The Deadly Menace of Fake Boobs

Some critics have dismissed my oft-stated preference for natural breasts as mere ignorant bigotry against artficial enhancement, but now at last I’ve been vindicated by science: Thousands of women ‘should’ have breast implants removed Around 45,000 British women are known to have had Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) implants, which have since been found to have [...]

We Needed ‘Science’ to Tell Us This?

Unattractive guys lacking social skills are — unexpectedly! — poor judges of women’s interest in them: There are “tons” of studies that show men think women are interested when they’re not, says lead author Carin Perilloux, a visiting professor at Williams College. But her study, which will be published in an upcoming issue of Psychological [...]

Sex-Change Hormones at Age 11? ‘There Are No Ill Consequences,’ Says Spack

That’s Dr. Norman Spack, M.D.: The Children’s Hospital Gender Management Services Clinic can, using hormone therapies, halt puberty in transgender children, blocking the development of secondary sexual characteristics — a beard, say, or breasts — that can make the eventual transition to the other gender more difficult, painful, and costly. Founded in 2007 by endocrinologist [...]

Science. . .Fiction

by Smitty Slashdot has a story from Reuters about a Dutch social shrink who was unencumbered by that messy ‘data’ stuff that restricts the output of so many researchers near you: In a statement posted on the internet via the Dutch newspaper Brabants Dagblad this week, Stapel admitted to falsifying data and apologized for his [...]

Berkeley Professor Swindles Kochs Out of $150,000 for Global Warming Project

Don Surber fact-checked a Washington Post article and determined that Richard Muller, whom the Post touted as a “self-proclaimed climate skeptic” was, in fact, an early advocate for man-made global warming theory who “has re-branded himself a former skeptic — the better to sell global warming.” But I think Surber missed the lead: Muller got $150,000 [...]

Come to Think of It — No, Wait …

My unfortunate penchant for double-entendres made it rather difficult for me to read the following article: A lawyer who donated sperm to pay his way through college has learned that he has fathered an astonishing 70 children. More than 15 of those have already attempted to contact 33-year-old Ben Seisler. The donor confessed to his [...]

STOP THE HATE: Danish Sperm Bank Turns Down Redheaded Donors

This is just cruel: Redheaded men are being turned away as sperm donors — because demand for their progeny is so low. Ole Schou, director of Cryos in Denmark, the world’s biggest sperm bank, said the facility had become so successful it was now much more selective about choosing donors. . . . ‘There are [...]

Freaks of Nature

Anatoly Strakhov discovered this rare mutant — a baby seal with reddish fur and blue eyes — among a family of seals on Tyuleniy Island, Russia: According to the London Daily Mail, this bizarre creature was rescued after the other seals “took an instant dislike to the ginger pup, leaving it to fend for itself.” [...]

Oh, Boy (and Oh, Girl): ‘Mental Health Professionals’ De-Stigmatize Pedophilia?

They’re academic experts – what could possibly go wrong? The August 17 Baltimore conference is sponsored by B4U-ACT, a group of pro-pedophile mental health professionals and sympathetic activists. According to the conference brochure, the event will examine “ways in which minor-attracted persons [pedophiles] can be involved in the DSM 5 revision process” and how the [...]

Rebecca Watson: ‘Stop Sexualizing Me!’

This was originally going to be titled, “Agreeing With Richard Dawkins,” because one of the world’s most notorious Darwinists has offended feminists by telling them that there are worse things than being propositioned in a hotel elevator. But then I saw the video in which the atheist chick at the epicenter of this controversy made [...]

Al Gore, Population Control Expert

“One of the things we could do about [global warming] is to change the technologies, to put out less of this pollution, to stabilize the population, and one of the principle ways of doing that is to empower and educate girls and women. You have to have ubiquitous availability of fertility management so women can [...]

Science Gone Wrong

Instapundit’s enthusiasm for all things scientific leads him to write this headline: MORE WOMEN ARE freezing their eggs to make babies later. Makes sense. Well, excuse me for disagreeing. It is a preposterously stupid idea to encourage women deliberately to postpone first-time motherhood until they are middle-aged, without concern for the obvious arguments against such a decision. For [...]
