Over in Uganda, the fundie bigot who proposed the Kill [...] Your intrepid webmistress apologizes for the delay. And here we go. What is wrong with a country when beating women is more acceptable than men kissing men? Destigmatizing female sexuality, and more on the problems with studying female desire.

And here’s more on just how common [...] First off: Even TEXAS is admitting abstinence only sex ed doesn’t work, yet a clatch of those wacky Republicans just restored $50 million to fund abstinence only sex ed.
