Forty percent of India’s population – millions of people – are impoverished. The nation has an epidemic of hunger, and thousands of homeless, mostly men. The government has decided to address the issue by initiating a food stamp program. The problem? They’re only giving food stamps to each household’s eldest female resident. This will leave thousands of men starving.
We all know that females never kill unless in self-defense, and they would especially never engage in something as ugly as serial killing – so says society’s romantic stereotypes about women. Robert St. Estephe, Gonzo Historian, lifts the lid on ‘Female Serial Killer Bandits,’ providing chilling accounts of women who commit serial acts of killing-and-robbery. [Illustration by Typhonblue]
Maureen O’Conner is clearly not a bad writer, and it turns out, not an emotionally arrested toddler either. She’s a member of the special people, one of those who determine when a man’s sexuality is appropriate. Inappropriate are men like Andy Hind. Maybe even men like you. Or maybe, just maybe, she isn’t so special after all, and should go fuck herself.
Gonzo Historian Robert St. Estephe, author of the indispensible “Unknown History of Misandry” weblog, returns with another entry on the history of violence committed by women, and society’s tendency to excuse it and even make allowances.

John Birmingham has a big, white dick. And he is really, really upset with other people who he thinks have dicks, so he calls them dickless. Then he talks about the privilege his big, white dick brings him, which he is now rightly ashamed of because of “communters” on the internet. Are we clear?
Are you addicted to gynocentric outrage?

And all you could think of was to turn on Oprah? August Løvenskiolds offers a suggestion to turn your life around.
Clayton Craddock explains how fatherhood is far more than being a walking wallet. How motherhood is just as much about maintaining your children’s relationship to their dad as being a mom. And how the best father’s day gift a mother can give her children’s dad is letting him be a father.
President Obama has a well established history of derogating fathers. In fact, hating on fathers, especially ones too poor and broken after the family court gauntlet to pay child support, has been a kind of political platform for the man. Neil Westlake wants to know if there is more of the same on the way.
The one thing that the Cultists of the Bearded Clam have always lacked is a Bible. Sure, there has always been the biblically referenced Jezebel.com, and the Church of Gay and Arjuna, but let’s face it, that is no replacement for Holy Scripture. Diana Davison comes forth with the gospel!
Jose Canseco has outed his accuser. He’s challenged dangerous anonymity in the sports world and now he’s challenging the dangerous anonymity in rape cases. Dangerous because a rape accusation can kill.
