For Losers Like I've Been

Oh my god, I’m in love.

Also, I really, really miss my red hair.

“’There’s a sense that this return to style, or to a consciousness of how you look, is an attempt by young men to recover a set of values that were at one point very much present in American society and then lost,’ he said. ‘It strikes me as being of a piece with the way young people buy their coffee or their food: paying attention to authenticity or quality, and to whether something is organic or local. They stand for a rejection of the idea that all consumer goods are ephemeral and inevitably made in China and bought at Wal-Mart.’”

Definitely worth a read.

Oh, that annoys the hell out me.  And yet… some of the things included on this list are so fucking hilarious.

I’m (apparently) going to hell for SO many different things.  Ha.

The age of consent [in Ireland] for vaginal or anal sex is 17 for both males and females, but females under the age of 17 cannot be prosecuted for having sex while underage. Males, on the other hand, can be prosecuted for having sex before turning 17 as well as for “defilement” which involves having sex with an underage female.

Please explain to me why a sixteen-year-old boy can be charged with a crime for having sex. Then please explain to me why a sixteen-year-old girl can’t.

Also, really? “Defilement”?

I’d say it probably stems from the idea of the female as the passive, “receiving” partner in the sex act… which is pretty sexist toward both boys and girls, the more I think about it.

As for “defilement”… ugh, that really grinds my gears.  Consensual sex is defiling?  What kind of message are we really sending kids if we’re calling sex defiling?

UGH, so angry now.
