4:45p - Remember when we were talking about vaginas?
This whole thing is probably not safe for work.
( PENIS! )
Indeed.

7:36p - No horses were harmed in this rape wank
Over at Pandagon, Amanda Marcotte makes a post on third-wave feminism. In it, she quotes a Dan Savage advice column where a woman engaged in some light bondage was anally raped by her boyfriend. The commenters are generally horrified.
( Well, almost all of the commenters are )
Edit: And on a completely different blog (but on the same topic), JDCasteleiro declares he's leaving because no one understands him/everyone is picking on him. Except he doesn't. And his girlfriend shows up.

10:24p - Foreskins and peenies and brises - oh my!
Yay for Salon.com. While many of their articles (on such topics as the Iraq war, socioeconomics in the far East, and the latest electronic gadgetry flying out of Steve Jobs' ass) generate letters that are interting, thoughtful and even civil, when they put up what are commonly called "lifestyle" articles, the splooge can fly so thick and fast you could very well drown in it.
Herein a tale of a Jewish husband caught in the Circumcision Wars.
A rather amusing story of what can happen when your wife and your parents Do. Not. Agree. on something you really don't care about one way or the other. (Since it's a Salon link, you have to click an ad to get the whole article.) But the real fun happens in the Letters section.
352 letters so far. We got it all here -
"Circumcision is barbaric!" "No, it's clean and healthy!"
"It's religious, so it's idiotic!" "Don't you DISRESPECT MAH JEWISH AUTHORITAH!"
"It's nothing compared to female circumcision!" "That's not relevant, you hairy feminist!"
"It's no big deal!" "It's traumatic and scarring!"
"I did it to myself!" (No, I'm not making that one up.)
And the occasional appearance of a few head-scratchers wondering why people get so freaked out about this. (That included me, by the way, but since I posted my reply very early and nobody responded at all, I don't think it counts in the splooge explosion, which took a while to gather steam.)
NOTE: In order to get the wank stream flowing correctly, remember to click the "Oldest First" button on the first page of the letters, otherwise Salon will list them in the reverse order.
Boy, nothing like an article about bodily functions to make the crowd at Salon go APESHIT.
