Not for the first time, I have found myself aware of a dubious post regarding women and modesty. This time it’s via the good work of my friend Bruce, and it concerns this post by one Tom Brennan. I’m not going to quote Mr Brennan’s entire post (you can read it at his site if […]
Freedom of speech is an important and sometimes delicate thing. I’m a big believer in it, though I also believe freedom of speech does not grant freedom from the consequences of that speech. If someone chooses to be a misogynistic, racist, bigoted troll, they have to accept the repercussions of that choice. A lot of […]
Tories accuse Labour’s Angela Rayner of Basic Instinct ploy to distract Boris Johnson: pic.twitter.com/4FOmi2r8HK — MoS_Politics (@MoS_Politics) April 23, 2022 The Mail on Sunday is an extension of The Daily Mail, a semi-tabloid, right-wing newspaper. It’s entirely possible to regard The Mail as The Fail, and they’ve failed again here. Their tacit support for the […]
It’s done! Tattoo Number Five! You can sing this to the tune of Mambo Number Five if you want. I’m not sure how that would work but it might be possible… Ahem. Welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! Reflections I mentioned in my previous Muse that the 15th of April was the 10th anniversary of […]
Time for the latest in my Morality series, which can be found among a range of discussions on religion. This has been inspired by a discussion TikTok of all places (let it be said that TikTok is not a great medium for conversation). The idea under discussion is that followers of religion do not murder […]
Welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! The End of an Era The other week my wife and I completed our watch of the 2019 edition of Masterchef Australia, which brought with it the end of the judging careers of Gary Mehigan, George Calombaris and Matt Preston (at least for now). I was sad to see […]
Is this even worth it at this point? Discussions with David Thiessen of Theology Archaeology have descended into something of a cesspit of accusations, misrepresentations and general malarkey. I have not found David willing to even consider acknowledging flaws in his arguments and positions, and this has been the reality for many years. His latest […]
On my web travels I found an interesting post by one KC Sunbeam (that name is familiar, and I wonder if we’ve crossed paths before, but I don’t recall for certain). Their post concerns a series of questions asked by a well-known (though I’ve personally never heard of them) atheist by the name of Hemant […]
The other day David Thiessen of Theology Archaeology decided to respond to a couple of posts I wrote on the subject of modesty. You can find my original part one here and part two here. As ever David wants to ram Biblical concepts down our throats, without ever considering whether those concepts help or not […]
Via the always-excellent Bruce Gerencser I found a post that ties in with an earlier post of mine on modesty. This post is by Debbielynne Kespert and it concerns the idea that a woman’s outfit leads men to sin. Over a year ago, I tried to encourage a young Christian woman to dress modestly. You […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
Ever since I was a cub, I have generally speaking been fond of swimming. I don’t do it often, but when I do, I enjoy it. I consider myself a reasonably confident swimmer, and I have few qualms about going out into the sea when at the beach (well, when I’m somewhere warm, with clear […]
