    Jacob Zuma also claimed that he didn't catch HIV from a woman because he showered afterwards.

    I'm just wondering, wasn't Going Rogue heavily discounted in bookstores? So even if they are making money of it, it's not that much. right?

    At least I find that a bit comforting.

    @envirodesigner: I have no idea, I've never actually seen a bookstore that had it. Or if they do they're keeping it out of sight.

    @envirodesigner: Briefly. Walmart had it for $9 and Amazon matched that price for a good week.

    The book is around $14 now but is still #1 on Amazon's bestseller list. This gives me agita...

    Hooray DC! One more vote and then it's off to the mayor for signature.

    Passed by a vote of 11-2. Should be noted that Marion Barry was a dissenting vote. I will be so happy to see that man disappear from public life.

    Now Archdiocese-- don't be assholes and withdraw your social services. The people still need the support you provide.

    @curiousgeorgiana: YAY! You know, I would love to see a Jezebel article discussing race relations and gay marriage. I say this because the two dissenting votes here in D.C. were cast by representatives from minority areas (7 and 8) who said that they were pushed by ministers and their constituents to vote against it.

    I believe there was some talk about it when Prop 8 passed but I don't remember whether there was a real discussion about it. Correct me if I am wrong.

    @tobesthewonderdog: His statement directed at gay and lesbian residents of DC:

    "It's not fair to make this one issue a litmus test as to one's commitment to human rights, to justice, and I resent those who would make it a litmus test."

    In reply to 1 In 4 South African Men Admit To Rape
    I highly suggest people read the BBC link, there is a lot of interesting info there.


    - 1 in 10 men admitted to being raped by another men, but only 3% of men admitted to raping another man.
    - 73% of those who admitted to rape had committed their first assault before age 20, 5% admitted to raping someone in the last year.

    How do I feel about this? Well, for starters this research was released here in South Africa without a blip. I remember when Charlize Theron did an anti rape campaign a few years back- Couldn't get the men to shut up then. Seems rape is a " women's problem".

    To clarify, I find it depressing that the only time that South African men appeared to voice any sort of opinion on rape and rape culture is when they felt Theron had "insulted their manhood"

    @Whiskey and Popcorn: Not at all the point of your comment, but as somebody else pointed out once upon a time "it's not a women's problem, it's half the worlds population problem"*


    *If you believe that it's a women's problem, which I don't

    "Against Zulu culture for a man to leave a sexually aroused woman unsatisfied"...I guess that's against a lot of other cultures, too.

    @thesciencegirl: I wonder this all the time. If 1 in 4 women in this country is a victim of sexual assault, how many men are guilty of COMMITTING sexual assault? I know there are repeat offenders, but still, the number's gotta be up there.

    "the woman had dressed provocatively, in a traditional wrap-around kanga, and that it was against Zulu culture for a man to leave a sexually aroused woman unsatisfied"


    I'm pretty sure she was more satisfied before you assaulted her, motherfucker.

    Excuse me while I pick my jaw up from the floor.


    This statistic really makes me want to cry, even though I imagine it's much worse than purported. I wonder what a similar survey here would say? Right. Most rapists probably wouldn't admit to it, even if it was anonymously.
