Men really are idiotic a-holes sometimes...

U.N. Women and Promundo conducted a study on sexual harassment, as they asked 4,830 men in the countries of Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, and Palestine if they had ever sexually harassed women in public with anything from "ogling" to "groping" and "rape." Embarrassingly, the numbers ranged from 31% (in Lebanon) to 64% (in Egypt). If that wasn't bad enough, up to 90% of the men surveyed (in Egypt) said they harassed these women because they thought it was fun.

Sadly, those weren't even the most eye-popping numbers in the survey. In all four countries, a greater number of men than women said the women liked the harassment due to the attention they received from it. In Morocco, 71% of men felt this way.

I'm sorry, but men really are idiots sometimes. There is a stark difference between flirting and harassing, between complimenting and obsessing, between making a woman feel flattered and making her feel violated. According to the men in this survey, they see nothing wrong with the following conversation:

Man: "Hey baby, I saw you slide into that seat with ease. How about I slide into you?"

Woman: "Excuse me?!?"

Man: "Hey, I know how girls like you like it. How about you and me go to my trailer and get it on like Donkey Kong?"

Woman: "Not in a million years, buddy!"

Man: "We won't be alive then, so how about right now?"

Woman: "Get your hand off me!"

Man: "You're so hot, Death Valley is jealous! Let's make you hotter! I just FeBrezed the whole trailer right after I took a massive crap. Taco Bell always does that to me. Anyway, so it's smelling nice in there now. What do you say?"

Woman: "I've got a gun in my purse just to warn you..."

Man: "I've got a gun in my pants, ready to go off just from looking at you."

Woman: "You're sick!"

Man: "You know you like it! You're just playing hard-to-get. Speaking of hard..."

Woman: "Those rocks in your head?"

Man: "No, my junk, who I call the Incredible Hulk. He's big, mean, and green."

Woman: "You might want to get that checked out..."

Man: "Yeah, by you. Come on, be my doctor, give me a hernia check."

Woman: "I'm warning you, if you say or do one more thing, I'm going to kick your ass!"

Man: "Kick it, baby. That's how we'll start. Kick it hard!"

Woman: "Last chance... Shut up or..."

Man: "Or..."

Woman goes Wonder Woman on his ass

Man: "Hey, what was that for? Where are you going? I thought you liked it!"

Yup, men really are idiotic a-holes sometimes... I'm sorry about that, ladies, but I can promise you we're not all like that, just more than I'd care to admit.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i

The verdict is in. To no one's surprise, Jonathan Hoenig has been found guilty of being an idiot.

Just recently, when discussing the Michael Brown shooting and whether or not race had anything to do with it, Fox News contributor Jonathan Hoenig said, "You know who talks about race? Racists." One moment while I provide Mr. Hoenig with the well deserved slow-clap. :: slow-claps for two seconds :: So, that was quite the line by Mr. Hoenig, wasn't it? "You know who talks about race? Racists." Well, wasn't he just talking about race? So, by his own words, I guess that makes him a racist. Also, if he wants to be consistent, does this mean that people whom talk about gender are sexists and people whom talk about sexual orientation are homophobes? With that line of thinking, Hoenig would engage in the following back-and-forths: Hoenig: "So, who are you voting for?" A woman: "The Democratic candidate, because he's been adamant about his support for equal rights for women." Hoenig: "You sexist feminist nazi!"
