The Scarlet Manifesto

The author of this book was on the radio this morning.  Seems that women initiating adulterous affairs is on the rise.

Surprise.

I guess there's a lot of women trying to get in touch with their inner Carrie Bradshaw or Hester Prynne out there.

Or maybe it's like Baskin-Robbins - they want to try all 31 flavors (that may be a low number for some gals...)

And then there's the case of teen bombshell Courtney Stodden, married to the creepy old guy.  (OK, he's not really old - he's my age - but when you pair my age with a teenager - well, that is defined as creepy.)

(Note to guy: Wearing a condom on your head may make you feel hip, but it doesn't make you 30 years younger.  Just sayin'.)

Seems she has phone sex with her old high school boyfriend, even while her husband's in the room.  Double creepy.

Although, dude, don't you know anything?  Ya shoulda seen it coming.  They never really break it off with their high school lovers.

Lastly, today's news reveals that a Brazilian 20 year old has auctioned her virginity online for $780K (a male counterpart only got $3000 - where's the gender equality here?).  She say it's not prostitution if she only does it once (which sort of reminds me of the punch line to an old joke). Well, isn't that special?

Today's culture makes the folks of Sodom & Gomorrah look like pikers.  I think the statue in Rio de Janeiro is weeping.
