“Crush” Videos Have Nothing to do with Kindness nor Decency

Friday, May 7th, 2010

This is a relationship, love, and women’s issues site. We like to keep our readers abreast of how news affects our daily life.

I bring you this because we women, the sympathetic ones, are committing horrific acts of torture on puppies and kittens by impaling them with their high heels and video taping these cruelties, selling off the extended agony of innocent animals for profit (they die an exceedingly slow and viciously painful death). And get this—these videos are bought for sexual titillation.

I’m having a hard time keeping the vomit from coming out of my mouth as I write this. My goal is not to make all of you puke too, but to tell you so that we can ban together and stop this great injustice. There are more women living in America than men, so if we all act, we CAN end this.

Tell your best friends, your mother, your babysitter, your professors, your children’s teachers, the women you carpool with, the girls you eat lunch with, the shop girl at your favorite store that knows you by name. Tell everyone.  If President Obama can win an election via grassroots, then we can put an end to animal torture for sexual gratification and blood money.

Put up flyers. Write/email your governor, mayor, district attorney, write to January Jones, Mad Men actor and animal rights activist.

However, The Supreme Court will not act on this issue. The following comes from The Humane Society:

The U.S. Supreme Court recently overturned a federal anti-cruelty law banning the commercial sale of animal “crush” videos — where women in high-heeled shoes impale and torture small animals for the sexual titillation of viewers. Now, we urgently need Congress to pass a new bill (H.R. 5092) to stop these grotesque crush videos from resurfacing.

Please make a brief, polite call to Representative Niki Tsongas (202) 225-3411 . You can say: “As a constituent, I’m calling to ask you to co-sponsor H.R. 5092 to crack down on animal crush videos. Please do all you can to get this bill enacted quickly.” After you call, send a follow-up message. Thanks for all you do for animals.

The people who do this are equal to pedophiles and sex-traffickers. Which is why we need to make the Supreme Court act. There is little to no jail time for these gruesome crimes—perhaps a fine and a couple year’s probation at best. Know why? Because animals do not have rights. It wasn’t so long ago (1905) when United States President Grover Cleveland said “Sensible and responsible women do not want to vote.” 15 years later—FIFTEEN—we were granted that right. Let’s not wait 15 years to give animals rights.

Let’s not wait another minute.

I’m personally heartbroken. There’s a lot of suffering in this world, but if we gave even half the attention to this cause as people gave and are continuing to give to the save Haiti fund, a natural disaster that is not caused by humans monsters, then think of all the kittens and puppies we would save from the most horrific of fates.

Makes you wonder how well they screen animal adopters and buyers at adoption shelters and pet stores, doesn’t it?

Installment V of Cheating Hubby’s from True Story magazine, circa 1920.

5754686_blogWith Tiger Woods’ “indiscretions” hitting the press, it makes one wonder: Is any man truly happy being married?

We left off last week with Carol L. and her husband, and Dr. Kinsey’s belief that husbands are unfaithful for no other reason than their interest in sexual variety, having no reflection on sex at home—infrequent or frequent, the result is the same.

In such cases, obviously, a wife has no cause to blame herself as an inadequate mate. It is not she who has failed her husband, but her husband who has failed her through his immaturity.

In the frantic search for reasons why a husband is unfaithful, there has been a remarkable reluctance to pin any blame on the man himself.

Unquestionably, much of the advice which assumes wives can help prevent or end infidelity by being better wives is sound and constructive. It is only common sense that the average husband is less likely to stray if he is thoroughly happy at home (Who is? Tiger obviously wasn’t satisfied with his blond bikini model, so can any man or woman be?), and all his needs are satisfied. But what can we say to the wife who tries hard to please him in every way, who is a perfect sexual partner—only to be repaid by infidelity? Wives should be reassured that they are not wrong or at fault in such a case.

The truth about infidelity is most often found between these two extremes.  There is usually some error on both sides, both partners have failed each other, because, they are, after all, only human. The important thing is less the assignment of blame than a probing of causes of infidelity, and how we can correct them.

So how many husbands actually cheat? The results will shock you! Click below!
