Having already expressed my profound admiration for womankind — that Woman is worthy of protection and chivalry — I must now express something far less comfortable, and yet vital to her well-being. For in recent years I’ve become aware that modern woman, being alienated generations from the laws of nature and all sensibility, has placed both herself and mankind in a precarious position — so dangerous, in fact, that I believe her doing so comprises a forfeiture of sanity. To explain this theory, a theory enshrouded by almost two centuries of feminist “thought,” we must begin with the concept of reason itself. (more…)

On rape and the law
Earlier in the month of October, I heard a troubling story about a man. Now, the man is not me (as some writers have a tendency to conceal), nor is he a man I know, but he is very close to a person who’s close to me. We can very rightly say the man is a fool: carousing with strange women, drinking to inebriation, cheating on his partner — certainly that he lacks sexual virtue. But having spent quite a bit of time running about the streets like a dog, he was eventually hit by a car. (more…)

On objective physical beauty and the concept of fashion
When in the course of discussion, seemingly irreconcilable differences become manifest concerning the existence and preference of beauty, such differences oftentimes appear indicative of beauty’s subjective nature — that beauty is in the eye of the beholder; that because men visibly differ in preference, nature acknowledges no formula for the definition of “attractive.” But yet I believe the opposite can be proven: that a standard not only exists, but that the pursuit of beauty and fashion only maintain legitimacy within certain boundaries; and that if the pursuit of beauty transgresses its limitations, it becomes a perversion. It is the object of this essay to prove this theory, perhaps not defining the particulars of beauty — not to say which shades or shapes are beautiful –, but rather to present a general defense of beauty’s objective existence.

Recollections of an unchaste youth
When I was about the age of five, I distinctly remember attending a wedding. The details of the actual ceremony, by this point, are almost entirely lost: I know whose wedding it was, and that they had either rented or borrowed nice table cloths. The strange part about the whole circumstance is that I remember the table cloths because I was beneath them with a young girl, and we were hiding beneath them because we were taking our clothes off.

Tired of defending traditional marriage?
Despite the recent Chick-Fil-A victory, I must confess, though I firmly believe that homosexuality is a sin against God, and that acceptance of its practice will cause great harm to our society, that I’ve grown tired of defending traditional marriage. But please: I ask the reader’s forgiveness. For my weariness, condemnable as such weakness may be, has little to do with personal fortitude, and everything to do with marriage’s already deplorable state. (more…)

On 50 Shades of Grey: an open letter to ladies
Dear Ladies,
For a few short years now, I’ve considered myself a gentleman. Having converted to Christianity after a long career of sexual evils, and having disposed of many women like used beer bottles, considering them as nothing more than a means to entertainment, I am experienced in modern romance as most playboys, and perhaps among the most realistic about my encounters. And though men need not experience the depths of depravity to know goodness, such experiences followed by conversion oftentimes leave the participant with a sobriety unknown by the innocent, a goodness oftentimes more fiercely defended by its possessors. As an experienced gentleman, then, having renounced the mindset that women are sport, and embracing them as sisters instead of toys, and knowing well the dangers of sexual evils, it’s my duty not only to consider the greatest good for the fairer sex, but to speak honestly when that good is directly assaulted. This is why I believe it’s necessary to speak about 50 Shades of Grey. (more…)

Why Christianity is sexually conservative
In the present day and age, no political passion surpasses that exchanged between sexual liberals and sexual conservatives. Even within the buildings known as Christian churches, division permeates an already splintered people into smaller shards, the whispers growing into shouts, indignant people preaching sermons which do little to convince, and much more to infuriate. And when both sides reach that fevered pitch, what are we to decide? Aren’t we to call every sinner to Christ? What authority do Christian standards have beyond the church? And if God judges the nations, what kind of law does He call us to support? (more…)

Why true conservatives do not attend AIDS rallies
In the world of politics, there are perhaps fewer psychological weapons better disguised than a so-called charitable cause. For though at first some causes appear to be rooted in goodness, in empathy, and in mercy, they can oftentimes be vehicles not only to safely advance causes which many find morally offensive, but also tools to silence opponents without the perils of argument. And in this brand of political warfare, there perhaps exists no greater weapon than the fight against AIDS. (more…)

Reexamining the laws of assault
In modern American society, though men and women oftentimes pretend to support equal rights for both genders, they in actuality support systems which favor one sex over the other. (more…)

Why “fiscal conservatism” isn’t enough
The TEA Party has got establishment Republicans’ panties in a major twist. While most party insiders argue that fiscal conservatism is the uniting factor which will bring Americans out of a socialist abyss, TEA Partiers (despite some obvious ideological diversity within their ranks) aren’t so sure that fiscal conservatism alone is the answer, bringing a serious brand of social conservatism into the mix. Supposedly this foray into “archaic” and “unwinnable” social issues could cost Republicans the elections, but what could Republicans lose without social conservatism? (more…)

The shortest argument against pornography, probably ever
This week, I had the pleasure of watching Ron “The Hedgehog” Jeremy debate a conservative on MSNBC regarding a new anti-pederasty bill. Supposedly, the bill intended to create a national registry of porn stars for the purpose of ensuring the legal age of all porn stars, so that nobody could be paid to have sex before they turned 18–like infamous porn star Tracy Lords was. And yes: suddenly self-righteous Americans were dumb enough to bring the first amendment into the issue, because they actually believe that making porn is speech.
But here’s a novel argument, brought to you by logic. You may have learned how to do this in eighth grade geometry class. (more…)
