I’ll tell you a secret. I have never intentionally clicked on an internet ad. Not once in my whole life. I know that probably seems strange to you given the fact that I write for a site that makes the entirety of its income from ad revenue. But it’s the truth. I don’t watch television […]
Continue reading →You know things are bad when one of the most logically consistent voices coming from the left is an alleged serial rapist and pornographer. James Deen, who has starred in over 2,000 pornographic films, recently responded to allegations that he had raped a growing list of ex-girlfriends and co-stars. I’m not writing about this story because […]
Continue reading →Our culture does a brisk business in dehumanized bodies, it seems. We have a 10 billion dollar industry selling viewing rights to various body parts in various configurations.
