Purity and Integrity?Balls
2007-12-13 00:00:00 I’ve spoken quite a bit on purity balls before, but lets face it, this topics in all of its Nazi-religious and abstinence-only brainwashing glory never gets old. Not to mention, of course, the underlying views of these affairs and how they tend to scream “incest” in not only big, but also bold and red type. Abstinence-only ...

2007-12-13 00:00:00 As many have noticed, Menstrual Poetry has been down for the last week or so due to a change in servers.

Hit by the Winter Spirit
2007-11-25 04:27:00 Last night as I was sitting at the computer working and trying not to fall asleep (damn you, normal sleeping schedules) I was suddenly hit by this weird feeling.

Saudi Arabia: Next War Zone?
2007-11-17 02:40:00 In the ultra-conservative kingdom of Saudi Arabia , a 19-year-old female victim of gang rape was sentenced to six months in jail as well as 200 lashes. In the first ruling of the case, the woman was ordered to undergo 90 lashes. However, in a new verdict, issued due to Saudi Arabia ’s Higher Judicial Council issuing a retrial, the court in the eastern town of Al-Qatif more than doubled her sentence because they found that she was in the same car of a male who was not related to her at the time of her rape as well as “[attempting] to aggravate and influence the judiciary through the media.” In addition to the sentence given to the woman, the six armed rapists were issued two to nine years in prison, and the woman’s lawyer, Abdul Rahman al-Lahem, was also forbidden to continue practicing law due to challenging the verdict that was already issued. Wahhabism, a strict Islamic doctrine, forbids men and woman who are not related to associate with each other and also ... More About: Zone , War Zone

More articles from this author:2007-10-13 07:18:00 In early September, I wrote about Aurora, Illinois, and the Planned Parent hood clinic that was causing anti-abortion activists to come out in droves to deter it from opening.
