•This
abortion ad seems like an icky, callous approach to the issue (h/t John
Zmirak).
•Meanwhile: where to begin?
•Women being allowed in frontline combat roles by the U.S.
makes now a good time to revisit the book The
Kinder Gentler Military about how standards and behaviors sometimes get
ratcheted downward (sometimes amidst actual weeping at hearings) to keep the
newcomers happy, with the question of whether death will result being rendered
secondary (it was written by my friend Stephanie Gutmann, who will likely weigh
in on the matter again now).
•This
Mazzy Star performance from 1994 seems gentle and girly (h/t TibbieX).
•The singer was busy that year, because she was also in Jesus and
Mary Chain (h/t Dave Whitney).
•Prog
rock like newly-defunct Mars Volta seems to be more of a guy thing most of
the time (h/t Andrew Kirell).
•I doubt we should believe a guy who called a press conference
to talk about smoking crack and having gay sex with Obama, but it
makes for an amusing transcript (h/t Bruce Majors).
•A woman tired of female tech writers’ appearance being
commented on decided
to retaliate by encouraging comments on males’ appearance – and I think the
real evidence that (like many feminists) she doesn’t understand the asymmetry
of the genders is that she seems to think positive
comments will still freak males out (h/t Janet Harvey).
•No, no, no – read
your evolutionary psychology, feminists, then notice the world for the
first time. You’re the ones terrified of
icky unworthy suitors; males dream of thousands of options (long gestation time
vs. frequent sperm production – there’s no getting around them). Not clear why you feel politically obligated
to pretend otherwise, but such is the chosen foundation of your political house
of cards.
•Honestly never one to care much about machismo one way or
the other, I was raised by effete New Wave videos – but especially fond of the
more easily forgotten songs that weren’t quite New Wave, hovering somewhere on
the border of classic rock, like Paul Young’s “Come Back and
Stay” (h/t myself – and I’ll continue a trilogy of almost-New-Wave links
tomorrow and Saturday).

Larry Sinclair has a second book coming out. He certainly has an unusual and checkered past. A silk stocking Chicago law firm was hired to suppress his first book. And some anonymous bloggers at something called The Regulator Too are devoted to reducing his credibility.
