So, I realize the triskele shape is used as a symbol for a hundred different things, but these Life cereal “pinwheels” look an awful lot like the BDSM emblem. It’s why I took a picture of them in the middle of Jewel.
It’s sort of like the lefty/thinking person’s “Falling Down.” I take no pleasure in seeing people murdered, but a lot of the dialogue is really interesting. Jason said he sounds like, “a drunk, rambling Ann.”
Erin - I really think you’d like it.
Fantasies about pretty young white women being controlled, hurt and dominated by men have always been the the part of kink that nobody ever really had a problem with. During the crackdowns on the fetish and kink communities in the 1980s and early 1990s, submissive heterosexual women and their play partners were rarely targeted for prosecution. Today, when you think of ‘fetish’, many people think of Jean Paul Gaultier models strutting the runway in elegant leathers, and arty snaps of willowy girls doing Japanese rope bondage in low-lit loft apartments . You might not be quite so quick to picture middle-aged gay couples in matching latex, or enormous, hairy men called Nigel waddling around fetish clubs with joysticks up their bottoms and big grins on their faces, but kink has always been as much about them as it has been about the beautiful young girls, breakable or pretending to break others, who tend anyway to have less disposable income to spend on rubber.
Here are some non-standard sexual trends that editors at Newsweek, Glamour and Cosmopolitan are less keen to make headlines out of: poor women fucking. Black women fucking. Queer women fucking. Old women fucking. Fat women fucking, ugly women fucking, bossy, arrogant women fucking. Women who are dominant in bed. Women who like to penetrate men with big pink strap-ons. Women who want multiple sexual partners at once or in succession. Women who just want to go to bed early with a cup of tea, an Anna Span DVD and a spiked dildo the size of an eggplant. Here are some more: sex workers who want to be treated like workers, rather than social pariahs. men who want to get fucked. Men who are gentle and submissive in bed. Men who don’t enjoy penetrative sex. Men for whom sex is an overwhelming emotional experience. I guarantee you that all of these things go on, but any of them might actually destabilise for a second our cultural narrative of sex, gender and power, so none of them are allowed to be ‘trends’.<3
YES, YES! A THOUSAND TIMES YES!
Thirded.
Also, this snippet was so good that I had to go looking for its source. I found it, unsurprisingly, on Penny Red’s blog. And then I had to scroll down to the comments. And, there, I was surprised to find myself being referenced.
Hmm.

There we go, some T-tops.
Think of all the pregnancies that would happen just by that piece of 1980 driving by?????
I need this. All of it.
One of my least favorite phrases in the world is “finger bang.” Yet in my mind, I cannot stop seeing it in flashing neon letters when I look at this.
Never fuck a capitalist. They refuse condoms because they don’t like protection for the workers.
As we have nothing to lose but our chains, when tying down a comrade make sure your knot and fasterns are as unforgiving as your prejudice to the ruling class during the revolution.
Hee.
Rather than security escorting them out, dude should have been arrested. Because really, the law is one of the few lines of defense we have. Getting kicked out of a hotel bar just makes them rowdy boys; getting arrested and charged with sexual abuse (which, and I’m no expert, I think would be the technical name for what he did) makes him a criminal. I’m also guessing they probably didn’t have to pay their bar tab, so the waitress lost the tip she was working so hard to get.
Everyone is dicks.”
Really, this girl probably went back to work because she had to. She is likely not that thrilled about her work uniform being a tiny bikini, but the money is probably better than if she were fully clothed (leaving aside for now the fact that she probably has to spend money for various services to make sure she is “acceptable” in a bikini - waxing, etc). The issue here is clearly the culture all around. That doesn’t excuse bro’s behavior, and he should be held responsible for it (which he clearly wasn’t and it makes me want to spit nails), but the whole situation just illustrates why hegemonic masculinity is a problem. He could have done a better job of showing how it harms men, too, but whatevs. It’s a small article in an otherwise forgettable publication, so I can’t really hold him to some kind of serious standard.
Less importantly, the term “bro-bro” sounds a bit too cutesy, and it makes me think of George Michael calling his grandfather “pop-pop” on “Arrested Development.”
Hey Marketing Jerks -
Who has the San Pellegrino or Perrier accounts? Alright dummies, I’m about to give you the promotion of a life time, for free. Why have none of you genius’ called the jerk-waters at 7-11 and tried to get them to carry flavored mineral water Slurpees? Are you idiots? Do you…
Limonata Slurpee would be like a semi-liquid Italian ice!
