Men Are Happier Than Women by Mid-Life
Posted by Admin under: Economics; Science.
The USA Today seems to imply that women are being oppressed in the home, or that men have an unfair advantage, blah blah. Perhaps pining your hopes on the earnings of someone else leads to angst? Perhaps women’s expectations are higher than men’s, thereby leading to more disappointment.

Be Glad You Don’t Live There
Posted by Admin under: Economics; Real Estate.
Note to self — Never live in a remote mining town in Australia. Apparently theres a 5:1 Male:Female ratio there. Furthermore, the mayor is appealing to the ugly ducklings to move there. Why? Because with a ratio like that any desperate man would take even the ugliest woman. Yikes! Sounds like mining is a bad career choice.

Bisexuality Common Among Animal Kingdom - Including Humans
Posted by Admin under: Economics; Science.
According to Scientific American, bisexual behavior is common in the animal kingdom. One fascinating quote towards the end:
Stress and the greater availability of same-sex partners may similarly contribute to the practice of homosexual acts among self-described heterosexual humans in environments such as the military, jails and sports teams. In a study published this year in the journal Sex Roles, Anderson found that 40 percent of 49 heterosexual former high school football players attending various U.S. universities had had at least one homosexual encounter. These ranged from kissing to oral sex to threesomes that included a woman. In team sports, homosexuality is “no big deal and it increases cohesion among members of that team,” Anderson claims. “It feels good, and [the athletes] bond.”

“Rape” Definition Updated in MD
Posted by Admin under: Law; Risk Management.
According to the Baltimore Sun, a recent court ruling has changed how “rape” is defined. Apparently some poor punter is going to prison for 15 years because he stopped fingering a girl 5-10 seconds after she revoked consent. This is probably one of the most outrageous perversions of our so-called justice system that I’ve heard of in quite a while. Do men have any rights left in this country?? Whatever happened to punishment commensurate with the crime? How can someone get the same sentence for the fickleness of his partner that a violent kidnapper/rapist gets? What are rational men supposed to take away from this ruling?
My answer? Abstinence in MD and researching which other states have the same policy. Perhaps this video sums up our future.
