Baptist News: Southern Baptist theology set me up for sexual abuse

So, by participating in my abuse, I was choosing to engage in sexual sin. My prayer, then, was not for God to make my abuse stop; my prayer was for God to give me the strength to make it stop. Every time I “allowed” myself to be abused, I prayed for God’s forgiveness because I did not stop the abuse.

Let’s Talk About Magic Dick Theory in ‘Dune’

Magic Dick Theory holds that chosen-one narratives are actually about adolescent boys’ relationships with their, um, sexuality. Spend enough time bumming around university libraries and you’ll eventually come across the argument that, essentially, the acquisition of magical powers in these stories is a metaphor for entering sexual maturity, and that one of the functions of these stories is to give readers a spectacularly dramatic framework for processing masturbation. And look, ugh, I know, but here’s the thing: The Freudian gymnastics required to arrive at this interpretation are actually … pretty reasonable?

Ending on the exploration of "cake narratives", as in having and eating, that both critique a trope while reveling in it.

FAIR: WaPo Tells Women: If You Want Marriage, Compromise With Misogyny

In fact, the right-wing Institute for Family Studies lurks throughout the editorial, along with its senior fellow Brad Wilcox, who was involved in discredited anti-same-sex marriage research that was influential in that political battle a decade ago. Together, the Post references or links to them three separate times in its editorial. (The IFS argument about marriage happiness is flawed too, by the way.)

Yeah. Young women: don't. While I'm very grateful to those who have tolerated some of my views over time, we should definitely not be encouraging anyone, let alone young women, to compromise with some of that shit.

Vox: The sexual abuse scandal rocking the Southern Baptist Convention, explained:

Complementarianism’s centrality within the SBC led to a heavily patriarchal institution, which Stone said created an environment in which sexual abuse could happen and be covered up as extensively as the Guidepost report said it was. And as such, she said, simple systemic fixes ultimately won’t be enough to reform the SBC. Instead, theological changes will have to be made, and they will be ones the SBC won’t want to make.

Huh. Turns out that maybe a religious community founded because of support of the institution of slavery might have deeply entrenched power dynamics which lead to abuse. Go figure.

Entry: 2023-11-08 19:27:18.904597+01 Red dye and the future of search by Dan Lyke comments 0

From 3 years ago, but worth noting: Zelda recipe appears in serious novel by serious author after rushed Google search

If you were writing a book and needed to find out how red clothes dye is traditionally made, you’d probably start with a simple Google search. At least, that’s what John Boyne, the author behind The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas says he “must have” done when it emerged that several fantasy ingredients from The Legend of Zelda have appeared in his most recent book, A Traveler at the Gates of Wisdom.

The problem, as journalist Dana Schwartz notes, is that rather than listing a real-world recipe, the current top search result for “ingredients red dye clothes” links to a guide from Polygon on how to dye clothes in the video game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It’s not an uncommon mistake for Google’s algorithms to make, but in this case the mistake seems to have made its way all the way into a published book by a respected author.

Remembering, once again, that Victor Hugo was well known to the sex worker community of Paris at the time and his death was so mourned by them, so beloved was he, that brothels were closed city wide so their workers could grieve.

Which, personally, i take as the single best marker of the man's character that I could imagine.

To not only treat sex workers well but be lionized by a city's worth of them, i cannot imagine that being the case without good reason

Eros Blog: Pornocalypse Comes For Kink Education, talking about Pandora Blake getting kicked off of YouTube:

None of the videos on my channel included sex or nudity. I avoided posting links to any adult sites in the video descriptions, linking to Patreon and mxblake.com instead. Since the talky trailers were my most viewed videos, and opportunities to promote adult content are few and far between, I thought that keeping them up with an age-restriction label in place was a risk worth taking, and that by giving up the opportunity to monetise the channel I was reducing it to an acceptable level. The gamble didn't pay off.

Prominent GOP donor who takes “offense” to being called a groomer gets 21 years for child sex abuse

From May to December of 2020, the then-30-year-old Lazzaro allegedly paid $50,000 to his then-19-year-old associate Gisela Castro Medina to arrange meetings with “broken” 14-, 15-, and 16-year-old girls that they found via social media and the “sugar daddy” website Seeking Arrangements.

DOJ: Anton “Tony” Lazzaro Sentenced to 21 Years in Prison for Child Sex Trafficking

In handing down the sentence, Chief Judge Schiltz commented on the “soulless, mechanical nature of Mr. Lazzaro’s crimes, like a sex trafficking assembly line,” adding that the only two people Mr. Lazzaro showed any remorse for were “himself and Jeffrey Epstein, who Mr. Lazzaro called ‘his brother.’”

I have a distant family member and her boyfriend visiting for a week. Both very intelligent, PhD student (physics/astrophysics) types. Also rock climbers/boulder types and very outdoorsy healthy. Also vegan and chaste. He's sleeping in the RV while she's upstairs. They vibrate with pent up sexual energy. I'm not sure if it's religious, family values or just masochism.

I'm trying to respect their decisions, but the urge to leave "The Joy of Sex" or the "Kama Sutra" out with a tub of coconut oil or grill some salmon/steaks is strong. If they can resist, so can I.

All of a sudden I see intense veganism as symptom of self-denial masochism and it almost makes sense.

Side note: current me goes vegetarian for a few days at a time. Easier in the summer.

West Virginia State Police Investigation: 10 more minors, 42 more women in total to sue West Virginia State Police over hidden cameras

According to a letter sent by Cpl. Joseph Comer, a member of the WV State Police, to state lawmakers, Governor Jim Justice, and the office of the Attorney General on February 16, a hidden camera or cameras were placed and operated inside the female locker room at the State Police Academy. Toriseva says her clients and other female Junior Trooper program attendees accessed and used the female locker room at the Academy during the time the anonymous letter states the cameras were in use. Toriseva also says the taping of the females in the Academy did not end until 2020, the same time the Junior Trooper Program was discontinued in 2020.

“Our ongoing investigation shows rampant sexual misconduct, including hidden videotaping, toward female cadets and others, while they attended the Academy,” Toriseva told 7News. “Much of the conduct is through witness provided evidence.”

Text messages also showed her alleged trafficker forced her to do something else: install an app called Life360 on her phone.

Anti-porn bills in 8 states could force device makers to censor sexual material

The bills would require phone and tablet manufacturers like Apple and Samsung to turn on content filters by default, but their reach could be deeper than intended.

"deeper than intended" my ass, the bluenoses always want to impose their religious law universally.

Utah's measure was signed into law in 2021, but it requires five additional states to pass similar laws.

The organizations driving this mentioned in the article are "National Center on Sexual Exploitation", "Protect Young Eyes", "Project STAND".

This, of course, is a good time to remember that pretty much every credible investigation into links between pornography availability and sexual violence show that there's a negative correlation, and this sort bullshit is usually pushed by the sort of predatory cultures that like to keep kids from having the language to describe being abuse, and who believe in the subjugation of women.
