“The saints, many of them women, warred with themselves as well as God.

“Having been issued the false prospectus of happiness through unlimited sex, modern man concludes, when he is not happy with his life, that his sex has not been unlimited enough. If welfare does not eliminate squalor, we need more welfare; if sex does not bring happiness, we need more sex.” IfsMenNeedsDoeEnoughSexModernWelfareUnlimitedNot HappyModern ManSqualor Author:Anthony Daniels
“It is customary for columnists to complain about the excesses of Premiership footballers, whenever - as happens regularly - there is an incident involving some combination of sex, drugs, drink, violence and the constabulary. But modern footballers have a lot of both money and disposable time, a combination that has proved a recipe for personal disaster throughout history. And these incidents take place generally round night clubs rather than football clubs. The average Premiership player who turned up for work drunk would have a career-expectancy measurable in minutes.” HappensNightSexCareersPlayerViolenceModernMinutesFootballDrinkDrugRoundsAverageClubsComplainingDisasterDrunkSoccerCombinationAnalysisExcessRecipesIncidentsInvolvingFootballerDisposableColumnistsExpectancyFootball ClubsNight ClubSex Drugs Author:Matthew Engel
“Despite the modern dogma to the effect that women were a subject sex until the nineteenth century 'emancipated' them from history, women in history had demonstrated strong wills and purposes, had made assertions, and had directed or influenced all human destiny, including their own, since human life began.” HumansMadePurposeStrongSexWomenDestinyHistoryModernSubjectsEffectsCenturyIncludingDespiteHuman LifeDogmaAssertionNineteenth CenturyStrong WillWomen In History Author:Mary Ritter Beard
“By the time [of modern] generation was coming of age sexually, there was already this idea of safe sex. But that didn't exist for me. I came out of the free-swinging '60s and '70s. It was free love, baby. That was it. We had very liberal sex-ed classes in 1973, a yearlong environmental science class, and then Women's Lib and Gay Liberation. So it's insane to go from that to Reagan and AIDS. It was like, "What happened? Where's my future?"” IdeasAgeSexClassGenerationsHappenedModernBabyGaySafeEnvironmentalAidsInsaneLiberationComing Of AgeMy FutureSexuallyFree LoveScience ClassGay LiberationEnvironmental Science Author:Michael Stipe

“I never feel like I am "using" a voice, rather I am listening to a voice and recording it as faithfully as it comes to me and as I can. I think that the female sex is much maligned, even in our supposedly sexually "open" society. It is the site of a woman's pleasure, and the source of (most) children's entry into the world, and an ancient symbol of power and fecundity, and we are directly or indirectly told in modern times that it's dirty, shameful, ugly, odorous, and to be hidden away.” ThinkingWorldFeelsChildrenI CanSexVoicePleasureModernSourceListeningFemaleAncientUglySymbolsDirtySiteShamefulSexuallyEntryModern Times Author:Micheline Aharonian Marcom
