Hey, Stop Raping Fat Chicks!

Peter Paul Rubens, Rape of the Daughters of Leucippus (1618) This public service announcement should not be necessary, but unfortunately there seems to be some confusion on the subject: Rape culture is prevalent, insidious, and normalized in our culture. . .

She Craved the Taste of Boy Flesh

“Allegedly,” I hasten to add: Utah teacher Brianne Altice pleaded not guilty Thursday to three counts of first-degree felony rape for having sex with a 16-year-old Davis High School student. However, previous reports indicate Altice “acknowledged to investigators that she had engaged in sex with the boy,” so her prospects for acquittal aren’t good. Her case was […]

[M]ost of the lesbian contributors took no pains to conceal their sense of superiority at living perfectly coherent feminist lives.” — Daphne Patai, […]

Florida Atrocity: Girls Beat Teen, Held Her Down as She Was Raped on Video

Left to right: Erica Avery, 16; Jayvon Woolfork, 19; Patricia Montes, 15. Having recently dubbed Florida the “Crazy State,” I’m seldom surprised by reports of criminal degeneracy and perverse madness there, but the raw savagery in this case is astonishing: A 16-year-old girl was allegedly beaten by other girls before being held down to be […]
