I was recently reading that in some state they’re trying to pass a law to make oral sex illegal. I think that is just one of the dumbest things ever. Where do these religious zealots get off (Heh, no pun intended.) trying to impose laws on what consenting adults do…
I Don’t Need to Live According to Your Religion
I believe that people have the right to practice whatever religion, faith or lack thereof that they see fit. They can live by whatever rules their faith sets forth for them. That’s just fine. What’s not fine is when people take their beliefs and try shoving them down the throats…
What’s With the War on Women?
The last couple of years have been quite disturbing to me. The current war on women has got me feeling like the country, and maybe the world, is going backwards instead of forwards. I don’t understand it. Why is there this war on women? The government and large corporations are…
The Unfortunate Shame of Polyamory, My “Coming Out” Story
*Be forewarned, this is going to be a long piece.* I’ve been doing a lot of soul-searching in the last year, and a great deal more in the last few weeks. I’ve been making leaps and bounds in my personal development too, but there’s something that has been a major…
Pink Doesn’t Make You Gay
I can’t count the number of times that I have seen or heard stupidity over colors being related to specific genders “blue is for boys, pink is for girls”, and the nonsense that color choices have anything to do with your sexuality. The really stupid thing is that if a…
Evil is a Human Construct
So many people like to throw around the words “good” and “evil”. There really is very little that is black or white in that department. Mostly, “Evil” is just “What I perceive as not good from my point of view.” Nature doesn’t have good and evil. It doesn’t exist. Things…
Kindness Is Not Weakness
“Nice guys finish last.” Haven’t we all heard that? It’s one of those common sayings that is far more harmful than most might suspect. What that phrase basically tells people is that if you want to win, to get ahead, you can’t be nice. This leads to a world of…
We Are All Connected To Each Other
Have you ever thought about what the world is really like? I have, and I see it like a spider web. Every one of us is connected to one another along the lines of the web. Each one has a leg on a line, and if anyone twitches, everyone feels…
Women Are Not Baby Machines
The current war on women has got me thinking about a lot of the issues that women face. One that has been a problem for a long time is the idea that a woman’s prime purpose in life is to bear children. Men can do and be anything, but any…
Every Individual Can Make a Difference
I mentioned in a previous post that it may be difficult to change the media tide, but it can be done. That got me to thinking about the general mentality that one person is incapable of making a change. The truth of the matter is that every one of us…
Verbal Abuse: As Bad As Fists, Maybe Worse
In my last post I was talking about why we settle in relationships and how to break ourselves of it. As I was writing that post it occurred to me that the main reason we settle is low self-esteem, and one of the largest causes for low self-esteem is the…
