How about when you cram your brain up your rear?

Shakespeare's Sister made my day, with her post, "Felch You," about Charlotte/Mecklenburg, North Carolina County Commissioner Bill James' giant rhetorical fallacies and his obsession with exotic aspects of gay male sex. As Shakespeare's Sister points out, James' so-called statistics have no meaning whatsoever:

"In one study, two homosexual researchers found that 73% of adult male homosexuals had had sex with boys age 19 or younger."

Somebody please inform Mr. James that once you reach 18, you’re not “a boy” anymore. And while you’re at it, let him know that any study of adult male hetersexuals having sex with “girls” age 19 or younger would probably produce similar results.

Here is some of James' diatribe:

A lifestyle where one of their past times is buying gerbils and hamsters from the pet store and cramming them up their rears in an activity called feltching? A group of people who like to urinate on their partners and call them "golden showers"? Where one of the honored members of the Gay Alliance is an organization called the "Man-Boy Love Association" that promotes sex with underage boys?
That behavior is worthy of protection?


My response to you, Mr. James, is this, and my grammar and spelling are correct: A lifestyle in which one of the pasttimes is giving adolescent females great quantities of alcohol and then raping them? A group of people who have sex with their little daughters and step-daughters when the house is dark and quiet and the little girls are in bed? A group of people who break into women's houses and rape them, beat them, and sometimes kill them? A group of people who patronize restaurants because the wait staff are outfitted to provide male sexual pleasure? A group of people who think it is acceptable to sexually taunt and abuse their female peers in the workplace? A group of which one of the honored members is the U.S. military, whose members sexually abuse their female peers and then threaten them if they reveal what happened?

That behavior is worthy of protection?
