The Rape Index: Statistics Speak for Themselves
In the words of Harper’s Magazine editor Roger Hodge, the magazine’s monthly Index is “a statistical poem.” He presumeably meant that it allows the reader to experience it and come to his or her own conclusions. Today, instead of explaining a position, I offer a ‘statistical poem’ about rape. Each statistic is preceeded by the [...]

This was necessary because any action such a woman took following her rape, such as [...]

'It's Not Rape if She Blinks Twice for Yes' and Other Phallacies of Rape Culture
The New York Times recently reported that yet another rapist is being let off of the hook – as the majority are. Nearly 95% of men standing trial for rape in the United States and the United Kingdom are cleared of all charges, which is a shocking number considering the social, personal and political consequences [...]

Garfield Minus Garfield: The Analogy With U.S. Politics and Scratching Your Balls
There’s something about U.S. Foreign Policy that’s a bit off. “No, really,” you say, “wow, I thought we were just flouting international law with no possible repercussions because no one will ever have more power than we do.” But recently one perfect analogy of the

Our Masculine Systems: Women's Inequality Under the U.S. Constitution
Back in the day, in 1776, when our Founding Father and future second president John Quincy Adams was helping to draft the constitution, his wife, (Founding Mother?), Abigail Adams, asked him to “Remember the ladies” in that august document. He replied, in a letter, “Depend upon it, We know better than to repeal our Masculine [...]

Every (Male) Sperm Is Sacred.
. . .That’s pretty close to the text of a new bill introduced to the Ohio legislature by Republican John Adams, who suggests that women who are trying to get an abortion should have to get written permission from their fetus’ fathers in order to abort. Yep, that’s right. The Record Courier reports that the [...]
