Readers of this blog may recall that in the last presidential election, I brought myself to vote for the Repuglican ticket for the first time in many years, and I did so because of Sarah Palin’s presence on that ticket. She is genuinely and sincerely and believably pro-life, and that, in my mind, is the …
Pod Porn
One of the older fears about pornography that has not been borne out has been the fear that widespread pornography would create a sexually enflamed male populace. But what has happened is that porn has actually dampened sexual interest in real women, serving many men as a cheap substitute. When it comes to real people, …
The Rubber Band is Just Fine
“What Paul is urging here he calls modesty, which in this place is not so much directed at décolletage only as it is against every form of ostentatious display. All the things mentioned were the sorts of things that ancient women of the Roman glitterati did — braiding jewels into their hair and sprinkling gold …
