Judging Jerk Judges
Okay, New Jersey is getting something right by getting these assholes off the bench. Judge James G. Troiano and Judge John F. Russo, Jr., both came under fire in the Garden State for their (mis)handling of cases involving sexual assault. Troiana refused to try a 16-year-old as an adult because the accused comes from a good family and had good test scores. That asshole's resignation was accepted. Russo asked a sexual assault victim what she did to defend herself, including whether she closed her legs. That asshole faces disciplinary action (and should be removed from the bench as well as disbarred). We cannot change the rising rates of sexual assault until the criminal justice system truly changes its own dangerous thinking. Good riddance.
Cringy Cosmo
Let's give a little credit to Cosmopolitan: their online version is a very good resource for sex, often featuring ideas and content for folks who don't fit into a cis-heteronormative life. That said, we cannot always forgive the sins of the past. For years, Cosmo was the go-to source of sex advice you can buy at the grocery store check-out. It would be great if sex were so commonplace and accepted that the locale were the best place to seek out sage sex suppositions. Rather, for years, Cosmo was the asshole who dished out some pretty ridiculous ideas and advice. Check out this rogue's gallery of sexual offerings from Cosmo.
Stay Away from Supplements
"Big Penis" is a big problem. Over-the-counter supplements have long been a tricky proposition. All too often, across various industries, we hear of extra ingredients included in these products to help produce a desired effect...even at the cost of undermining the health of the person taking the supplement. Now, those who are dealing with erectile dysfunction or feelings of penile inadequacy feel the pressure of not being able to perform to our society's cock standards. And this can lead folks to trying sex supplements to enhance their abilities. Yet, without knowing that your supplement contains sildenafil, the active ingredient of Viagra, which, by the way, can negatively interact with other medications, is a truly dangerous situation. And those making this product are true assholes for putting people in harm's way.
