The Unbearable Sadness Of Being A White Male

Dennis Prager is over at Human Wingnuts Online weeping and wailing about a report that said that nine out of every 10 American girls aged 12 to 18 have been sexually harassed. He’s not, of course, upset about the possibility that young girls were sexually harassed. No, he’s upset that liberals, lesbians and Katie Couric have brainwashed these dear little innocents to believe that they are being harassed when really all that is going on is a little bra snapping by boys in their school.

“The study found that girls who had a better understanding of feminism … were more likely to recognize sexual harassment.” There is no question that this is true. Girls subjected to feminist indoctrination are undoubtedly more likely to interpret innocuous behavior as sexual harassment. Almost the entire liberal-left Weltanschauung is predicated on portraying every group in America except white, male, heterosexual Christians as oppressed. … If either sex is “oppressed” today, it is far more likely to be males. If women were incarcerated, let alone murdered, as disproportionately as men are … there would be a national outcry. It is men who are, in fact, suffering.

Who knew that hordes of women were tracking down their husbands at work and murdering them in cold blood? Or that innocent men were being thrown in jail in disproportionate numbers by sexist female prosecutors and judges? Oh, the things you learn reading Human Wingnuts Online!

Second, “sexual harassment” is so all-inclusive as to be largely meaningless: … If a girl’s bra is snapped in elementary or high school; if a girl is told she should learn to throw a ball “like a guy does”; if a boy pursues a girl and fails in his pursuit — these are all instances of sexism and sexual harassment.

Apparently the line between an innocent sexual prank and harassment, in Dennis’s view, is rape, at least in the case of girls. Boys, who are the ones who are truly oppressed, can legitimately claim humiliation, however, if a gang of lesbian 6th graders chases one of them down on the playground and gives him a wedgie.

What this thinking leads to is girls and women seeing themselves as victims, and almost as often to the emasculation of boys.

Because if you stop boys from snapping bras on the playground, they’ll start mincing around in ladies’ lingerie, dating other boys, and clamoring for gay marriage.

To an ever greater extent, schools and the news media do the same thing to African-Americans — tell them over and over that they are oppressed. And the effects have been even more corrosive. … The number of blacks who perceive of their lives as oppressed by whites can only lead to estrangement from the greater American society, not to mention anger toward and resentment of it.

Oh, for the good ol’ days when the darkies lived in blissful ignorance and weren’t so uppity! Things were going along just fine until the liberals got it into the coloreds’ heads that there was something wrong with the back of the bus.

Er…..Dennis? Feminists “indoctrinating” girls and young women to understand that being barked at by adolescent boys is sexism isn’t the reason you can’t get laid.

 
 

If only girls paid better attention to the announcement delivered right after the school prayer session, stating that the number of feels they are required to give to doughy boys has been _reduced_ from six to twelve!

These people have no gratitude nor love for Big Dennis. I say we bring room 101 back. Or just make it easier to find in Guantanamo if it already exists there.

 
 

I don’t want to, but I can’t help but admire the genius that formulated this strategy of right-wingers portraying their constituency as victims.

Will there be bra-snapping at the Reparations work camp?

 
 

I just sent a Singing Nut-Punch-O-Gram to Hugh’s office. I also sprang for extra jabs. You’re welcome.

 
 

Dennis has no problem, of course, with people snapping his bra.

Hmm. On second thoughts, maybe Hugh Hewitt should have taken up the accordion too.

 
 

And, btw, isn’t it time for a bag of something, um, phallic to make an appearance?

 
 

I dunno, Dennis. When my first-grade daughter got busted by the playground aide for kissing a boy during recess, she was the one who wound up in the principal’s office. Her victim got away scot free. Seems to me Dennis is mad that nobody wanted to play doctor with him in grade school, high school, college or in the workplace.

 
 

Because if you stop boys from snapping bras on the playground, they’ll start mincing around in ladies’ lingerie, dating other boys, and clamoring for gay marriage.

In other words, boys are gonna snap some bras. If they can’t snap the girls’ bras, they’ll snap their own.

 
 

Plus, “perceive of their lives”?

Dennis, jeez, man. “Perceive their lives,” or “conceive of their lives.”

Stick to the accordion.

 
 

OK so he sees no problem with someone snapping the bra of an ELEMENTARY school student.

Anyone getting a creepy pedophile vibe here?

 
 

Shorter DP,

“Damn you! The ‘victim’ con is MINE, do you here? Mine, I tell you. Don’t you bitches and faggots and darkies try to use it. You’ll use it all up and it won’t work anymore. Then where’llI be?”

 
 

The number of blacks who perceive of their lives as oppressed by whites can only lead to estrangement from the greater American society, not to mention anger toward and resentment of it.

I love these phrases that are dropped as some great profundity but don’t actually say anything. So, Dennis, what if that “number of blacks” were, say… one? Would it still lead to estrangement? What, exactly, is the number, Dennis? Since you seem to have such a precise understanding of the black experience in America…

Also, “perceive of their lives…”? Wtf? Maybe Dennis should have spent more time studying grammar in school, and less time snapping bras.

I, for one, am shocked to discover that our prisons are full of white men. Why aren’t people protesting the fact that, although only 75% of the U.S. population is white, white men comprise a whopping 37% of the prison population.

Something must be done to protect the oppressed white males!

 
 

I can’t believe nobody’s eyes have popped out of their heads at this graf from the Prager whine:

And third, “Latina and Asian American girls reported less sexual harassment than the other girls who participated in the study.” One wonders whether this is one reason increasing numbers of American men seek Latina and Asian American women for marriage. Women who have been less influenced by feminism probably appreciate men more.

Translation: “Hey guys! Latinas and Asian American chicks won’t complain if you smack ’em on the ass and call ’em ‘bitch’! Git some!”

Jeebus. The fallacies and sheer dickheadedness in that one paragraph alone account for at least 40% of the stupidons emitted by Prager’s column.

Maybe Dennis should have spent more time studying grammar in school, and less time snapping bras.

To be fair, Dennis has probably never snapped a bra on a actual live human woman in his life. They’d have beaten him to death with his own accordion.

 
 

I’m sure that none of the hostility that Dennis shows is in any way related to his failed attempts to complete even one pull up in gym class or the subsequent giggles of the cheerleaders and resultant hot, shameful tears he shed whilst sitting dejectedly in front of his locker.

NB: I couldn’t do any pullups in school either, but I was able to get over it.

Well if Denny starts going after Asian women, he needs to start learning the difference between a lady and a ladyboy when it comes to Thai.

 
 

More of Denny’s singular genius, from a previous masterpiece:

But the notion that God willed the Holocaust is neither anti-Jewish nor even un-Jewish. There are, after all, only two possible explanations regarding God and the Holocaust:

1. God allowed it but did not will it.

2. God willed it.

This is simple logic.

Does Denny share any DNA with Jonah?

 
 

If women were incarcerated, let alone murdered, as disproportionately as men are … there would be a national outcry. It is men who are, in fact, suffering.

Men: murdered most often by men. Women: murdered most often by men. Answer? IMPRISON MORE WOMEN.

So, he’s saying that feminism is bad because it causes girls to not wear bras, leaving the boys with nothing to snap?

 
 

Well, men do tend to perform most of the dangerous work.

The dialogue in the comments section is delightful

Although I do feel that many women are a bit over the top with feminism. That does not mean that a woman should be OK with having her bra snapped in school, anymore than a man should have to tolerate a female student snapping his jock strap.

My refusal to tolerate ANYONE touching me without my permission is not setting myself up to be a victim. It is me demanding that I be treated with respect.

To which, Jonathon responds

I suppose the question is, dianegw, is whether a bra being snapped is an issue of sexism, or simply because it’s an appealing target. It’s much easier to do that, unless the girl has a pony tail, in which case, that may be pulled as well.

I demand a pony, maybe Jonathon will serve me some pony-burger.

From Gundamhead, to Mr. Prager, with love.

 
 

Oh Dennis “The Menace” Prager. The girls just love your bra-snapping, name-calling ways. They especially love that you hate women, and that makes you more masculine than those prancing, respecting, rights-acknowledging nancy boys who stoop so low as to have GIRLFRIENDS, or even worse, put their manliness into action by having actual boyfriends.

 
 

I have been an avid fan of political talk radio since it emerged from religious broadcasting in the 1960’s. As a result of my work, I have had the opportunity to live in many large American cities, and I think I can say that I have been able to listen to most of the major talk radio personalities at some length.

Dennis Praeger is the most intellectually dishonest talk radio host I have ever heard. No one, not Rush, not Hannity, no one comes close to him in the fervor and apparent conviction with which he regularly mouths statements he knows damned well to be total lies.

Any one who gives the least credence to what he has to say is wasting time. He is a lost cause. Give up on him and move on.

 
 

Wtf? Maybe Dennis should have spent more time studying grammar in school, and less time snapping bras.

The ONLY bra this shitbag ever came close to was the one he stole from his mother.

I’m gonna go be sick now…

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww…

 
 

Gundamhead and tigrismus…heroes you are.

 
 

He got it backwards. If boys didn’t have to worry about mincing around the playground, they wouldn’t need to snap girl’s bras.

Slavery was a vicious rumor.

Jim Crow laws were an urban legend.

Bull Connor and company assaulting civil rights marchers with attack dogs and firehoses in Selma was staged in a TV studio in Burbank.

Since we are already on the subject of the inimitable Dennis Prager, great moral teacher and world-famous philosopher of the absurd… here a little gem from his radio-talkshow yesterday:

“Your best friends stink. You are surrounded by scum. We don’t know anybody good in your life,” – Dennis Prager to Barack Obama, on his radio show.

Andrew Sullivan was kind enough to put this up on his blog when I told him about it – he gave Prager on of his “Malkin awards” for it: http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/06/malkin-award–1.html

You can hear the audio of it at around time mark 23:50 of the clip you find via Sullivan’s link.

 
 

This Dennis Prager guy can go suck a bag of dicks. As an early-developing girl-child, I was subjected to gropes, bra-snaps, skirt-flips, and more. As a result, I went through a few years of therapy and a horrible relationship in which I thought such harassment was par for the course, and not a damn thing happened to those poor little boys except that they kept having to snap bras and flip skirts because they were so nasty that no one would touch them. Awww, poor menz.

Did Obama object to Prager’s desire to snap Malia and Sasha’s bras?

Ass.

Hey! So what are we, chopped liver? It’s okay to snap OUR bras, is it?

 
 

Any one who gives the least credence to what he has to say is wasting time. He is a lost cause. Give up on him and move on.

And this is why he’s comedy gold, time after time. In fact, it’s central to our point. Dennis Prager is the Anne Frank of liberal fascism.

 
 

Off Topic, but this is simply disgusting:

The US is holding hostage some $50bn (£25bn) of Iraq’s money in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to pressure the Iraqi government into signing an agreement seen by many Iraqis as prolonging the US occupation indefinitely, according to information leaked to The Independent.

Can we call it imperialism now?

 
 

On Topic: Amanda was first at fisking this disasterpiece, and I discovered some hilarious* comments in the TownHall.com version of the article:

You see no evidence of the emasculation of men? I have a suggestion. Go to the fragrance counter at any department store and try finding a masculine fragrance. Gone are the earthy and musky scents. Men today are being marketed citrus and flowers.

Do all women deserve respect? I’m not sure that a woman who dresses like a prostitute deserves it. As Dr. Laura says, you shouldn’t advertise your body if it’s not for sale. Radical feminists certainly don’t deserve respect just because they’re women. That would contradict their whole ideology.

*sad

 
 

50 permanent bases? Freedom to conduct raids without government approval? Legal immunity for American soldiers and civilian workers? What’s so imperialistic about that?

As pointed out at Great Orange Satan, not 6 months ago George Bush vetoed a bill that would have allowed US vets who were tortured by Saddam Hussein to sue the Iraqi government, because all those funds were crucial to rebuilding the country. I guess that the surge has worked so well that they don’t need the money anymore.

 
 

But the notion that God willed the Holocaust is neither anti-Jewish nor even un-Jewish. There are, after all, only two possible explanations regarding God and the Holocaust:

1. God allowed it but did not will it.

2. God willed it.

This is simple logic.

He’s leaving out the third piece of “simple logic”:

3. God does not exist.

 
 

Prager is just subtly sticking up for our imperialism.

You tell a boy his unwelcome attentions to girls is something he shouldn’t do, and the next thing you know, we won’t be able to invade countries on the flimsiest of pretexts and destroy them.

 
 

There’s a tutorial?!! Teach me, O Great Prager, teach me how to be a victimized white male! I’ll settle for learning how to play the piano accordion, though, in a pinch.

 
 

“ooYes! is not just a web design company … We create touching website designs”

NO MEANS NO

 
 

Women who have been less influenced by feminism probably appreciate men more.

Probably true. Women who think they are of less value and not the equal of men probably do appreciate men more. And black people who have been less influenced by civil rights probably appreciate white people more. So the solution is to make sure that women and blacks don’t know that they are the equals of white men? Or maybe lobotomies at birth.

 
 

I suppose the question is, dianegw, is whether a bra being snapped is an issue of sexism, or simply because it’s an appealing target. It’s much easier to do that, unless the girl has a pony tail, in which case, that may be pulled as well.

So bra-snapping isn’t sexual harassment, it’s innocent fun. Just like pulling someone’s hair – which is a perfectly OK thing to do.

Jeebus, I’m trying to get into the appropriate snarky mood, but it’s funny this stupid Pragerean column – no more stupid than his usual – has actually made me angrier than I thought he could.

Like eruvande, I spent 6th grade having some little jerk do this to me, and I remember the feeling of shame and embarrassment, and the realization that no one was going to make him stop.

 
 

I blame it on the Homosexual Agenda.

 
 

Prager was saying that people don’t know they are being oppressed unless someone tells them.

Like… that Spartacus guy. There’s your problem!

Gym Teacher Hartman: You mean to tell me you cannot do one single pull up? You are a worthless piece of shit, Prager! Get outta my face!

 
 

if a boy pursues a girl and fails in his pursuit

Boys pursue girls in elementary school? Other than to give them cooties, no.

I ask again. I never, ever, ever, think about the romantic lives of children and yet to Dennis and his ilk, I am the dangerous pervert.

Why is this?

 
 

But the notion that God willed the Holocaust is neither anti-Jewish nor even un-Jewish. There are, after all, only two possible explanations regarding God and the Holocaust:
1. God allowed it but did not will it.
2. God willed it.
This is simple logic.

I can think of other explanations.

3. God willed it not to happen, but the whole purpose of the universe is to do the exact opposite of what God wants.

4. God is only interested in his stamp collection.

5. God was doing a lot of psilocybin back then and didn’t know what the fuck was going on.

6. God was busy snapping bras and got distracted.

He’s leaving out the third piece of “simple logic”:
3. God does not exist.

Well, yeah, that too

g,
That was from the comments not from DP. Jonathon apparently thought that when dianegw said My refusal to tolerate ANYONE touching me without my permission is not setting myself up to be a victim. It is me demanding that I be treated with respect. She meant “tell me how much you like bras”.

I love the way the conservatives go on and on about victimized white males … and then call liberals wimps.

I also love the way that Ann Coulter dictates what a “real man” is, and the conservatives all fall into line with her description because they are afraid that Mistress Ann will call them faggots and mock their manhood.

“Tell us what to do now, Mistress Ann,” whines Dennis Prager, cowering in the corner, afraid to come put because is so a-scared of: being vicitimized by women, being vicitimized by blacks, being mocked bu liberals, being killed by angry Muslims, and not living up to Ann Coulter’s standards of manhood.

Keep fighting back against the Repugs, or will we become the Nation of Bed-Wetters that they want – and need – us to be.

So the key to the wingnut outlook on oppression is that it never ever happens…. except to them.

This explains their lack of academic, career, sexual, and personal accomplishment.

But have they ever wondered why the whole world oppresses them so, when there are plenty of unattractive white men with tons o’ money and the accompanying wide choice of arm candy?

Could these be… token white men?

 
 

Wow. That comment that AJB found:

“You see no evidence of the emasculation of men? I have a suggestion. Go to the fragrance counter at any department store and try finding a masculine fragrance. Gone are the earthy and musky scents. Men today are being marketed citrus and flowers.”

Words fail. I never knew that citrus was feminine. I better get my husband to stop drinking so much OJ.

Yep. I think they are so a-scared of losing control and being treated like they’ve treated others for years. Their being marginalized is terrifying them.

The only feminization of men is being done by conservatives. Every time thay scream ‘faggot’ or ‘wimp’ or ‘girlie-man’ at men who disagree with them, they are merely trying to intimidate men.

And the only miserable weakings that fall for it, and stumble fearfully into line so as not to get called names, are conservatives.

That’s what all of this is about for them. That’s what this election is about for them. They see that their days of unearned privilege, and of being paid to celebrate their wankery, are extremely fucking nigh.

“Yep. I think they are so a-scared of losing control and being treated like they’ve treated others for years. Their being marginalized is terrifying them.”

For some yes. For some social conservatives, though, it’s merely a matter that they are socially awkward and wish society had clearer rules as to what they could and could not do in social situations: so they long for “the good old days” when everything was, in a sense, spelled out. Any change to that order, even if those changes themselves involve clear standards of “political correctness”, is to be feared as it is a change to a comforting social order.

 
 

The only scent that Prager wears is the flop sweat, induced by the uppity lady-folk and negroes who demand to be treated with a modicum of respect. That, and cool-ranch dorito.

Just went to check on the circumcision thread and saw your comment from like two weeks ago. Fucking brilliant.

Shit, I just ran out of Hai Karate !

 
 

But the notion that God willed the Holocaust is neither anti-Jewish nor blah blah blah…

Ergo, Dennis Praeger – and anyone who agrees with him – thinks 9-11 was the deliberate act of a just and loving God. Mention this loudly and often.

 
 

Prager’s cologne is fashioned from Cheeto juice.

 
 

Gone are the earthy and musky scents.

Because the ladies don’t like men to smell like dirty buffalo?

 
 

“masculine fragrance.”

Those are the gayest two words I’ve ever seen together. Just sayin. And really, is there anything less macho than constantly whining about how you are being “castrated” and you’re really a victim and the liberals are hurting your FEEELINGS? Sorry Mr. Masculine commenter.

 
 

Ilike my men like I like… Nah, you really do not want to know.

Wow. That comment that AJB found:

“You see no evidence of the emasculation of men? I have a suggestion. Go to the fragrance counter at any department store and try finding a masculine fragrance. Gone are the earthy and musky scents. Men today are being marketed citrus and flowers.”

Words fail. I never knew that citrus was feminine. I better get my husband to stop drinking so much OJ.

There are fragarance counters for men?

 
 

This Prager fellow will rescue us men via simpering ninnyisms.

 
 

Ergo, Dennis Praeger – and anyone who agrees with him – thinks 9-11 was the deliberate act of a just and loving God.

They probably do, because the just and loving god hates gays, feminists, and heathens and wants a bunch of unrelated people to die to punish the people who don’t hate gays etc. Or something.

Gosh, it’s kind of hard to be a nut. No wonder they mutter a lot of prayers.

 
 

Prager just needs a little help. Technology to the rescue!

 
 

Somebody better send Dennis a telegram, or sometin.

 
 

Please install Johnson Rod between 70-90f, as cold weather will cause it to contract.

Ouch.

 
 

Good point. I’ve never seen a fragarence counter for men. Anywhere. Of course I’ve never had to look because I use a combination of motor oil and mountain lion urine to attract teh bitcheZ.

 
 

If men were smart they’d all smell like chocolate.

 
 

comment from pandagon that deserves to be repeated:
And third, “Latina and Asian American girls reported less sexual harassment than the other girls who participated in the study.” One wonders whether this is one reason increasing numbers of American men seek Latina and Asian American women for marriage.

So wait, Prager thinks than men tend to choose wives based on their unwillingness to report abuse…but it’s feminists who hate men? Dude, what the fuck?

 
 

Re: the masuline fragrance fiasco, I would merely posit to the original ClownHaller that if a penis and testicles don’t make you feel masculine enough, its really not the Lancome Lady’s fault.

 
 

So let me get this straight:

Now you want smart AND smells good?

?????!!

 
 

If men were smart they’d all smell like chocolate.

If Prager smelled like chocolate it would be cheap expired chocolate in last year’s Valentine’s bin at K-Mart.

 
 

Of course, when you’re a young white male you can definitively disprove claims that you are a wimpy girly-man by snapping the nearest girl’s bra strap.

It’s tougher for the older white males. They have to start wars.

 
 

Prager and his lot are terrified that it will be their heads in the toilet bowls pretty soon.

This comment reminded me – I have an urgent wish to stage some of the worst porn around with the genders switched.

 
 

not even an mba said”

To which, Jonathon responds

I suppose the question is, dianegw, is whether a bra being snapped is an issue of sexism, or simply because it’s an appealing target. It’s much easier to do that, unless the girl has a pony tail, in which case, that may be pulled as well.

See, Diana. My point is, what can a female expect when she’s replete with appealing targets? If you don’t want to be snapped, squeezed, smacked, rubbed, fondled, poked, or penetrated then don’t host those appealing targets on your body. You know what I’m talking about–bras, breasts, thighs, buttocks and vaginas.

Sheesh.

 
 

Thanks to Prager and Rohrabacher’s recent lectures, I’m no longer afraid of lingerie.

Panties! Gimme some panties!

err… that didn’t come out quite right…

 
 

“You see no evidence of the emasculation of men? I have a suggestion. Go to the fragrance counter at any department store and try finding a masculine fragrance. Gone are the earthy and musky scents. Men today are being marketed citrus and flowers.”

Taking this to its ultimate logic, wouldn’t the whole idea of a man having a fragrance be sort of …unmasculine?

I mean, if you’ve already stepped over the line into wearing fragrance, what the fuck difference does it make whether it’s tuberoses or vetyver? Is there some secret coding, ambergris = manly, bergamot = girlyman?

And of course, even that is hogwash – manly men have been wearing fragrance since before the 3 Kings brought the Baby Jeebus myrrh, and flowers have been quite popular down the ages

See, gals, it’s a given that boys are going pull at your clothing and yank on your hair. It’s not sexism, though.

 
 

I think that commenter somehow thinks sexism has something to do with Teh Sex. Like if it isn’t sexUAL, it’s not sexIST

I would love to get paid for writing ad copy like this:

You spoke, we listened! The long anticipated Johnson Rod has finally made an appearance! Bursting from our engineering bay, and three years in the making, this is most spectacular rod on the market. Not only is the Johnson Rod fully extendable, but it is also .5″ greater in girth than any competitor’s Johnson Rod. Please install Johnson Rod between 70-90f, as cold weather will cause it to contract.

 
 

One wonders what he thinks sexism is. The brutal anal rape of a virtuous christian virgin by a dusky stranger?

And if she’s over 10, she was totally asking for it.

 
 

if a boy pursues a girl and fails in his pursuit

What normal people call “stalking.”

 
 

I hear the Johnson Rod contracts after swimming in the ocean too.

 
 

if a boy pursues a girl and fails in his pursuit

Naw, he’s speaking literally. He was just too tubby to catch her.

 
 

“And if she’s over 10, she was totally asking for it.”

Only if she was wearing a bra.

If she wasn’t wearing a bra, she was demanding it.

 
 

If you don’t want to be snapped, squeezed, smacked, rubbed, fondled, poked, or penetrated…then don’t host those appealing targets on your body

This reminds me of an unpleasant experience from my teen years when a yearning so and so I wasn’t interested in scolded me for wearing a tank top and a skirt. In the summer time. It was ok for him to parade around in no shirt and shorts but tank tops and knee length skirts on girls amounted to deliberate and inexcuseable cruelty. From there he launched into this being a reason for me “giving in” to his needs.

The gall. Really.

 
 

I just wanted to point out that boys also have dangly bits that make amusing and obvious targets.

Do all women deserve respect? I’m not sure that a woman who dresses like a prostitute deserves it. As Dr. Laura says, you shouldn’t advertise your body if it’s not for sale.

I think you mean “Dr. Chris Rock.”

Since I have nothing to do here, I guess I’ll go to a movie. I would like to see that Adam Sandler movie about the Zohan.

You see, he’s a big, tough Mossad secret super soldier, and he – get this – wants to be a hairdresser! Ha ha! That’s so funny!

And because he’s a foreigner, he talks funny and he is really ignorant! He thinks a weave is an animal and he tries to kill it in the salon! Ha ha ha! And he thinks bionic means bisexual! That is so funny!

This will be the funniest movie ever!

 
 

Yes, it was creepy and all but I was still surprised she didn’t go for it

That’s nuts. I would have done it in a hot second but demanded a written contract first in case of litigation.

(consent is a defense to battery, but you have to have affirmative proof of it)

 
 

I’d be happy to take Prager on a tour of gay bars on both coasts where wearing fragrance of any kind will immediately get you thrown out on the sidewalk skull-side down.

I’m a homosexual man. Dennis Prager is a faggot.

 
 

Also, that Dr. Laura picture someone linked to has a smile right off a Mr. Potatohead doll.

Hey I don’t blame ya! I wouldn’t want to be on the same team as Prager, Dr. Mike, Ben Shapiro, Dough Wad, etcetera etcetera etcetera. Man, can I join you in the Whitey/Castrato Police? Even if Barry Xerxes Hussein and Rosie O’Donnell toss me into the gas chamber anyway, it’s better than having to spend my life with the likes of Kim DuToit and Doug Giles!

I can smell my boss approaching from ten feet away. I believe I can say unequivocably, no.

 
 

There’s a cheap joke here but it would require me to slander the transgendered.

My real problem with Ann Coulter/Mann Coulter jokes? They are completely unnecessary.

Ann Coulter has nothing of substance to say, so calling John Edwards a faggot is pretty much the epogee of her wit.

Mocking Ann Coulter’s work is child’s play. Every sentence is fair game, brimming with juvenile foolery, logical fallacies, lame rationalizations and just plain lies. The transgendered cracks are just a waste of time when directed at someone who is so vulnerable on every substantive comment she has ever made.

And besides, if Ann Coulter feels more comfortable as a woman, I think we, as liberals, should support her in her preferred gender role.

 
 

I am thinking most women would finish this sentence:

I am attracted to a man who smells of _____.

as – ‘soap’

 
 

If Prager gets a Johnson Rod installed, will he feel it’s OK to snap your wolf bra?

 
 

Sort of “Reverse Projection” going on here. Just as the cons project their worst thoughts and behaviors on to “Liberals”, the see the injuries and wrongs of the people they oppress as belonging to them.

Ok, see, here, this actually makes sense when you think about it.

The fascinating thing is how it would have become codified into law.

Sorry to beat a dead horse here, but I still can’t get over this (I know, I already commented on this above):

Haven’t read all the comments, so sorry if I’m repeating, but I grew up in SoCal and listened to Prager when he was just a local jock in the late 80s. He has always been guilty of committing some of the worst fallacies.

He especially loves to argue inductively, which isn’t necessarily bad in itself. But in the so-called “soft sciences” of human behavior and history, it can be flat-out abused, and Prager does this to no end. Take some random blurb in a some suburban Anytown USA newspaper and use it as the confirming of every rightwing point he makes. And anyone who points out this nonsense to him he dismisses out of hand as lacking “clarity.”

He is maddening only because he is so much smoother and slicker in his righwing hatitude than a Hannity or Limbaugh, taking the moral and intellectual high road.

 
 

I don’t see kids doing what kids will do as “sexual harassment”. Sexual curiosity, certainly, and kids can be mean. But I was regularly teased to tears, and was once beat up by girls in grade school – so it’s not as if this doesn’t go both ways.

If an adult were doing this… well that’s a different story.

 
 

Huh. this just caught my eye.

“Second, “sexual harassment” is so all-inclusive as to be largely meaningless: … If a girl’s bra is snapped in elementary or high school; …”

Do girls not wear bras in middle school these days? Or is that just from Prager coming from the school structure where middle school (7th 8th grade for us) is folded into elementary and high school?

Oh, yeah. There’s a right wing nut in my community chat board who cuts and pastes Prager columns all the time.

Commonly the conclusion is that the person who litters, paints their garage door in defiance of community covenants, disrupts school board meetings with nonsense, or wears unpleasing clothings is assumed to be “liberal” and, thus, their behavior is an iconic example of “liberal values.”

I might add, the local knucklehead projects this same rhetorical device onto anything said in the chat site, so if someone complains about their neighbor’s dog, their behavior is judged to be yet another iconic example of “liberal values.”

It’s kind of funny that Prager is so hot for musky scents, since musk oil was the fucking essence (literally) of the 70s hedonists. I used to keep a little black bottle of musk oil in my purse. For a while I kept a spare bottle tucked in my locker at school, and one day it fell out and shattered on the marble floor. The hallway smelled like musk for an entire semester. Musk and weed, the olfactory signature of my days in junior high.

Lime is nothing new in after shave and cologne. I remember Erica Jung saying c. 1978 “I’ve never liked perfumed men, moving in on me like ambulatory limes.”

In the early part of the 20th century, lavender was very popular for men’s shaving soap. I believe the manly Romans were fond of wearing violet essence and attar of roses, although admittedly some of the stoics thought that was rawther effete.

What does this prove? Only that Denny P. knows nothing about fragrance, which is no surprise as he knows nothing about anything.

 
 

Well that’s reassuring. Next time I have the nightmare about the ambulatory citrus fruit I’ll know that it was simply Erica Jong’s dream, delivered to me due to a mix-up in the Dispatching Dept., and I won’t worry so much.

I dunno, I hate to agree with old dennis, but it seemed a lot more empowering when I was in middle school, and one girl who got her bra snapped kicked the kid so hard he had to get a nut removed, and was forever referred to as Uniball. Last bra snap ever at my school. Let that be a lesson, don’t snap the bra of a girl who was 5’11” in the fourth grade.

 
 

Ambulatory citrus fruit? That’s nothing — I have nightmares about Dennis Prager!

The number of blacks who perceive of their lives as oppressed by whites can only lead to estrangement from the greater American society, not to mention anger toward and resentment of it.

To an ever greater extent, schools and the news media do the same thing to African-Americans — tell them over and over that they are oppressed.

Well, if memory serves, Arky, there were a dozen or so girls in my 6th grade class who were strapping in by the time we graduated to middle school. Actually, I think most of them were, in some form, by June. It’s becoming more and more the case, as food hormones and other possible outside influence are making girls develop sooner and sooner. I think I read somewhere that the average girl starts to develop the secondary sex characteristics by 10, as opposed to 12 or 13 a few decades ago.

I have no memory of any bra snapping’s, though. Though if there were, the girls reaction would be more along poopy’s recollection, then one of “ZOMG I AM BEING SEXUALLY HARRASSERED!”

I think, deep down, Prager is just pissed that he can’t oogle women openly on the streets and play grab-ass with the waitresses anymore. And, too be fair, I wish so very badly that I could just openly start at boobs, too. But I don’t blame political parties for that, and therein lies paradise.

a gang of lesbian 6th graders

 
 

OT, but if there is anyone left outside of the 28% Club who doubts that the Republican party hasn’t so much as a nodding acquaintance with reality, there’s this:

Losses and Oil Spread Gloom on Economy

President Bush acknowledged the jump in unemployment as an indication of “slow economic growth,” but he held out hope that $100 billion in tax rebates now being distributed to American households would spur spending and generate jobs.

“We’re beginning to see the signs that the stimulus may be working,” Mr. Bush said during a swearing-in ceremony for the housing secretary, Steven C. Preston.

Say what, Mr. Bush?

 
 

Things were going along just fine, mincing around in ladies’ lingerie, innocent men were being thrown in jail, women were tracking down their husbands at work and murdering them in cold blood.
however, if a gang of lesbian 6th graders chases sexist female prosecutors and judges, liberals, lesbians and Katie Couric. Apparently the line between blissful ignorance, dating other boys, and clamoring for gay marriage.

Oh, for the good ol’ days
Oh, for the good ol’ days

an innocent sexual prank weeping bra snapping mincing mincing mincing mincing. down on the playground murdering them in cold blood being thrown in jail.

 
 

Dennis Prager is over
Dennis Prager is over
Dennis Prager is over

he’s upset if you stop boys from snapping bras however, sexist female prosecutors, liberals, lesbians and Katie Couric are being harassed.

hordes of women Who knew these dear little innocent can legitimately claim humiliation.

a gang of lesbian 6th graders clamoring for gay marriage. Oh, the things you learn on the playground.

Things were going along just fine
Things were going along just fine
Things were going along just fine
Things were going along just fine

 
 

hordes of women nine out of every 10 American girls are truly oppressed, being thrown in jail, mincing around brainwashed, truly oppressed, truly oppressed.

 
 

FLying Fox–agreed; I was trying to have a friendly chat with a neighbor when political signs were brought up and I mentioned that the joke in my old neighborhood was that if anyone wanted to keep a Bush sign they’d better secure it in concrete because they kept getting stolen. I was just repeating a joke, but she suddenly went on a tirade about how there is a constant attempt to silence conservatives and a lack of belief in “free speech by liberals out there”!

Then I added that since moving here I have to buy bumper stickers 3 at a time to compensate for the amount that get stolen. No comment.

Sheesh, just listen to a few minutes of the Sean Hannity Radio Show. It’s all the callers talk about, how fucking oppressed they are. Uh huh.

 
 

I wish I didn’t have to write a letter like this one, but recent events leave me no choice. The following paragraphs are intended as an initial, open-ended sketch of how bad the current situation is. Barack Obama’s patsies want to replicate the most morally crippled structures of contemporary life for one purpose and one purpose only: to prey on people’s fear of political and economic instability.

Obama’s inimical adages can be quite educational. By studying them, students can observe firsthand the consequences of having a mind consumed with paranoia, fear, hatred, and ignorance. I am not going to go into too great a detail about pea-brained megalomaniacs but be assured that someone has been giving Obama’s brain a very thorough washing and now Obama is trying to do the same to us. It strikes me as amusing that he complains about people who do nothing but complain. Well, news flash! Obama does nothing but complain.

I don’t wish to psychologize here, but I’m sure Obama wouldn’t want me to eavesdrop on his conversations. So why does he want to boss others around? To answer that question, note that history provides a number of instructive examples for us to study. For instance, it has long been the case that Obama’s conjectures are not an abstract problem. They have very concrete, immediate, and unpleasant consequences. For instance, idle hands are the devil’s tools. That’s why Obama spends his leisure time devising ever more nugatory ways to put our liberties at risk by a simple-minded and recalcitrant rush to lobotomize everyone caught thinking an independent thought. Obama wants to fill the air with recrimination and rancor. But what if the tables were turned? How would Obama like that? To wrap up, I’ll just hit the key elements of this letter one last time. First, in a country like ours where Bonapartism, denominationalism, and parasitism run rampant, we need laws to help enforce behavior that ought to be performed out of common sense, decency, and tolerance. Second, Barack Obama’s slaves are more determined than most mendacious wisenheimers. And finally, to make up for all of the time he’s wasted blathering, Obama should step aside and let me cast a gimlet eye on his notions and encourage others to do the same.

 
 

Take a bite of that, liberals. It’s obvious you can’t. McCain rolls in November.

 
 

Chuck Yeager’s Sloth Sauerkraut

Ingredients:
4 pinches sensory sloth, pickled
2 gallons father carrot, winsomely swirled
1 teaspoon deep coconut juice
5 sticks spread marmoset throat
1 stick dill
1 jigger sage

Pick over the ingredients defencelessly and discard excess chocolate. Separate sloth nose from stomach. Discard stomach. Use a food processor to mash the coconut juice with the carrot. Drizzle resulting mixture over the sloth. Cream – very unfearingly – the marmoset throat, dill, and the sage. Spread the latter combination on to the former. Bake for 108 hours.

 
 

Dennis Prager is sexually harassed he’s upset brainwashed in blissful ignorance, dating other boys in jail. he’s upset tracking down their husband between an innocent sexual prank and harassment.

Dennis’s view, is rape that innocent with the back of the bus mincing around in ladies’ lingerie.

you stop boys
you stop boys
you stop boys
you stop boys

 
 

Prescription for Dennis Prager?
Give him a LONG weekend as honorary New Bitch Of Cell-Block C.
Then he can come out & tell us all again about how ” “sexual harassment” is so all-inclusive as to be largely meaningless” … assuming he can get his jaw to work.

Poetic justice: it’s not just for breakfast anymore!

I’m sorry I can’t respond, Matt.

As a working liberal, someone who spends much of his time covering for feeble conservatives who have been promoted more for their political beliefs than for their abilities (much like the current state of the executive branch), I just do not have much free time to wade through more drivel than I already deal with at work.

You obviously – as a typical conservative trust fund baby or wingnut welfare recipient – have more free time than the average liberal. Could you please use some of that time at, say, a community college and acquire some basic writing and logic skills so that honest decent WORKING (a dying breed in the current Bush economy) Americans can figure out what you’re saying.

Honestly, try to find better models than Thomas Sowell and Jonah Goldberg. Not just for clarity. But also for fairness, honesty and decency, and all the other things that America is supposed to be about.

PENIS

 
 

Prager may be a wingnut, but he accidentally got one point right in his argumentation: the definition of “sexual harassment” is very broad in many studies, including a) quite irrelevant harmless stuff (the “trow a ball like a man” thing) and b) not making a categorial distinction between verbal harassment (“nice tits, bunny”) and physical harassment (ranging from butt-slapping to rape).
This is detrimental to the very important cause, because the probably 10-15% girls that actually had to face serious abuse go unnoticed in the debates about the exaggerated number of 80% girls “harassed” under such definitions. A true scandal is buried under political correctness and the attempts to make the story look bigger (as if 10-15% girls abused is not fucking big enough!)…

JanSchoenmakers,

including a) quite irrelevant harmless stuff (the “trow a ball like a man” thing)

It’s hard to track back, because Prager provides no links, and the extent of his cite is I therefore went to a leading feminist magazine’s website, Ms. Magazine (msmagazine.com), and found this summary of the report. Then he quotes the entire Ms. Magazine article. All of it. Jackass.

But anyways, here’s the Science Daily piece explaining the breakdown

Ninety percent of girls reported experiencing sexual harassment at least once. Specifically, 67 percent of girls reported receiving unwanted romantic attention, 62 percent were exposed to demeaning gender-related comments, 58 percent were teased because of their appearance, 52 percent received unwanted physical contact and 25 percent were bullied or threatened with harm by a male. 52 percent of girls also reported receiving discouraging gender-based comments on the math, science and computer abilities, usually from male peers, and 76 percent of girls reported sexist comments on their athletic abilities, again predominantly from male peers.

Both the girls suck at sports and the girls suck at math behaviours are counted separate from sexual harassment. Maybe you have a point in the lumping together of things, but it’s not just 10% – 15% that have serious issues. 2 in 3 report unwanted romantic attention, 1 in 2 received unwanted physical contact. Median age 15.1 years old.

Oh and thanks tigrismus. It’s nice to know my PENIS is being appreciated.

>but it’s not just 10% – 15% that have serious issues. 2 in 3 report unwanted romantic attention, 1 in 2 received unwanted >physical contact. Median age 15.1 years old.

Well, this is the problem — “unwanted romantic attention” is considered “sexual harassment”…WTF?!?!?…and it is right up there with “unwanted physical contact” which is the real thing to worry about. So noone really discusses the 25% actually harmed because the 67% who received “unwanted romantic attention” make the study a laughing stock.

Effect: downplay of the issue due to exaggeration rather than discussion of the problem.

 
not even an mba
 

Jan,

You’re the one trying to minimize. I don’t know if you’ve been on the receiving end, but “unwanted romantic attention” is sexual harrasment. Consider that for the academic year, you are stuck in whatever class you happen to be in. That whoever it is that’s puppy-dogging you, pressuring you into a relationship, is in your class for ten months. And likely ten months of the next year. Even if we take your ridiculous position and only consider unwanted physical contact, that’s still 52% not 25%. But we’re not taking that position because we’re not Dennis “creepy old man” Prager.

I appreciate that teenage girls can be ditzy airheads, but the numbers in the study are from teenaged girls who self-identified being victims of the listed behaviors. Are some of these teenagers going to lie? Yes. Are some of these girls going to drama queen it up and make mountains out of mole hills? Yes. But, if anything these incidents are under-reported. For example, girls exposed to feminist ideas report higher rates since they’re more likely to recognize that their existence is not solely to make boys happy.

Consider that this report consisted of actually interviewing the girls involved. Consider how embarassing it would be for a teenager to tell a complete stranger about the guy who asks her out every single day. Or about the weekly ritual of being told that they’d only be fuck-able with a paper bag over their heads. Or about the shithead who keeps telling her how good a wife she’d be since she’s so shy and demure, and therefore unlikely to fuck around. What proportion of teenaged girls do you think would rather just tell the researchers that none of that happened to her?

 
 

not even an mba,

I am not minimizing the problem of unwanted romantic attention, but I am strongly arguing in favor of clearly separating the different categories of harassment and not putting a guy hitting on a girl in the same league as the guy groping her.

It’s not the same demographics and psychographics of guys who relentlessly (and annoyingly) make a move on a girl that end up raping underage girls. It’s a different category/experience of/for victims, too.

Therefore, those are issues that should be dealt with seperately using different approaches. Mixing or even confusing categories here just results in missing the point.

 
not even an mba
 

Jan,

Firstly, the study we’re talking about does indeed break down the different categories, so it’s hardly fair to claim that the study was a laughingstock. I believe the idea was that sexual harrassment was defined as gender-based harrassment that was sexual in nature. I don’t see why this wouldn’t include verbal abuse of a girl based on her appearance. Or being pressured into a relationship with some guy she doesn’t like – even if no touching is involved.

Secondly, while it would certainly be enlightening to investigate the (mostly male) teenagers engaged in these activities, that’s not what the study is about. I’m sure that a significant fraction of teenaged guys don’t think there’s anything wrong with calling a classmate an ugly skank ho. Although that’s generally unacceptable, I also aprreciate that there are also plenty of teenaged girls that are ugly skank hos.

See, the point is this: 90% of teenaged girls admitted to experiences where they were harrassed, because of their gender, with sexual undertones. That’s all the study is saying, not that 90% of teenaged girls are rape victims or that 90% of teenaged girls have been sexual assaulted. Although I suspect we’d all be shocked and horrified if we knew what the actual percentage of those victims were.

I agree that some people have blurred the line between harrassment and assault. I also acknowledge that since we’re dealing with teenagers, there’s a knee jerk reaction to being over-protective (amongst the crowd that isn’t yelling GET OFFA MY LAWN) and that this is an irrational and naive response (as if all teenagers were virgins). But this shouldn’t invalidate the feelings of the victims here.
