47. It's
posting cheesecake himself, and gratuitously AFAIC, plus being outspoken about being a consumer of pornography. No help with tamping down DU's rampant sexism from that quarter, namely he who makes the rules. Add to that that a lot of people here really respect these three guys -- so what THEY do (and say) must be okay, right?

All the rest of the piece was just plain juvenile, I thought, not to mention the writing is forced and contrived, which is a shame since I've seen him do some very good writing. But it's the sexism built into the piece I find heartbreaking, tho not in the final analysis surprising.

And really, isn't the whole penis-size and sexual performance issue just a tad too juvenile and "macho man" patriarchal to start with? What place does it have in the discussions here? Or should it have? Zero, IMO.

Wouldn't it be nice if his wife would get her consciousness raised somehow (assuming any of his piece including this was actually true and not just an attempt at humor)?
