With cases such as Eliot Spitzer’s latest scandal, as well as other male politicians whose prostitution habits had been found out by the general public, many may be asking themselves–What drives these men to fornicate with prostitutes?

Well this is definitely sad.

New Theme and Some Updates
2008-03-27 00:00:00
Menstrual Poetry has a new layout! Not a lot changed, as you can probably tell if you’re a frequent visitor; just some minor color changes, specifically with the grey and I have also kept a more fluid look with the fonts–I am obviously a huge fan of Arial at the moment. Other than that, the ...

The World is Now Dominated by Women, Where Have I Been?
2008-03-27 00:00:00
After hundreds of thousands of years of men ruling the world and everything in it, especially women and government, men are now saying that they feel emasculated. Boohoo. Via Broadsheet, I read about a study done by the Telegraph surveying the feelings of modern men living in the 21st century. About 2,000 men and ...

2008-03-27 00:00:00
The commercial sex industry is a very large and debated subject. Feminists, in particular, have waged wars of their own between themselves and between what is called “The Feminist Movement” and what is called “The Radical Feminist Movement” for quite some time now. Before you find yourself in the middle of a ...

Your Life Will Be Here Before You Know It

Crisis Pregnancy Centers Having to Tell People They Lie? Hells Yes!
2008-03-17 00:00:00
Crisis pregnancy centers really strike a chord in me that makes me sometimes rant to the boyfriend about how unfair it is that they are even able to “practice” pregnancy “options” with the women that go to them for help out of desperation and whom are bullied by so-called professionals to make the decision ...

Sexy Girls Play the Wii and You Should Too!

In my last post, I mentioned Nintendo’s sexist marketing strategies when it came to marketing the Wii. Just in case anyone missed the “sexy girls play the Wii and you should too” ad, which blatantly feeds off of male stereotypes, here it is: There’s several different things wrong with that ad. After watching it ...

2008-03-05 00:00:00
Many people in the United States believe that the war we are currently fighting is for just cause. Many people are also under the false assumption that because of this war, we have given the people of Iraq and Afghanistan the freedom of democracy; that we have bettered their lives. The reason ...

Vote Pro-Choice and Go to Hell
2008-03-04 00:00:00
Oh, the Catholic church is at it again with their preposterous shenanigans. Catholic bishops, being the men who form the delusions of speaking directly with god and informing others of his word, are going down their list of damnation and letting us all know that the latest memo says that reproductive rights trump ...

McCain Doesn?t Know if He Supports Contraception

I bring up John McCain on here quite a bit; the reason for that is because the more I read about him, the more I’m convinced that he just cannot be the Republican candidate for president. The more this man speaks, the more he makes even extreme right wingers look like peace-loving hippies. ...

16 Year Old Kid Sentenced to Life in Prison, Justice?
2008-02-26 00:00:00
This is an extremely old story, but since the case leaves very little to happen in a teenager’s case and I was instantly appalled at the state of “justice” that was served, I still believe it is newsworthy. Antonio Nunez of Santa Ana, California was arrested when he was just 14 years old on April ...
