping the American people won't put up with this outrageous proposal to bailout the bastions of greed that have long been impoverishing our citizens with debt. So tell me, Are we to finance the proposed government handouts to investors by inflating the currency with reckless printing or by increasing taxes? So what if almost the whole lending system fails? That's a good thing, not a bad thing. To avoid deflation, it would force the government to replace debt money with pristine money that does not arise from debt (say, by a year or so of using the printing press in lieu of taxes), giving overburdened debtors a fresh start, and would occasion a weeding out of the most reckless gamblers and fools from the bloated financial sector.

The New York Times & Log In: Jun 12, 8:37am 1 review economics, obama-economics-politics
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/12/business/12econ.html?em&ex=1213416000; Worrisome article suggesting Obama is forging close relations with economists aligned with the Wall Street investment banks. The Wall Street investment banks are more to blame for our country's economic problems (even our high oil prices) than the oil companies. Why does Obama want to be associated with someone (Rubin) who is chairman of the executive committee of Citigroup, the company whose shady SIVs ignited the economic crisis, and which with Rubin's help lobbied for the appeal of the Glass-Steagal Act, thereby making it easier for banks to speculate? If come election day, it seems that Obama is more in the pocket of the investment banks than McCain, I am voting for McCain. Just because general opinion is that Democrats say they are the party against big money doesn't mean it is true. There are two ways to deal with our financial mess. (1) Deal with the underlying cause: responsibly restrict banks from lending like madmen and at the same time monetize debt by throwing money at the people to offset the conocomitant monetary contraction. Or, (2) one can just throw money at banks and encourage them to lend it as usual, pretending nothing fundamental is wrong, causing mass poverty and (in my opinion but not I suppose that of the pollyannish investment bank executives) not really doing anything for the banks except to delay their fall. The amount of money the banks need is so great that eventually, the American people won't tolerate any more handouts toward them. If our country chooses the second option rather than the first, the suffering this will cause to ordinary people all over the world will be extreme. If we choose the first option, ending the policy of easy debt that has long been a ball-and-chain tied to our feet, we will be better off than before. The difference is night-and-day and is the issue of this campaign, imao. Blowing air in a balloon with a hole in it may inflate the balloon temporarily, but it makes the hole bigger and is a waste of air. The right approach is to fix the hole first (by restricting lending), blow it up (by giving people money), and then refrain from overfilling it in the future (by keeping lending under control).

http://hsgac.senate.gov/public/_files/052008Masters.pdf; Millions of people will probably starve because of institutional investors speculating in commodity futures. Apparently, a recent scheme allows index speculators to not face speculative position limits. All they have to do is enter into a swap with a Wall Street bank. If I understand it right, the bank can buy as many wheat, oil, etc., futures as demanded, and then enter into a swap with the speculator to ensure that the speculator will gain a handsome profit if the price of the commodity rises (or a loss if the price fails). The author estimates the increase in demand for oil arising from increased virtual hoarding arising from increased commodity future speculation is only slightly less than the increased demand from China's growing real demand for oil. Of course, much of the increased speculation in commodities arises from there not being good safe alternative investments on account of the more general financial mess (e.g., interest rates on treasury notes are low considering that prices are increasing).

http://www.drewheffron.com/files/gimgs/13_funnyometer.gif; In the three valued logic I am developing, I think of ha P as being the meet of P and silly P, which makes "ha" idempotent (and orthogonal to "true"). But I don't claim that there might not be a more reasonable logic (with more truth values) with "ha" not idempotent (i.e., with ha squared not necessarily equal to ha). A guess is that the number of "ha"s ideally probably represents something more subtle than merely a matter of the degree of silliness, however.

http://drseussisdead.stumbleupon.com/; From his review of me: Go to the woods outside of Winston, you'll find a staircase beyond the well, an onyx staircase that seems to descend ceaselessly into the earth.

You don't need to go to Winston to find a pristine life-giving hole in close proximity to an ominous hole that only a monster or a fool would go into. From my study of the digestive system in biology class, I consider myself knowledgeable enough to take the liberty of correcting you. The patch of "fresh soil" you describe at the bottom is actually manure. Onyx staircase? To be sure if there is an onyx staircase leading into it, monsters have frequented it. Whatever the case, avoid it. But if you don't, you won't find any part of me there, in the ominous hole. Sodomizing is not my thing, duh, never has been.

The New York Times & Log In: Mar 31, 7:12am 1 review teen-life, sex-abstinence
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/30/magazine/30Chastity-t.html?pagewanted=2&ei=...; In a follow-up study to a 1995 national survey of close to 12,000 students in grades 7 through 12, two sociologists, Peter Bearman at Columbia University and Hannah Br�ckner at Yale, found that while those who took virginity pledges preserved their technical virginity about 18 months longer than teenagers who didn't pledge, they were six times more likely to engage in oral sex than virgins who hadn't taken a pledge.

Well, this only suggests what should be obvious to people, namely that you can't scare kids into being ashamed of their innocent desires, without making them less ashamed of depraved desires. In fact, this study suggests that scaring them of the wrong thing makes them six times more likely to suck. And I bet the excuse oral sodomizers use when they seduce girls is that they are morally better than the good males the girls naturally from their own innocent pure-as-snow natures want to fuck on the rare occasions girls innocent as snow want to fuck. Of course, 18 months later, after the erstwhile innocent-as-snow girls' natural sexual sensibilities are all screwed up by oral sodomy, the now skanks end up losing their virginity anyways, only now quite possibly to the vile monsters they've been spending 18 months gaping at with eyes warped by their new addiction.

By nature, every girl's sexual desires and lusts are innocent as snow. Girls aren't depraved by nature, they are made depraved. And people who scare them into viewing innocent sexual lust as depraved are almost as much to blame as those who encourage depravity directly.

Not that the secular miseducators are any more enlightened. For what does spending great effort to convince young people that they need to be very careful when having sex not to create pregnencies amount to? Well, I daresay that a girl might just be smart enough to understand biology sufficiently to understand her sexuality as being mainly significant on account of it ennabling reproduction, what keeps people from dying out. Is shaming a girl of her natural desire to reproduce when very young if greatly in love any less likely to lead to depravity than a church shaming a girl of her natural sexual emotions? Somehow despite their vaunted scientific pretentions, the secular anti-teen-pregnancy fananatics just don't get the same meaning from reading biology textbooks that I would, though. Well, I guess if they aren't screwing asses themselves, they are too busy getting their asses screwed by men trying to convince them that their past screwed-up ness was on account of their having sex too young instead of having tried oral or rectal sodomy for 18 months beforehand, because they want to continue plying oral and rectal sodomy themselves. Well, not really, most people with improper attitudes about young female sexuality and depravity are just people somewhat more innocently led astray by the predominant lies, but the clamorors for evil, yeah I have described them well enough I hazard.
