Sioux Falls, S.D., Mother Allegedly Caught in Group Sex With Pre-Teen Boys

Accusations of extreme perversion: A 30-year old Sioux Falls woman has been charged with rape, sexual contact with a child, and sexual exploitation of a minor after her boyfriend discovered her naked in their apartment Wednesday night with at least three boys between age 7 and 10. Sioux Falls police spokesman Sam Clemens said Anne […]

Call Me Old-Fashioned, But …

. . . as the father of six children, the standard method of procreation has always seemed to me both efficient and fun. Others, however, consider the natural way of baby-making to be too messy and unscientific, and so Progress demands a Brave New World of “reproductive technology,” about which Alexis Madigral of The Atlantic enthusiastically […]

Alyssa Funke, R.I.P.

She was a straight-A student and then she decided it would be smart to get an F on camera, so to speak: A 19-year-old college student committed suicide just two weeks after making her first pornographic video. Alyssa Funke, who starred in her first porn film earlier his year for a website called CastingCouch-X, used […]

Campus Rape Reports Increase?

A.J. Delgado has some interesting observations: [I]f recent reports are to be believed, there is an outright “epidemic” of rape on college campuses, one so grave that students are even complaining that school administrators are not going far enough in hunting down and punishing the accused. NPR confirmed last month that campus rape reports are on the rise and that […]

Feminism: Love as Oppression and Heterosexuality as Subordination

Anyone who studies feminist theory quickly realizes a truth first expressed by Women’s Liberation pioneer Ti-Grace Atkinson in 1971: “Feminism is the theory. Lesbianism is the practice.” That is to say, when feminists condemn “patriarchy,” they are not merely condemning all men, but also heterosexuality, viewing heterosexual women as victims of male oppression. Insofar as […]

‘She Passed Out in a Bedroom . . . She Wasn’t Strong Enough to Push Him Away’

When @Belle_Knox — porn alias of Miriam Weeks, the Duke University freshman Women’s Studies major — began telling her story, everyone with an interest in the field of abnormal psychology took notice. Her explanation of why she was doing what she was doing simply didn’t add up. We were asked to believe that financial desperation […]
