Speaking of turkeys, the ROCK blogger’s at it again. Debunking of this post is here. The ROCK blogger followed up the first Oprah rant here. Since we at PAPER tend to be a little hedonistic, we’ve come up with a drinking game for reading ROCK blog posts—or anything ROCK produces!
ROCK Drinking Game Rules
1 shot for each piece of shoddy logic.
1 shot for each link to a study by a fundie with no scientific credentials.
2 shots for each false dichotomy.
3 shots for each time they act like only men view porn.
Cheers!
[Clips of the show that so irked the ROCK blogger available here.]
And now on to non-ROCK links. The Stupak drama continues: the George Washington University School of Health predicts that the Stupak Amendment would utterly choke abortion access. Jezebel reacts here. And in another cute trick after threatening to cut their charity work if gays are given rights, Patrick Kennedy has been banned from receiving communion because he is pro-choice. Classy.
There is an abortion rights win to report, though: anti-choice crisis pregnancy centers in Baltimore must clearly label themselves as non-abortion providers. Excellent.
Sexism at work: doctors are skeptical about need for drugs that boost female sexual desire.
Here’s a story about someone “transitioning” from porn star to non-porn-star. Also, here’s a followup about the Belle du Jour story from last week—very worth reading.
Color us unsurprised: out in Africa, Rick Warren preaches the homophobia. Meanwhile, a new study finds that homosexuality was not a factor in the infamous abuses by Catholic priests.
Really? Fox tries to say female conservatives are more persecuted than female liberals. Link is to an article showing otherwise, largely because of Fox’s crappy treatment of liberal women.
Cuba is offering free penis implants.
Women should show 40% of their skin to attract a man, says this study. Not sure how well that one holds up!
