Russell Brand: ‘My behaviour was normal in the diabolical culture’
We are all guilty, society made me do it.
Yes, yes, of course we did
Muslims learned homophobia from the British Empire, a leading historian has claimed.
Diarmaid MacCulloch, emeritus professor at Oxford University, said a “horror of same-sex relationships” did not exist in Islamic culture before the 19th century.
It was only when the empire expanded across the Muslim world, he claimed, that Islam “absorbed” homophobia from British colonial armies.
Even the idea that there’s “a” Muslim attitude is ahistorical. Different cultures have different attitides. Bacha bazi among the Pathans would be – is – regarded with horror by the equally Muslim, say, Iranians.
This before we get to the idiocy of we did it to them.
Difficult to imagine really
A toddler was suspended from nursery after being accused of being transphobic or homophobic, The Telegraph can reveal.
Department for Education (DfE) data show the child, aged either three or four, was suspended from a state school in the 2022-23 academic year for “abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity”.
The school and further details of the case were not disclosed.
But statistics show that 94 pupils at state primary schools were suspended or permanently excluded for transphobia and homophobia in 2022-23.
Sure kids know the difference between Mummy and Daddy, between men and women. But they’ve no damn idea about sex or trans at that age.
Of course, to admit that would mean there’s also no such thing as a trans child which is why it’s not being admitted.
This is fun
Elena Maraga, 29, was suspended from her job near Treviso, in northern Italy, on Thursday after it emerged that she was selling risqué photos and videos of herself on the subscription-based platform, which heavily features adult content.
The case emerged after the parent of a child at the school recognised Ms Maraga on OnlyFans and informed other parents through a WhatsApp group chat and Facebook.
So, err, which bit of Ms Maraga was it that was recognised?
And the next conversation is going to be interesting. So, err, why were you browsing OnlyFans, Honey?
It’s amazin’ what’s homophobic these days
Dog walkers have been branded “homophobes” for trying to stop gay men cruising on Hampstead Heath.
The popular walking spot has been at the centre of a row after residents put up signs to deter gay men hooking up for sex at “the f— tree” and other locations that could be near playing children.
Hampstead Heath has been a popular cruising spot since Victorian times, and the practice has continued since homosexuality was decriminalised in 1967.
The posters read: “Cruising for sex? Homosexuality is legal. Use a hook-up app like Grindr or Sniffies and get a room.”
They also feature a map of the park with a red circle labelled: “This is not a cruising ground.”
Complaints about frightening the horses are homophobia now. Mrs. Patrick would be amused.
Oh, delightful
Or, you know, not perhaps, and yet. A big Only Fans star, making a fortune (a McClaren when only 21 is a fortune). And:
He’s had guys who message him through OnlyFans every day for over two years, guys who tell him they’ve just put their kids to bed, that their wives are in the other room. Sometimes he feels bad for them; knows they’re probably lonely and sad. But that’s the game, right?
CJ gets it, because he does the same thing—the vast majority of his own social interaction is mediated through the internet too. He’s only had one serious girlfriend, and that was long distance. He told me he’s not good at talking to strangers face-to-face. He’s not used to doing it that way. Instead, CJ subscribes to other OnlyFans creators, and sometimes messages with them, even though he knows he’s probably not messaging the actual person.
“I know in the back of my head that I’m talking to some middle-aged man” at a subcontracted agency, CJ told me. But he’s okay with buying into the fantasy. Yes, when he messages these people it’s more for companionship than sex—but in that way, CJ told me, “it’s still porn.”
50’s pulp short story. Bloke has a job running a “girlfriend experience” or summat. Guys come in, take a pill, interact with a computing/robotic thing, think they’ve been to see their girlfriend. Can’t recall why it’s set up that way. Population worries? Dunno.
So, he knows it’s all a scam because he runs the place. But he’s diffierent of course. His girlfriend is real. In another city, obviously. So, he goes over to see her, gets to where she works, thinks, well, why not take one of the pills…..
Cary’s right, it’s not panic
Even if the underlying bigotry were true, which of course it isn’t, this wasn’t a crime committed in the heat of the moment over an unwanted advance. A man received oral sex from a trans girl he wasn’t sure was trans, was embarrassed about it later, and conspired with his friends to get revenge. That’s not a panic.
Again and again the gay/trans panic has been used to excuse violent men – and it’s usually men – who’ve committed terrible acts of violence against LGBTQ+ people. And that’s exactly what’s happening around this horrific attack.
It is a useful reminder that actions have consequences. A possible reaction of a heterosexual finding out that their recent sexual partner is trans is violence. It is not necessary to condone the violence – which, of course, I do not – to still point out that, given humans, this is a possible reaction. So, you know, make matters clear in advance?
It’s also sexual assault by deception so there is that. Like the bird prosecuted for pretending with a dildo with her clearly not very bright female partner.
That’s not coercion, Honey
In one account, he allegedly had sex with a 21-year-old in a hotel room who had contacted him for help with her university fees, giving her a $750 cheque for “tuition reimbursement”.
The woman told the committee that their encounter “could potentially be a form of coercion because I really needed the money”.
That could be you being a whore – even if only part time – but it’s not coercion.
Amazin’
The term demisexuality was coined in 2006 and is on the spectrum of asexuality: sexual attraction only comes after an emotional connection has been built.
Wasn’t all that long ago that this was considered normal for female sexuality. Not unusual in male either.
Now, of course, that was also pushing a bit too much the control who women are bonking way too. Plenty of women have indeed been happy with going with the glint in the eye rather than only bonking special folk.
Not fancying anyone at first sight is further along the spectrum than me. But not wanting to have sex without an emotional connection? Surely that’s everyone over the age of 25.
Sure there’s a spectrum. But not being willing to share bodily fluids with every passing rando is not all that unusual a stance.
Oh aye?
The videos Matt Gaetz is alleged to have shown colleagues were not the sort of thing usually associated with the staid halls of the US Congress.
One video allegedly shown by the Florida congressman featured a young woman hula-hooping. Other images are alleged to have shown women he claimed to have slept with.
At other times, Mr Gaetz was accused of boasting of his sexual escapades.
Markwayne Mullin, a fellow Republican and senator for Oklahoma, said last year: “We all saw videos he was showing on the House floor, that all of us had walked away, of girls that he had slept with.
Gosh, why hasn’t anyone investigated this?
Last year, the DOJ told Mr Gaetz it was ending the investigation without charging him with any crimes.
In 2021, the House Ethics Committee opened its own investigation into some of the same allegations, as well as accusations Mr Gaetz had misused state identification records, converted campaign funds to personal use, wrongly accepted gifts, and shared inappropriate images or videos.
He again denied any wrongdoing and said he was the victim of a smear.
The committee later dropped some strings of the investigation, including on sharing of videos,
Oh, it has been. Gosh.
Erm?
What Brighton tells us about Britain’s tumbling birth rate
Stick all hte gays, trannies and Greens in hte same place and no one has kids?
Having Caroline Lucas as your MP stops you fucking?
What? What could be the reason?
And now a difficult question
Child sexual abuse imagery generated by artificial intelligence tools is becoming more prevalent on the open web and reaching a “tipping point”, according to a safety watchdog.
The Internet Watch Foundation said the amount of AI-made illegal content it had seen online over the past six months had already exceeded the total for the previous year.
The organisation, which runs a UK hotline but also has a global remit, said almost all the content was found on publicly available areas of the internet and not on the dark web, which must be accessed by specialised browsers.
The IWF’s interim chief executive, Derek Ray-Hill, said the level of sophistication in the images indicated that the AI tools used had been trained on images and videos of real victims. “Recent months show that this problem is not going away and is in fact getting worse,” he said.
So?
We know that child sexual abuse is bad. We’re really very sure indeed that imagery of child sexual abuse is also bad. For it contains evidence of child sexual abuse.
On the other hand we’re also very sure that pornography of a thing is a substitute for that thing. No, not a complement, a substitute. More porn means less physical world of that thing.
So, what should we be doing about AI generated child porn? Subsidising it so as to get less child sex abuse?
Worth noting that what we should do and what politics will allow us to do are different things.
This is going to get a little wild
Combs, 54, has faced several allegations of sexual assault.
Last week, singer Dawn Richard filed a lawsuit accusing Combs of sexual assault, battery, sex trafficking, gender discrimination and fraud in the Southern District of New York. Combs denies the allegations.
The grand jury has indicted him, he’s arrested. But this civil suit. “Gender discrimination” is now a civil tort that you can be sued for as an individual? Really? Given the varied complaints about sex there I thought discrimination on the basis of gender was fairly normal?
Umm, no mate, no
Marlena Meczynska-Shiibashi, 38, waited until her boyfriend, 50, had fallen asleep and then poured bleach on his face.
As he was confused and fumbling for his clothes in the dark, she stabbed him in the groin, narrowly missing his penis.
The music teacher later said in court: “I wanted to harm his penis but because he moved I got his thigh instead.”
On Friday, she was sentenced to seven years in prison at Lewes Crown Court after she pleaded guilty to wounding her boyfriend with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
The court heard that the couple had been in an on-again off-again relationship since 2011.
On the day of the attack in April last year, Maczynska-Shiibashi had tried to initiate sex with her partner at her home in Hastings, East Sussex, but he refused, saying: “Please don’t.”
‘I realised it was bleach’
He then went to sleep but was woken when he felt liquid being poured onto his left cheek.He told the court: “My next recollection was some liquid being poured over the left side of my face. When I inhaled I realised it was bleach. It went into my nose and ear.
“I sat up straight away and that’s when she threw the remainder of the contents of the glass into my face.”
The victim said he tried to use his phone torch to find his clothing and managed to get his socks on when he was stabbed in the groin.
Blinded by the bleach, he described feeling warm liquid running down his leg.
Putting your socks on might not have been the appropriate reaction to some crazed bint trying to cut your willie off……
Our resident expert might wish to comment upon this
The first is the age-old assumption that women who take payment for sex – who are overwhelmingly coerced or trafficked into this rotten “industry”
One of those assertions that simply isn’t true, isn’t it.
And women are being trafficked into the UK from countries such as Romania and effectively held as sex slaves to be raped by several men a day paying for the privilege.
Another of those assertions which is not even congruent with reality.
FFS, a real, proper, total and whole investigation was done into this. Operation Pentameter.
The UK’s biggest ever investigation of sex trafficking failed to find a single person who had forced anybody into prostitution in spite of hundreds of raids on sex workers in a six-month campaign by government departments, specialist agencies and every police force in the country.
It’s just not true.

a href=”https://www.theguardian.com/science/article/2024/aug/18/you-feel-a-bit-mass-produced-donor-conceived-people-on-the-export-of-uk-sperm”>Experts have warned that sperm donated in the UK is being exported and used to create large numbers of children across multiple countries, contradicting a strict 10-family limit that applies in the UK.A legal loophole means that while a single donor can be used to create no more than 10 families in UK fertility clinics, there are no restrictions on companies making sperm or eggs available for additional fertility treatments abroad.
Sperm is also imported into the country. Which must face the same problems.
The problem being that the limitations upon who may donate being so strict that there aren’t enough who meet them.
Gonna be interesting, no?
Sweden has registered Europe’s first case of the more dangerous variant of mpox which is spreading rapidly in Africa, after the WHO declared a global public health emergency.
“We have now […] had confirmation that we have one case in Sweden of the more grave type of mpox, the one called Clade 1,” Health and Social Affairs Minister Jakob Forssmed told a press conference on Thursday.
Sweden’s Public Health Agency said: “It is the first case caused by clade 1 to be diagnosed outside the African continent.”
Last time around with this one we had the more actively gay insisting that it was terrible that no one was taking it seriously. Then a few out here said look, if you stop shagging around quite so much then perhaps the outbreak will die down. At which point some of the more sensible actively gay said Guys, why don’t we stop shagging around quite so much for a few weeks? At which point the nascent epidemic did start to fade away. The non gay folk who’d said shag less were still vilified because homophobic bastards, the less shagging as a triumph of the gay community overcoming adversity.
It’s not specifically gay of course. Not the mechanics that is – it’s that there’s that portion of Teh Gayers who are, by the standards of the rest of society, virulently multipartnered, almost randomly orgiastic. Chacun a son gout of course but there are always costs to everything, just as there are benefits.
It’s going to be fun to see whether the spread this time works along the same lines. Well, for observers – this isn’t going to be fun for anyone who gets it.
One more thought on it – PrEP works great against spreading HIV. But the behaviour that allows does leave opportunities for other opportunistic infections, no?
Not wholly sure it’s worked out that way
Their eyes opened by the swinging 60s, and with women empowered by the pill,
When you’ve control of something in scarcity then you’ve power over those that want it. When there’s an abundance of supply then you, the supplier, is less empowered.
Obviously, it did mean that women got to have more sex and more fun. But not wholly sure that’s exactly the same as empowered.
There’s a certain difficulty here
Yamauchi said that the campaign is “exploitative, demeaning, sexist, regressive rubbish”. “Of course the intended audience is men,” she added. “Portraying women as sex objects will not encourage teenage girls into sport.”
Perhaps not. And perhaps the portrayal should be different and all that. And possibly even not “objects” and all that.
But it is true that teenage girls are considered sexy by humans. Which is that difficulty. Those changes at puberty are exactly what signal to other humans about sex. Sure, sure, we can run with all sorts of societal controls – not until 16, or 18, or until marriage, or she wants to or whatever. But the base thing really is that tits, hips n’hairy pudenda are sexy simply because that’s what signifies looming fertility in humans.
Which is that bit of a problem.
