First off: the Kentucky House has approved an In God We Trust plate. As you might recall, ROCK’s been at it to get a vanity IGWT plate for years—should this pass, it effectively kills ROCK’s fundraising strategy, and if it doesn’t pass, we’re spared license plate theocracy. A true win-win! ROCK also got more free press [...] This week the Kentucky Senate passed to the floor a bill that forces women to have an ultrasound before getting an abortion [the webpage has been glitchy, so you may have to refresh to get it to load correctly].

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. Meanwhile, this essay digs into “hookup culture” and related misogyny. And, really, vagina mints? Crap like this [...] 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 [...] More on the sex offender ruling. This is an ongoing story—let’s continue to hope for policy that differentiates between violent offenders, pedophiles, and people who made stupid mistakes.
