The only accomplishment I can see is MormonThink losing the pretense of objectivity, which is a shame because they certainly are fairer than anyone else out there. This. Exactly. The descent into the mud pit is just more of the mundane "Mormons are just weirder than us" business that's al...

The Scotti...

The takeaway message seems to be "Listen up girls, you may think you have to hang your meat out in order to be chased by ravenous dogs, but it turns out you can be objectified beyond your wildest dreams just by dressing 'modestly'!" I was thinking about that too. I'll bet, though, that th...

One of the best posts I've read on this site angsty! It is mind-blowing that Peterson doesn't already know all of this. It seems that with his FARMS project at BYU falling by the wayside he has reached a point where he doesn't care about the way he is perceived any more. I guess finally we are seei...

I tell you what. This man has certainly mastered the victim routine. For those not familiar with Victimology 101 it goes something like this: 1) Find a hornets nest. 2) Poke the nest with a stick. 3) Receive multiple stings. 4) Complain loudly about being stung by the unreasonable hornets. 5) Find ...

... represent 1% of the American population, but commit 27% of America’s murders. A statistic like this, if true, deserves a venue for discussion. Dr. Peterson makes no pretense about being politically correct, so why should he not mention it? You bring up a really good point. Of course it does des...
