Let's not tackle procedural pests by burning down the Constitution.
How cool is bioluminescence?
Letters from Strip Clubs is an interesting project, but I don't care for its creator's feminist-bashing in this interview. Who? Who is this monolithic cult that decides what is and isn't right for women? And don't tell me it's not about power, when one of the guys writes that it's revenge for all the attractive women who wouldn't talk to them. How does that not translate into leveraging one's financial power against people who don't have it, to have them do something potentially gross? Even EMK's dismissive-if-spot-on take betrays that reality:
But for the average guy who goes to a strip club once a year for a bachelor party, it’s just a meaningless diversion that combines all of a man’s greatest pleasures: booze, boobs, and his buddies. We get to gawk and point and laugh and drink and bond with our friends before reality sets in and we go home a few hundred dollars lighter…So where does that leave the women being gawked and pointed and laughed at? I can agree with Ms. Breslin: some women love that, are born to do it. But I imagine it's degrading for a bunch of them (and Ms. Breslin acknowledges that), and if I were a guy, I would get little joy out of gawking and laughing at them.
While we're on the topic of nudity, Wired provides an argument for minimizing bras. The article is about so much more, but, yes, ladies, men do tend to take us less seriously based on our mammaries.
