misogynistic doosh begets misogynistic doosh


Roth's hometown (Morrisville PA) is not in the southern US. The last time I checked, if you're north of the Mason-Dixon line, you're in the north. (The article can be found here.)

Whatever. I still cringe when I hear "I Love College" — just as I cringe when I see/hear/read about Eminem. Despite Roth's claims in ILC ("I love women" and "don't have sex if she's too gone"), the video has a fair share of misogynist imagery. And I've read enough about his other songs to conclude that he has a lot to learn about how to treat women with respect.

Oh, and Asher? Putting two condoms on is not* an effective means of protection.

Whether or not you respected him, Eminem is, or at least was, talented. I haven't ever heard of this kid but he seems a presumptuous goof who's trying to ride in on the coat tails of a dead horse already beaten. Or maybe I'm just too old for fratboy bs.

Never heard of him before this second, but I feel like I've hated him my whole life.

I thought the fail was that they didn't capitalize Southern. But there was so much more.

Sex Talk with Phyllis Levy

The part of Canada I grew up in (mentioned in a post from February ) was pretty remote. Dealing with my sexuality in such a setting was awful in the 1980s, and I'm sure it's not much easier now. But in 1986 (when I was 16), I had a voice coming through my radio that gave me hope and made me feel slightly less alone. That voice belonged to Phyllis Levy , who hosted a show on WLS 890 out of Chicago called Sex Talk . I could receive WLS fairly reliably at night, despite the fact that Chicago was about 1050 km / 650 miles away (SSE, as the crow flies). It was AM radio, and I would keep it on low volume in my room. Phyllis Levy had the kindest voice, and a great sense of humour. I remember laughing when, discussing penile desensitization (from excessive friction), she exclaimed, "omigod, you guys! Be careful out there !" I would give anything to hear her voice again. I wasn't able to Google up much on her... so Phyllis, this one's for you.

I'm only planning on doing this once. Yep, rouge certainly doesn't tan ! The picture, although not current, is still representative. It's from my trip to Provincetown in 2002. I aspire to the full-on Joey "naked Thursday" concept . As you can see, I've modeled my tits after his. Joey : Yeah, why don't you move in with me? It'll be great! We could stay up late, watch movies... and you know about Naked Thursdays, right? Rachel : Yeah... yeah I think I'm gonna find my own place. Chandler : Hey, hey! I thought Naked Thursday was just our thing, man!
