Scotland is the best place in the world.

Much thanks to my beautiful friend Katy for passing this on to me.

I love Scotland because it's beautiful and breathtaking and amazing. I want to move there and be a part of the Never Ever campaign. Who's going to help me get there?

Really American Apparel?

Really?! Are you fucking kidding me? You sexualized watches? Congrats, y'all lost a customer.

empowering domination

Rhianna's S&M is brilliant. I just saw the video and until this moment I was actually very concerned for her well being. But the way I see it, this video is a wonderful expression of empowerment.

Her costume of tabloids, along with the carefully selected quotes like "whore" and "daddy issues?" was a great idea. Her response to the media is a solid "fuck you," which I wholly support. I mean what are they thinking? Publicly analyzing her after a trauma? I'll admit that I was personally offended by Love the Way You Lie, but simply because I thought it to be in poor taste.

However, S&M has a totally different tone. Take a look at it and see for yourself!

I'm gonna go with no...

So Playboy has come out with a perfume. It's called Lovely. I really don't know where to begin.

I'm going to approach this from a heterosexist point of view because while I assume there are some lesbians who purchase playboys, I don't believe Playboy targets the homosexual community.

Ok so Playboy has come out with a perfume. Not cologne. Perfume. So they're clearly targeting women. They are trying to get women to buy a product to make men want them more. Artificial sexual selection people. It works.

Now what does this say about the women who buy it? Personally I think it's perfectly fine to enjoy being the subject of provocative pictures, but playboy isn't about the pleasure of women. It's all about male pleasure and that's ok too. My problem comes when you expect women to pay for the pleasure of men. Playboy is selling this perfume to women to support their effort in the porn business. Furthermore, the goal is to make women want to smell like Playboy bunnies, which we have just established has nothing to do with female pleasure. This is all about women spending their money in yet another way to make themselves more attractive to men. Because it's always all about men.

In the animal world, males go to great lengths to be attractive to females. This is called intersexual selection. For instance the Peacock. If he has a giant, deep blue, attractive tail, he will get more women. He will also be at a greater risk for predation. He will quite literally die to get a mate. Women are engaging in similar activities. We starve ourselves and get elective surgery all for a mate. Humans are supposed to have high reasoning. Meaning we should know better.

So women, don't buy this perfume. Don't support the porn industry in this way. If you really want to, but some porn of your own and actually get off. Don't fake it. After all, at least you can tell.

Is that bad? Answer: Yes.

Ok so I made a terrible mistake a few days ago. I failed to properly stand up for my friends. I feel just awful about it, but I'd like to explain so that if you ever find yourself in a similar situation, you can learn from my mistakes.

My Psych 101 professor decided to have a discussion on sexuality and it went horribly. She was absolutely not equipped to facilitate this discussion and what's worse is she didn't even try! She just let every ass hole with a mouth say whatever bullshit, idiotic opinion they wanted. I was so angry. I said nothing. I wanted to get up and leave but I knew that would be even less productive than staying silent. My problem was I knew if I worked up the courage to actually call these people out on their heterosexism I would leave myself open to a swarm of argumentative comments and I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to handle that.

I did manage to say in response to this one guy who claimed homosexuals choose to be gay, "When did you choose to be straight?" I must have yelled it because my professor said, "well not you, maybe the whole class?" See? I was rash and harsh and I knew I would be. Next time I hope to be able to keep my cool and actually make a rational explanation that sexuality is not a choice and to even suggest otherwise is ludicrous.

I'm sorry my gay and lesbian friends. I should have done more. I should do more. I promise to do better next time.

Cheers.
