There is nothing that's "Christian" about advice like "If you dress like a piece of meat, you're gonna get thrown on the BBQ" or "Girls, giving your affection to a guy right away... just gives him a prize without making him fight for it. He didn't have to make an effort. He didn't invest any money. And now you give him a prize" or "Every new sexual experience when you are not married puts another ding, another scratch, another scar on who you are."

Justin Lookadoo and Hayley DiMarco, you suck. Revell Books, Hungry Planet, you suck, go away. You want to tell someone who's been raped that she's now a "beat-up old used car"? You freaking suck.

And this is why the Twilight books are so popular, you know?

Because girls don't want to be told that they have the sole responsibility for not letting anyone have sex with them, for not getting treated like a piece of meat. They don't want to have that job. Twilight -- it's all the passion and none of the guilt, and it's the guy who's put into that gatekeeper role. And as much as I hate those books, as much as I think they have poisonous attitudes about men and women and romantic relationships, it's better than what's in "Dateable."

It's actually untrue that women get custody more then men. When men ask for custody, they are more likely to receive it than be denied. More often than not, they're not asking for custody.

There's a lot of reasons for that that would take a very long time to untangle properly.

As for testicular cancer being underfunded, perhaps it's because women's groups, cancer survivors, and the like have done a lot of campainging for it and pushed it into the lime light? In Australia, there's a great deal of attention paid to prostate and testicular cancer, because men worked to make it so. Just like women worked to make breast cancer important.
