17 Female-Centric Themed Documentaries That Everyone Should See

#1). THE HUNTING GROUND From the crew that made THE INVISIBLE WAR, comes a jarring exposé of rape crimes on various U.S. college campuses, institutional cover-ups, and the harrowing social toll on victims and their families. The film follows rape survivors as they endeavor to further their education while pursuing justice, facing brutal retaliation, harassment, and resistance every step of the way. #2). THE INVISIBLE WAR An unprecedented  investigative documentary about one of America's most shameful and best-kept secrets: the rape epidemic within the US military.

Understanding Charli XCX's "Famous" Music Video ***SPOILERS***

Charli XCX's "Famous" is track #9 off her album 'Sucker'.   (Maybe Beta Kitten programming *is* real...).  The lyrics at first sound like any other contemporary sexpot-as-pop-star whining about   alcohol over-consumption yet making it sound absolutely glamorous.  So had I heard the song on the radio, I would have never taken the time to look-up the masterful art piece which is the music video for "Famous" as directed by Eric Wareheim.  Luckily I was exposed to the music video prior to the lyrics--albeit the lyrics themselves aren't too bad (once read)-- and my mind was effectively blown. Dark satire and a black mirror effectively drive extremely complicated social issues home and harken upon a time when music videos could actually, you know, mean something.  Most articles on the internet are not dissecting this music video the way it deserves.  Disappointed by the lack of examination or meaningful...

17 Sex Toys That Will Scare the Fuck Out of You ***NSFW***

Not all sex toys are created equal as it turns out and some kinks can't be explained away as mere fetish.  The following "toys" bear a more striking resemblance to perversion.  So before you let the next phallus past the holy steps of your labia, perhaps it requires you asking, "Hey pal, where you've been putting your penis lately?"      For as  Valerie Solanas madly cautioned in  The S.C.U.M. ( S ociety for C utting U p M en) Manifesto: "Eaten up with guilt, shame, fears and insecurities and obtaining, if he's lucky, a barely perceptible physical feeling, the male is, nonetheless, obsessed with screwing; he'll swim a river of snot, wade nostril-deep through a mile of vomit, if he thinks there'll be a friendly pussy awaiting him. He'll screw a woman he despises, any snaggle-toothed hag, and, further, pay for the opportunity. Why? Relieving physical tension isn't the answer, as masturbation suffices for that. It's ...

Emphysema (poem)

I was 33, when I lost my gumption I was 33, when I lost my nerve Almost 34, know nothin' 'bout free lunches Almost 34, and I know all 'bout free dinners And there ain't no prayer, and there ain't no gospel. I'm feelin' scared, the whole entire world seems so hostile. And there ain't no jewels, no celebrity press. Just a bunch of girls, walking around with no breasts on their chests. Life's a short walk to a hospice. Spend your whole life, looking for an accomplice. Then pause, look back_ _what did you accomplish? Did you get around to doin' dat thang? --Don't worry none, if you didn't. Something looks a lot like nothing, Naked emperors don't need no cloak, sometimes when you're alive, the only way to keep breathin' is to smoke. I don't fault you any, for the spaghetti in your lungs. I don't begrudge you, for all of those drugs. Sometimes, you just gotta feel_     _purple. Sometime, y...
