So, maybe now we can stop shaming the fat shamers, and stop catering to the fashion industry who just want to sell their ware, and admit that being fat, no not big, that is different and involves being tall and big-boned, not the same thing, but being fat isn't good for one's health.
Twelve years after the Islamic revolution, the mullahs sent three assassins to kill Shapour Bakthiar, the last prime minister under the Shah and the head of The National Resistance Movement of Iran. They succeeded, along with him, they murdered a young man who served as his assistant. The killers escaped. No one was brought to justice. Now, years after the publication of the Satanic Verses, they finally get its author, Salman Rushdie. Our lesson: The mullahs never forget so don't be lulled into a sense that it's over, so much time has gone by, no one remembers anymore, no one cares anymore. Be aware!

This is the kind of thing that drives me crazy about patriarchal sexually repressed societies. Most adolescent boys dream of having sex with an attractive older woman. Nine years in jail for getting some young buck off? Really?! If he impregnated her, he had an orgasm; he experienced bliss. How is that abuse?
To keep equating men's abuse of adolescent girl with women's encounters with adolescent boys is stupid. Men and women aren't sexually the same--not biologically, physiologically or chemically. Case in point: a woman can't rape a man with her body whereas a man can. A woman can rarely hurt a man with her body but a man sure can either in sexual or asexual ways. So, let's stop pretending these incidents are the same. His childhood was stolen? He lived the dream bitches!
In my 20s, I had two fur coats, a brown mink and a silver fox. They were both very warm. Then my friend Carolyn Mahboubi told me to watch a video on fur farms. I sold my furs and haven't worn one since. Nowadays, with all the alternatives, there is no need to wear fur for warmth. Those who do for status and show of wealth, are morally bankrupt. These animals are treated as objects, dead before being killed, worse than agricultural animals. Look at them all at the wires like human prisoners. Perhaps the association between Covid and fur farms will pursue more people to give up supporting the torture of these animals and vacuous symbols of material prosperity.
