Evening-length 'Don Juan' custom-made for a former Bolshoi dancer
It opens like a sex romp, San Diego Ballet's new three-act piece by choreographer Javier Velasco, set to guitar concertos by Joaquín Rodrigo.
A nobleman's servant, played by veteran dancer Maxim Tchernychev, gets manhandled by the lady of the house (Rachel Sebastian Hagquist). Then her daughter (Arielle Meads) seduces him. Then he is willingly and splendidly ravished by both women simultaneously.
And when he's not lavishing attention on each ballerina — lifting them, embracing them, letting one ride him on all fours like a horse — they carry on with classical steps. At one point, the daughter turns in place, standing on one leg in a chair, executing a tour de promenade.
After the three tire of sensuous balletic moves and are spent, in comes the nobleman-husband (Matt Carney). A leaping dance-scuffle ensues. The wife is reclaimed, dragged off by her armpits. The servant chucks the daughter in the air (she's caught by her father), as he makes his escape.
Gypsies, sea nymphs, toylike geishas, angry sailors and a redemptive love await him.
Leave it to San Diego Ballet to do the tawdry tale of "Don Juan" for Valentine's weekend.
Founded in 1989 by Velasco and co-director Robin Sherertz Morgan, the small company gleefully embraces the unconventional. They're known for dipping a toe into the contemporary dance idiom (see their "Mambomania") and for not ranking their dancers officially as principals, soloists or corps de ballet.
The most atypical feature of this "Don Juan"?
It was custom-made for its 42-year-old lead, Tchernychev. The square-faced, blond Steve McQueen look-alike joined San Diego Ballet in 2010. Nearly two decades ago he danced with Moscow's famed and powerfully athletic Bolshoi Ballet.
"Max (Tchernychev) is a mature Don Juan," Velasco said at a cafe one January evening, in a break from rehearsals, wearing a dominatrix-themed hoodie inscribed with "The Nutcracker."
"The mature dancer has history, technique at (his) command, is relaxed and ready to be an artist as opposed to just being an athlete," added the dance maker.
"I chose this specifically because Max was working with the company. We had premiered a production of 'Romeo and Juliet' years ago, and he ended up doing the Romeo part. He was very good, but I would watch him and think, 'He's wasted in this part.' Romeo is 16 and he's headstrong. He falls in love with Juliet, and three days later, he's dead. It would be nice if Max as an artist could play a character with more color."
Don Juan is a centuries-old, fictional womanizer immortalized in a comic opera by Mozart ("Don Giovanni") and a play by Molière ("Dom Juan"). But Velasco is using an epic, rambling poem by Lord Byron for his source material. Byron's 16-canto "Don Juan" reads like someone gossiping in rhymes about an attractive guy who gets into scrapes and sexual escapades. This Don Juan conceit justifies having the ballet's male lead dancing duets, trios and ensembles with a seemingly never-ending supply of pretty women.
Rehearsals revealed a ballet with the framework of a traveling show: There are segments with balletic traces of "Giselle," others with hints of high-energy dance numbers you'd see in a musical. (Which is why Velasco has been likened to the ballet and Broadway great Jerome Robbins.)

Approxiniatelv three per cent, of high sehool pujiils enter college. ¦ When you consider that the curriculum uf the high school is primarily based on the requirements for entrance to the ';olleges the folly of the present system is apparent. The high school must meet requircnients made by the 'colleges if its graduates are to enter higher institutions. Tlie courses of study in high schools art shaped by the college, iind the college has been shortsightfed in dictating to the pre¬ paratory schools beyond the point of fairness and common sense, so that the course of study in the high school is most academic in its character. Instead uf adjusting education to the needs and inclinati, n-^ nf the pupil. we have unfortunately li'en favoring the lew at the expense of the many by allowing ourselves to lie dominated by tbe fetish of hook learning in pro¬ viding a course of study by which only those whu go tu college can pussihly he benetilteii. .Merely fur the sake of passing examinations the great major¬ ity of the pupils receive a smattering of a general e(Jucatioti which is of no practical use. and is illy adapted in developing their more useful capabili¬ ties. It is obvious tbat we should get away from this idea and concern our¬ selves more in the future with the after effects of education on ali the pupils, rather than with the taliulated results of .t-chuul examinations on book knowledge. Il was a start towards the gradual currectinn of this irration¬ al system that the Board uf Kducation had in mind in asking for tlie appruval by thf public of the pruriosifion re¬ ferred to. One man iias saul tbat "onr present school system is inefficient beyond apology." Exce)iiion can and .should betaken (u this stalemeiit. Iluivever, there is undoubtedly chu.sc fur criti¬ cism in that h great many ut uur schools place tou liltie iniportance ntend upon the aciiuiremeiit uf thit practical ,,v, nt knowledge \vhicii i- ^¦¦v~-n]\ tu real success in life, and they breed in the pupils' minds contempt fur niHiiual ac- c-um;ilis!i:ni;Us and l)cu:si hi,lii -ci-rice.

Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by rustybay Sheer Top w/ Luxe Sleeves I'm a huge fan of sheer fabrics an billowy sleeves, so this top is perfect for me. It doesn't pull apart nearly so much at the collar as this photo suggests, and I find the color a bit more muted in person, making it attractive for most skin tones. It worked for me and I've got naturally caramel blonde hair with green eyes. I didn't think the orange would work for me, but this burnt orange made it into my closet. The waist is slightly large and hips slightly smaller, but that may be because I have a more hourglass shape than this was sized for. I'd recommend December 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Egome818z Work it anytime of day Was iffy on the color at first, as i have nothing in my closet this color,but then I tried it on and thought why not!? Noticed alot of guys at work complimenting the color lol my bf loved it overall. Can wear it to work or wknds with some leather pants or jeggings :) October 13, 2012

Midwest Living Review
The factory is where it all begins for thousands of pounds of chocolate yummies sold throughout Indiana and Michigan each day. Our first thought was of Lucille Ball's hilarious chocolate factory sketch, and we were delighted to find a life-size cutout of Lucy and Ethel in the lobby for guests to peek through and photograph. We began with a brief history of chocolate and pictures of how the cacao is grown. Then we entered the heavenly kitchen where the chocolate is melted down (South Bend doesn't actually make the chocolate, but buys it from a Chicago supplier), blended with other ingredients, molded into shapes, and "enrobed" onto popcorn, malt balls, nuts and more. Be prepared to don a hair net (and, if you have facial hair, a beard-net). After smelling the cocoa concoctions, you're more than ready for the free samples handed out throughout the tour. A sample bag is included and, if your appetite exceeds your sack, you can stock up in the onsite outlet store at a discount. The whole operation is just about five rooms, so if you're expecting the wonders of Willy Wonka, you'll be disappointed. But the tour guides were entertaining and informative, and the public tour is free, tasty, and worth the 30 minutes. We'd skip the extended tour which costs $4 and doesn't really add to the experience. Tours available 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday-Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Walk-ins welcome, but you can call ahead for reservations, as well.

- Release Date: 2006
These Medium Season 3 videos continue the work of Emmy Award-winning executive producer, creator and director Glenn Gordon Caron who brings us Medium, a chilling drama series inspired by the real-life story of medium Allison DuBois. Emmy winner Patricia Arquette stars in these Medium videos as a young wife and mother who struggles to make sense of her dreams and visions of dead people. As Allison DuBois, Arquette is a strong-willed mother of three and devoted wife who begins to suspect that she can talk to dead people, see the future in her dreams and read people's thoughts. Fearing for her mental health, she turns for support to her husband Joe (Jake Weber), an aerospace engineer, who slowly comes to believe that what his wife is telling him just might be true. The real challenge is convincing her boss, D.A. Devalos (Miguel Sandoval) and other doubters in the criminal justice system that her psychic abilities can give them the upper hand in solving violent and horrifying crimes whose mysteries often reside with those who live beyond the grave. Sofia Vassilieva and Maria Lark also star as the two eldest DuBois children.
Buy Medium season three for more compelling shows as Allison DuBois uses her visions to help the authorities solve vexing crimes.

Bolts need to actually show Butler he's important
Edging the three sides of a glass-encased display in the center of the Chargers Park lobby are practically life-sized action photos of Philip Rivers, Antonio Gates and Donald Butler.
Teams only so immortalize marquee players.
Butler is certainly becoming that.
It could be argued, however, that choosing Eric Weddle would have made more sense, given the veteran free safety's tenure and the virtual guarantee they wouldn't have to swap out the photo next spring.
After all, Weddle is signed through 2015, as are the other two lobby poster boys, Rivers and Gates.
Butler's contract expires after this season.
However, thankfully, the Chargers and Butler's agent are working to rectify that.
And, yes, I mean rectify – as in to put right, to resolve, to correct.
See, it's nice that the Chargers recognize Butler as crucial to the operation. A picture might say a thousand words, but it doesn't say commitment.
The best way to show that is to get a contract extension done in the next five weeks, a timetable that reflects the Chargers' desire to lock up Butler long-term by the start of the season or wait until the calendar turns to 2014.
Nooooo …
That type of delay has happened too often here, resulting in overspending and loss of talent.
After distinguishing the first half of his reign with bold contract extensions, the majority of which served him well in building a talented roster that won more regular-season games than all but four teams from 2004 through 2009 and made the playoffs five time in those six years, former general manager A.J. Smith stopped being proactive. Those factors included, for sure, team President Dean Spanos' reluctance to go out on a limb under the specter of a labor crisis, as well as Smith's stubbornness, and perhaps it also may have been precipitated by questionable Smith decisions such as the too-early, too-big deal awarded Luis Castillo in 2009.
It's a new regime, time to do things differently.
Chargers Head Coach Mike McCoy told the U-T's Michael Gehlken on Saturday: "You want to continue to re-sign your own guys whenever you can … As time goes along (and) they perform, we're going to take care of them and try to keep our guys in-house. That's the most important thing. Do things the right way here. Players appreciate that, and that's what we plan on doing as time goes along."
McCoy, Tom Telesco and Dean and John Spanos need to show fans that they are collectively shrewd, forward thinking and unafraid. They need to show players that they will be rewarded and that "building from within" is not a shell of a mantra – as it became the past few seasons.
Here is what Butler has shown: flashes of All-Pro ability and, moreover, steady improvement; an understanding of the defense; a penchant for making plays; a purposeful ascension into a leadership role on and off the field.
Butler, 24, is exactly who you want in the core of your defense. Put him with 23-year-old defensive linemen Corey Liuget and Kendall Reyes, rookie linebacker Manti Te'o (22) and old man Weddle (28), and you have quite the core. (Liuget, by the way, is signed through 2014 but needs is also a burgeoning star that shouldn't be kept waiting too long for an extension.)

Four vehicles and a double-wide mobile home were involved in an accident that took place at approximately 4:15 p.m. Wednesday afternoon in the Braeholm area on Route 16, Buffalo Creek Road.
Logan County Sheriff's Department Deputy M.B. Carter responded to the crash scene and found a 2011 Hyundai Sonata, driven by Ruth Caserta, of Accoville, had been traveling East on Route 16 at Braeholm and was attempting to turn left into her driveway.
A 2007 Kenworth tractor trailer, driven by Ralph Bowen, of Amherstdale, had been traveling West on Route 16 when Ms. Caserta turned into his lane of travel.
Mr. Bowen was driving toward the right of the roadway in an effort to avoid Ms. Caserta when she ran into his tractor trailer. The tractor trailer then hit a 2011 Cheverolet Silverado, which was parked on the roadway edge.
When Ms. Caserta hit Mr. Bowen, it caused her vehicle to strike a 2008 Jeep Wrangler, which was driven by Elizabeth Jeffrey, of Accoville, who had been traveling east on Route 16 behind Ms. Caserta.
The tractor trailer continued to travel off the roadway dragging the parked Silverdo with it. Both vehicles ran into a doublewide mobile home owned by Randy Caserta.
Traffic was backed up in both directions of the two-lane road until the accident could be cleared.
No injuries were reported from anyone in the mobile home. All three drivers were taken to Logan Regional Medical Center for treatment. No information is available on their condition.

Sorry Feminists—NOT!
A good internet meme may last but a day, but the concerns it addresses are often perennial. So it was with the Twitter hashtag #sorryfeminists, which was born, matured, and perished within the span of a workday, as chronicled at the Atlantic Wire. But while the meme got boring fast, the problem it addressed remains. Why do stereotypes of feminists as anti-fun, unsexy, and humorless persist? Generation after generation, going all the way back to the suffragists, feminists have tried to crush these tropes by proving their "pants on fire" status. Every time we believe we've suffocated the stereotype with miniskirted beauties with pro-choice signage and Emmy-laden feminist comedians, someone pulls the "feminists are so grim" card to score an easy point, and we're reminded that we'll never really be rid of this cheap but disturbingly effective attack.
The latest kerfuffle began when the editor of T Magazine, Deborah Needleman, lived up to her surname by tweeting, "The sexy (sorry, feminists), smart, sassy Katie Roiphe live on stage @nypl on Wednesday night." No matter how you looked at it, the joke didn't really make sense. If she was being directly insulting to feminists, it missed the mark, because Roiphe's feminist critics don't have an opinion on her sexiness one way or another. If she was ironically mocking the negative stereotype of feminists, the joke also falls flat, because it's being applied to a woman who got famous for rejecting feminism. Either way, not a high crime; anyone who has watched Saturday Night Live after the "Weekend Update" segment knows that even professional funny people frequently miss the mark.
No matter the intent behind the joke, online feminists seized it as an opportunity to make fun of these baseless stereotypes with a bit of reductio ad absurdum-type humor by starting the #sorryfeminists hashtag on Twitter. Feminists faux-apologized for everything from thinking babies are cute to being happy with good hair days. The point, simply put, was to tell people promoting anti-feminist stereotypes, "This is how silly you sound."
Not that any participants expect this action to work. Negative stereotypes of feminists have so far proven impervious to reason, humor, excessive amounts of counterevidence, and even paradox. It is not uncommon for anti-feminists to accuse feminists in one breath of being humorless prudes, and then turn around and denounce them for being frivolous sluts. Sometimes, you even get treated to being told feminists are man-hating lesbians who demand gallons of contraception to deal with their overexposure to penis.
Anti-feminists wield these stereotypes because they work, and not just on people who are already convinced they hate feminism. These images, for instance, have done a great deal to scare women away from labeling themselves as feminists, or to even organize for women's rights, all because they fear being painted as harridans (or sluts, depending on what's more useful in the moment).
And when you get to the heart of it, these anti-feminist tropes resonate because they draw on misogynist myths applied to women as a whole. Two of the ugliest feminist stereotype synecdoches are the "women just aren't funny" line, and the belief that women merely tolerate sex as a means to get the wedding rings and fancy strollers that they really want. These nasty views of women are amplified when applied to feminists. Where women are characterized as unfunny, feminists are characterized as overtly anti-humor. Where women are characterized as uninterested in sex, feminists are framed as actively hating it.
To add injury to insult, if a woman rejects the view of her gender as humorless and sexless, she often faces serious social consequences. Funny women are often viewed as ball-busting, bitchy, and unable to get romantic attention from men. (Indeed, Christopher Hitchens stated in his infamous essay denying that women are funny that the exceptions to the rule were invariably just such women.) Needless to say, women who display enthusiasm for sex in and of itself, and not just as a means to get romance, get slurred with one of the nastiest words in the English language: slut. Unsurprisingly, feminists get a more intense form of abuse for these inverted stereotypes. Sandra Fluke learned this lesson the hard way when her mild and completely impersonal support for insurance coverage of birth control was used by anti-feminists as an excuse to paint her as the Whore of Babylon.
If you're starting to suspect that the system is built so that women lose no matter what they do, watch out. Thoughts like that may be rational responses to the world how it actually is, but they also lead one down the dark path towards admitting that you are, in fact, a feminist. Once you go there, it means a lifetime of having to explain, over and over again, that your fondness for humor doesn't preclude wanting an end to misogyny and nor does your avid support for reproductive rights mean that you've started to believe that sex is gross and degrading.

Just couldn't wait to read through this horribly humorless boring article so you could get to the bottom and complain about feminists, huh?
You know, there are other articles on this web site that aren't funny either. You don't seem to be complaining about that in the comment sections of the other articles. I wonder why that is? It's almost like you were trying hard to find a reason to complain about something that you already hate, but don't even know why. It must suck to be that thoroughly programmed... at least Pavlov's dogs got treats out of it. In your case, you hear the word feminists and begin ravening.

Damned no matter what we do? Disagree. With Obamacare we have the right to prevent unwanted pregnancy, which is great, but what about the women who want to have kids? None of the feminists are speaking up about that right. For the first time in my life I have to buy private insurance and cannot get maternity coverage without handing over 50 percent of my monthly paycheck. Never mind that I have payed into the insurance system for thirty years with nothing more than checkups here and there. If feminists want to be viewed differently they should fight for every woman, not just their own agenda of carefree lifestyle. And don't get me wrong...I've been on birth control, but there is another side to the coin of women's right's.

Um... you do realize that this will become illegal in 2014, under Obamacare, right? And that that was one of the big benefits touted by Obamacare supporters? (No discrimination on the basis gender, or risk.) And that feminists were indeed on the forefront of that battle?
No offense, but before getting really mad that you didn't get any benefits out of the health care laws, you should, you know, maybe look to see whether you got any benefits out of it?

A synecdoche is a rhetorical figure in which part of something is used figuratively to refer to the whole, as in "Washington" to refer to the U.S. government. How are women's not being funny and their tolerating sex synecdoches? Please explain or refrain from using pretentious language! Thanks. :)

There is a nugget of truth to each of the comments to this article. It's a complex thing, feminism and its responses. Even the word, feminism, I don't think means the same thing to everyone. Personally, I became disenchanted after realizing that feminism seems to consider a stay-at-home mother "unemployed", boring, not meeting her potential, or anything but her choice of career.
Would those who think feminism is NOT humorless, please give an example?

As the handle suggests, I'm in my late 20s and live and grew up in the liberal bastion that is Washington DC (to provide some context). Forgetting for a moment the gender gap existent in the highest elected posts and on executive boards (however, I realize this is the point), the age I've grown up in has seen a rise in the marginalization of men- commercials on television consistently position my gender's default setting to be that of a dolt. Men too, see Magic Mike, and all the shirtless beasts on MTV reality television, are objectified quite a lot. Furthermore, displays of masculinity are often seen as necessarily base and reprehensible. This really reflects a huge potential problem in our society, and I'm no sociologist, but it seems we've raised women only to lower men. Isn't that missing the point? True equality means just that, we cannot lift one side only to lower the other, or at the very least, if we all can treat each other like crap, at least that would be being consistent. And, I think that's the real issue here, feminism, in its many forms is often aggressively on the defensive as soon as a question is asked, be it an honest one, or an idiotic one. And with men too on the defensive as we are more-and-more looked at as necessarily primitive, conflict will continue to rise. I don't know what it's like in other parts of the country, or really what it's like to grow up in a household other than the one I did- one with a strong women- so, my world may be a bit myopic as far as the true plight of women and equality. But, I'm worried, since now-a-days, when I try to meet women, I'm supposed to be masculine, but only up to a certain point, nothing more, as well as readily feminine, also only up to a certain point, also nothing more- or I'm deemed unacceptable. I'm exaggerating, but this is not far off from the confusion I'm beginning to read about. To round this out, if we're all in this together, then let's be in it together, and not at odds with one-another.

This is the usual wall of text that any article on feminism calls out of the woodwork. It's obvious from the most casual glance at our society that there isn't even the beginnings of equality between genders, and also that any attempt to work towards equality, as it always has been in the past, will be met with the cry that women are already equal, and that men are being made inferior, and blah blah blah. To be honest, this argument deserves no refutation; it's been refuted so many times, so thoroughly, that no one who truly wanted to engage in a real discussion could use it honestly, because thirty seconds with google would serve to demolish it. Instead, it is simply used as a rhetorical device, to sow confusion and create sympathy among those who, well, aren't willing to spend thirty seconds with google.
But I do want to point out one part of your post that I do think deserves note. You say you feel like you're supposed to 'act masculine' and 'act feminine', as if these were even meaningful concepts. Hint: they're not, and the fact that you feel that they are means that you're part of the problem.
But I understand the issue that you're talking about, and it's a real one: up until 40 years ago or so, there was an obvious code of behavior that men were supposed to follow at all times, and as long as they followed that code of behavior they could never be faulted for what they did. It served as a near-perfect substitute for thinking about other people and communicating with them. And now there's much less of that, and you have to try to figure out what your potential partner expects of you by actually talking with her, and by spending actual time and will trying to understand her. In short, it is no longer possible to court someone while not actually paying any real attention to her. There are certainly people who find this a severe blow, but I think you'll find it's not quite as bad as you think it is.

Fri, 2012-11-23 11:23 janetcamp opined "[F]eminism seems to consider a stay-at-home mother "unemployed", boring, not meeting her potential, or anything but her choice of career." The poster also asked, "Would those who think feminism is NOT humorless, please give an example?"
My mother was a feminist and "stay-at-home mother" who deliberately chose the career she called "homemaker." She spent the better part of 30 years raising four children; loving her husband; caring for her brothers, parents, grandparents and other family members; fulfilling many responsibilities in our local community; and making the delicious meals for which she was rightfully renowned. She was proud of her profession and I never heard her criticized within our community--mostly feminist or sympathetic to feminism--for her choice.
My three sisters and I disagree in many of our social, political and economic views. But our mother's strong, consistent and loving example led us all to know that women and men--though delightfully different in many respects--are by right absolute equals in society, politics and the economy. That, of course, is the essence of feminism.
My mother also recognized that she was a creature of her upbringing--she was raised in a culturally conservative family and came of age in the early 1950's--and in that found plenty to laugh about. She was very flat-chested and I remember and still delight at her comment on bra burning: "I'd do it but who would notice?"
Like anybody, we feminists--I count myself at least a member of the men's auxiliary--are who we are and who we choose to be.

There are a few feminists who do criticize women for staying home with the kids. I do think it's somewhat warranted — there is almost never a discussion of which parent will take the child care duties, even in feminist households, which seems like sexism to me — but at the same time, the ones who are judgmental about it are a tiny minority. But there are enough of them to use to paint the entire feminist movement as 'bad people', if you have a big enough megaphone... and the entrenched power elite, by and large anti-feminist, certainly have that in spades.

Internet memes tend to be unfair. However, you really can't call it unfair that feminists get attacked from all angles. "Feminism" has been so eager to expand its base in the past 30 years that no complaint is too petty for inclusion. I offer just a few examples:
Guy goes out and gets job and the woman stays home = PATRIARCHY!
Guy has no job and woman makes the money = LAZY DEADBEAT!
Couple waits until marriage to have sex = Oh my God, how old fashioned!
Two people get drunk and have sex on first date = OMG DATE RAPE!!!!!
If feminism is dying it might be because it deserves to die. It's no longer an ideology, it's a justification for cranky women (and sometimes men) to take their frustration out on others. Feminism is no longer consistent about what it means anymore and too often feminists say things that are completely thoughtless. Sure, some unenlightened cretins have slandered feminists. But internal debates have fractured the movement as well.
I know this probably sounds terrible to a lot of people out there. But let's be constructive and honest. Women, as a group, still have a long way to go to achieve equality. There needs to be less biased academic jibberish and more evidence based political advocacy. In other words, it's time to grow up. How about equal pay? How about reigniting the ERA debate?
Give less crap and maybe you'll take less.
Sat, 2012-12-15 13:54
Whoa, that is some straw man you made there. Or straw feminist, as it were.
You say feminism has been eager to expand its base. Well of course. Feminism is wanting equality for all men and women, not just some. Because it it not possible for some people to be equal and not others. Men and women should all have the same rights, responsibilities and opportunities, and that can't be achieved unless what you call "the base" (as if it was some kind of political party or club) encompasses everybody. And if you don't want women to be equal to men, if you think I should have less opportunities than you, I will critizise you, of course.
I am amazed that you describe the complaint of date rape as something petty. But then of course, the definition of date rape that you offer is "couple having sex the first night". To say that feminists would consider that rape is ridiculous and I think you know that. If both parties are willing and eager, it's not rape whether it happens on the first date or the thirty-first.
Waiting until marriage is not really old fashioned, considering that in our grandparents generation 90% had had sex before marriage. Today, its 95%. So, pretty much the same numbers. People should have sex when they want to, and if they want to wait, fine. The problem feminists have with abstinence is most often with the ideology of virginity, that sex somehow makes women dirty, used or broken, or that a woman who wants sex is a whore. And that many women abstain because of these damaging myths, because they can't just embrace their sexuality for fear of being judged, and men are made to think they can somehow defile women with their penises.
Guy works and woman stays at home, yes that can be because of patriarchy. Guy stays home, woman makes the money, well, he's only a lazy deadbeat if that is what he is. You have a very uneducated and deliberately misinformed idea of what feminism is and it would do you some good to try and learn more.
Mon, 2013-02-04 14:44
> Guy goes out and gets job and the woman stays home = PATRIARCHY!
> Guy has no job and woman makes the money = LAZY DEADBEAT!
Even assuming you can find some feminist who would say these things (and I can find a man who would say all women are evil and deserve to die, I guess that means that you, as an anti-feminist, think that all women are evil and deserve to die?) I find it mind-boggling that you somehow think that these two things are self-contradictory. I mean... if I believed that men and women are meant to be partners, and share equally in the work, then wouldn't I think that having either partner stay home and do nothing (assuming you're talking about a couple with no kids, of course) would be a violation of that contract?
The other two, though, are even funnier:
> Couple waits until marriage to have sex = Oh my God, how old fashioned!
> Two people get drunk and have sex on first date = OMG DATE RAPE!!!!!
So, there are some sex-positive feminists who do think that waiting until marriage to have sex is old-fashioned. I guess that upsets you because... uh... you don't like people thinking that other people are old-fashioned? It must be terrible, being you and being upset all the time. You should have someone look at that ulcer.
And then there's the second one. So I guess the only alternative to waiting until marriage to have sex is getting drunk and having sex on the first date? And that somehow if you get black-out drunk and someone has sex with you that you wouldn't have wanted to have sex with you sober, that's just fine. (When really, morally, it's the same thing as, say, finding a woman who fainted in an alley and, instead of taking her to the hospital, having sex with her first.)
The fact that you think that this kind of insane ramblings is some kind of actual argument against feminism makes you a bad person, and you should feel bad for even thinking it, let alone spewing it on a wall here.

If feminism were merely about ending all legal and social privileges and bringing about social equality, it would be quite a bit more popular than it is now. I couldn't come up with fake strawman arguments more ridiculous than the theories drawn up by feminists commentators today. If you think there aren't feminists that do not agree that "date rape" includes situations in which people are BOTH drunk and have sex then it is you who has to brush up on research. Not only do feminists believe this, but it also is part of the law in many states. I believe it was Andrea Dworkin who called all heterosexual sex rape (which has served well as an Internet meme as well). It seems there was a time when time when the more absurd and shocking the claim, the more likely the claimant would be recognized as a leader. Nowadays, maybe this is waning, partly thanks to power of social media to call attention to such jackassery.
If feminism simply advocated for equal rights for all, well, it doesn't make the movement particularly unique. Lack of a unique cause is a serious problem for social movements. Once a point comes when no issue appears to be pressing enough for the movement to address, and the target group no longer seemed united about the problem, it is a good sign that the movement has reached diminishing returns. Feminism has nowhere to go.
Thu, 2013-02-07 10:28
I must disagree with you. I don't assume that all men who use stupid, misinformed ideas to promote their cause represent all men. Please don't do the same in regards to feminism, it's a trap. Feminism is easily derided because of overly simplistic ideas that feminists just want to be men. Nothing could be further from the truth. The reality is that despite well-intended efforts, women are not treated with parity everywhere. This is a cultural phenomenon, not one promoted by feminists. Women and men do this, it is not as simple as an idea that men are persecuting women. Our culture places men's opinions and points of view above women's because of the traditional expectations of male dominance. It is THIS idea which is in constant need of vigilance on the part of every person in society who believes in parity for both sexes. Feminism has not reached diminishing returns, quite the contrary. The problem is that in the last few decades we have had such a cultural schism in this country over conservative versus progressive values, that the ideas of feminism have gotten blurred with political performance. My favorite example is Sarah Palin. If it weren't for feminism, she could never have run for public office, and yet, she is the one of the most vitriolic public women against the "idea" of feminism. I believe that the backlash against feminism is really about the idea that women don't have to, or shouldn't have to participate in other people's (other women included) idea that women "should" be: docile, sexually attractive, fertile, compliant, deferential, and attentive. Women have inherent value as people, not only as the fulfillment of someone's ideal. Feminism is about promoting THAT idea- anything else is marketing.

The problem with Feminism is that it isn't really about supporting and defending strong, accomplished, intelligent women. It's about politics. You better be on the right team or you're toast. The pic of Tina Fey is absolutely too good to be true as an example of someone who trashes her "sisters" on the wrong side of the political tracks.

Heh. I see. So feminism is all about supporting all women, even those who are explicitly anti-feminist and supportive of the most destructive strains of rabid conservatism. All right-thinking feminists must support people like Sarah Palin, who explicitly believes that most of the tenants of feminism are wrong and would do her best to tear down many of the gains made in the last 50 years of feminism if she were brought to any real position of power.
Feminism is about empowering those who will empower women, and fighting those who would disempower women. If you think of it as a support group for women, then you diminish it to automatic irrelevance and ridiculous inconsistency.

I taught a women's studies course as a volunteer when I worked as an administrator in a large university. My definition of feminism to my students was simple, and achieved by asking a few questions:
1. Do you believe that women should be allowed to have equal rights to voting and public representation?
2. Do you think that women should be included in decisions that affect their lives and those of their family members?
3. Do you think that women should have something to say about what happens to their bodies?
4. Do you believe that women are capable of equal work?
5. Do you believe that a woman should earn the same amount of money for doing an equal job to a man?
6. Do you believe that women should be governed in the same manner as men?
7. Do you believe that women should have the right to be educated?
8. Do you believe women should have the right to own property?
9. Do you think sexual assault is a crime?
10. Do you think any violence against women should be criminal?
If you said yes to any of these, then you have feminist beliefs. Feminism is the radical notion that women are people, and that we are entitled to the same protections of personhood traditionally associated with men... and these days... corporations.

Because of articles like this. This is obviously a gag, a joke not to be take seriously. But it is sliced and analyzed in hundreds of feminist blogs, articles and white papers. That is taking something too seriously. Because feminism is not about equality. If a comic makes a joke, just a joke about genital mutilation of women (I agree poor taste but bear with me) he/she will be damn to the most low of society by any dutiful feminist with a soap box to preach from. And maybe that is best. But... When a woman cuts a mans penis off not as a joke but in real life because he wanted a divorce, how many feminist said a peep? How many damned her for actually mutilating this mans genitals for being honest? Not one! Instead, jokes were made. The show the View with several prominent feminists joked about it on TV. "That will teach him".
Do they speak for all feminists? No they do not. But how many denounced their show that day? Not one.
Feminists want equal pay, But men largely lead in work place deaths. That is a statistic feminists never tell you. Why is that? Because men are still taking the dangerous jobs by far. How many women want to work on a oil rig in the middle of the ocean or in a coal mine? Should a secretary(The number 1 job chosen by women at this time) make as much as a coal miner who risks his life daily? Or a cop? A fireman?
I am all for equality. But most of the Feminists I read and see are not honest about at least half of what they say. Then if you make a comment is "Well have you been raped?" or "You are a man you do not understand" or "You dirty republican (of which I am not lol)". The feminists have attached their movement to a political party. So off the bat they opposed 50% of the nation. This is more apparent around elections. Sarah Palin (not who I would vote for) was more successful then most women will ever be, yet she is hated by feminists. Not disagreed with, hated! They attacks on her were vicious. I do not care for Palin, but I watched wondering why this was. Because feminism is not about equality and choice. Its about politics, money, power and control.
Young men learn quick feminists find any joke about women offensive, but laugh at jokes making men look ignorant. They learn they are often angry saying things like "deny your husband sex because it gives a man pleasure", or "all sex is rape in this male dominated society". I know NAFALT (Not all feminists are like that). But unlike other movements that all have a fringe movement with in, These public speakers are never denounced. Quite often they are granted talking spots at conferences, Study halls, book deals.
One only has to look at a few events where a woman wrongs a man and hear the dead silence from the feminists, then look at how serious a joke is taken to get the picture. You can't hide behind NAFALT and never denounce the fringe and still want to be taken seriously.
I want equality for women. I do. I have 2 daughters that mean the world to me. I want them to have every opportunity available to them. My oldest is sharp as a razors edge, I want her to be able to make good use of this gift at a fair pay when the time comes. She is 11 and on her own studying chemistry, biology, modern technology. I believe in true equity. That is not what the feminist movement wants as a whole.
The feminist movement wants everyone to agree with every point they have even when they conflict. They will not let you agree on this but not that, because the moment you disagree for are branded a sexist, woman hater, rapist, etc etc etc.
Why are they not sexy or funny? Because talking to a feminist is at many times like walking a tight rope. You never know what might set them off. What their mood is. Many choose to avoid it all together.

Younger women, in particular women of color, choose to distance themselves from the word and the identification, because it is exclusionary. The first wave feminism that you are so nostalgic for is also the most white and privileged brand. This brand of feminism does not embrace the experiences of women of color. Rather, it calls for women of color to join their fight for equality -- the privileged white woman fight for equality. That would be all well and good if they were fighting the same fight, but they are not. And, until feminists acknowledge that there are other women fighting the fight for equality on multiple fronts (read: gender, race and poverty), then you will continue to see young women, like myself, distance themselves from the name.

The mistake that is being made here is this idea that feminism is some kind of monolithic movement AND IT IS NOT. Feminists don't all agree on the same thing nor should they have to waste time disavowing stuff from the fringe. Do you see the NAACP or the Anti-Defamation League doing it? Just as civil rights groups are not one giant monolithic movement where everyone agrees, so to with feminism. The problem is, when you disavow feminism because of the lunatic fringe (who really do NOT have the power to drive the agenda, but make very effective straw men), you also disempower the ability of feminists to make sure that your daughters can get paid fairly for jobs that challenge them, rather than be relegated to secretarial work. You also disempower feminists of color from bringing race, class and sexuality issues to the table, as they need to be.
(And BTW, the reason why most women opt for secretarial work is not that we WANT secretarial careers but that other options are still closed to us and discrimination is still rife in the job market. Furthermore, equal pay is still aways off. I had the distinct pleasure of earning $2 an hour LESS than the men I was supervising and I was doing twice as much as they were because I still had to do the same job as they were, in addition to supervising. When I brought up this unfairness to management, I was out of a job in less than a month. This story is beyond typical. It's par for the course.)

Interface to the AFDX avionics data bus
- Connects a modular dSPACE real-time system to an AFDX network
- For hardware-in-the-loop simulation and rapid control prototyping
- Supports major avionic network protocols
- Real-Time Interface Blockset based on Simulink S-functions
Application Areas
The AFDX interface (AFDX® is a registered trademark of AIRBUS) connects a modular dSPACE real-time system to an AFDX network. Its application areas are hardware-in-the-loop simulation and rapid control prototyping in avionic projects, which are increasingly being used for testing and developing airplanes. The DS4504 PMC Carrier Board is equipped with an AIM AMC-FDX-2 PCM module. It works as an AFDX end system connecting the modular dSPACE system to an AFDX network.
Key Benefits
The AFDX Solution enables you to interface your AFDX network directly to the real-time application running on the dSPACE processor board. It supports the DS1005 PPC Board or DS1006 Processor Board and is also multiprocessor-capable. An exact start time can be defined for IRIG (Inter-Range Instrumentation Group) timestamps of sent messages, or the embedded clock's time can be taken from the DS4504's ETX.
Hardware and Software
The dSPACE AFDX Solution is based on the DS4504 PMC Carrier Board, which acts as a carrier for an ETX (Embedded Technology eXtended) module and a PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC).
