A 16 year old girl was reportedly drugged and gang-raped by football players in Steubenville, Ohio, and two people, Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richmond, have been arrested for it. And now a video has emerged of other players joking about the rape and helpless, unconscious state of the girl. Warning: the video is appalling, not …

That’s not rape! It’s “intercourse marriage”
You know, one of the tough things about being a jihadist is that you get all these…urges, yet all the freedom fighters around you are covered with beards and body hair. And of course, as a devout, pious Muslim you also want to maintain your purity. What to do, what to do? An Islamic cleric …

The company you keep
It’s a new year, and Thunderf00t hasn’t changed a bit — he has a new video where he’s apparently ranting about how feminism is poisoning atheism, which I haven’t watched, so I can’t judge. But there are hints that it’s more of the same. It’s been picked up and praised by A Voice For Men. …

File this under “People Are Jerks”
You know, many species of turtles are in trouble; they’re just slowly dying off. So one Clemson student, Nathan Weaver, did a very simple experiment: he watched what happens when a turtle crosses the road. Weaver put a realistic rubber turtle in the middle of a lane on a busy road near campus. Then he …

At a loss for an appropriately angry title
I wrote here about the accidental 2009 capture and subsequent euthanasia of Macho B, an aging male jaguar who’d wandered across the U.S. border into southern Arizona. Last week, in a really rather remarkable bit of investigative journalism, Dennis Wagner of the Arizona Republic reported that Macho B’s capture may not have been precisely accidental: Although …

STOP DISTRACTING ME, PHARYNGULA!
Oh, yuck. I just looked at the site (haven’t had much time to do that lately), and we’re carrying ads for “Concealed Carry” magazine. A whole magazine, dedicated to people who are obsessed with carrying deadly weapons in public, and whose promoters have put up a general ad buy for any site that has discussions …

And so as not to pollute the previous post with Michelle Malkin
… because I didn’t want to have to use the “Fuckbrained assholes” tag on the last post. This is how Michelle Malkin started a screed six months ago against public school teachers in Wisconsin: They really outdid themselves. In Wisconsin and across the nation, public school employee unions spared no kiddie human shields in their …

Welp, I’m all convinced and stuff now
The ongoing dispute about sexism in the secular community has been settled at last by one incredibly insightful post. Atheism is a ‘guy thing,’ I would say, like needlepoint is a ‘girl thing.’ We don’t have to consider why the sexes fall (or are pushed) into these particular roles; they just are. And with that …

Jeez, Harding, ease up on the equivocating, OK?
Jezebel justifies its existence every now and then, and today is one of those days. The publication is celebrating a first instance of what will likely become a hallowed tradition, and it starts off with a post by Kate Harding wwith the people-pleasing title Fuck You, Men’s Rights Activists. I really hate when my militant …
