DailyMail:
Women who sleep around at university are ‘more likely to become depressed’
Young women who have a lot of sexual partners when they start university may be more likely to suffer from depression, a new study warns.
Researchers looked at the links between casual sex and depression, sexual victimisation and sexually transmitted diseases.
They found that women who have casual flings are more likely to suffer from depression than people in ‘romantic’ relationships.
Female students who have a lot of sexual partners when they are at university could be more likely to suffer from depression, a new study found
They are also more likely to be victims of sex crimes and to suffer from sexually transmitted diseases.
[…]
‘Sex in the context of romantic relationships was not correlated with depression. There are several reasons why hooking up, but not romantic sex, may be associated with poor mental health among women.
‘These include unfavourable attitudes toward sex outside of committed relationships, risk of acquiring a negative reputation, failure for the hook-up to transition to a romantic relationship , sexually unsatisfying hook-ups, and peer pressure or verbal coercion from partners to go further sexually than they want.
‘Although some of these issues may also arise within romantic relationships, most do not apply or occur less commonly in romantic relationships compared to hook-ups.
‘Indeed, dating relationships are perceived to involve more trust, intimacy, and social support compared to hook-ups, and they still appear to provide a more socially acceptable context for women’s sexual behaviour compared to hook-ups.
‘Although we found no correlation between depression and romantic sex, prior research has found that being in a romantic relationship is negatively correlated with depression and poor mental health – i.e. romantic relationships are actually protective – among young adults, especially women.’
Young women are literally getting screwed because of feminism. Virginity is treated like flaw rather than something of value. Girls are being told that they are empowered by having lots of sex with lots of guys.
Unfortunately, things ain’t working out like they were promised.
Somewhere along the line feminists decided that any kind of restraint on female sexuality was an oppressive tool of The Patriarchy®. So they threw the baby out with the bathwater.
I’m not one of those people who thinks that a woman should lose her virginity on her wedding night and then never have sex with any other man for the rest of her life. I think female genital mutilation (FGM) is barbaric. I do not believe that men have any proprietary rights over women’s bodies. No means no.
I am not a prude. There is a happy medium between the Madonna and the whore. The “hook-up” culture ain’t it.
We need to encourage our young women to say “No” more often. They need to understand that saying no is more empowering than saying yes. There is nothing empowering about allowing yourself to me used. The real power comes from being able to say “This is mine and you can’t have it.”
We need to teach girls that Lena Dunham is not a good role model. We need to tell them that “Boys who won’t like you if you don’t have sex with them really don’t like you anyway.”
The best thing a girl can have to help her develop a healthy adult sexuality is a strong relationship with her male parent.
I remember that in one of Scott Peck’s books on his therapy practice way back when, he had a female patient who he said had a problem in differentiating between letting a man into her living room and letting him into her bedroom. She would oscillate between two states: either she would not have any relationships with any men, even casual friendships, or she would sleep with any guy she met. Back then that was considered nuts.
WTF?
The world goes commie and AGW will be the least of our problems.
A delusional spokesperson for a delusional organization opines a delusional POV. Yep. Must be true.
Her statement doesn’t make sense, China is indeed one of the worst polluters. How do people this stupid get into positions of power?
China is still a dictatorship. They don’t need popular opinion to pass laws.
Progs like that.
I found this over at McNorman’s how timely. We should send it to Ms. Figueres.

Money? 😡
Daddy government knows best. It’s the prog way.
That’s a bridge too far. If a dominant majority of the citizens of democratic systems decide that global warming is real, is a problem, is solvable, and is worth solving; then at least some of those democratic systems will reflect majority desires in trying to solve their part of the problem.
China will stay a massive carbon skydumper regardless. The only solution to the China problem would be to move production from China to other countries with less carbon emission per unit of economic production than what China has. That would require the abolition of free trade, the restoration of protectionism, and the freedom to impose carbon skydumping tarriffs on goods from countries which skydump more carbon per unit of production than what one’s own country skydumps.

You beat me to it 🙂 Here’s the link, I noticed they had trailers…..
http://oscar.go.com/nominees
I guess the big snub is Oprah 🙂 Maybe when she does her next “slave” movie she’ll get beaten, raped and have her children stolen by the evil white rich guy. She was almost too cartoonish playing boozy who pretended to smoke, I almost wished Madea would show up a slap her upside the head and tell her to stop whining because she had a great, hardworking husband.
My movies are all up for Razzies this year 😀
Every year Hollywood has a “feel good” nomination that is put up there so the movie progs can feel good about voting for it and the critic progs can talk about how wonderful it is. It’s almost never a genuine hit, usually it’s one nobody went to see in the theater.
Sometimes they win a bunch of awards, sometimes just one, but almost never none.
This year it’s 12 Years a Slave.
They can’t have two, cuz that might split the votes.
It will be interesting to see which categories it wins.
It’s rare these days that I want to watch or if I do watch, actually enjoy a movie that gets on the Oscar or GG list.
I like funny, stupid movies that my special kid enjoys at the local cinema cafe, therefore the Adam Sandler and Madea flicks. We did see The Butler because he just loves Oprah. 😉
Last big girl movie I saw was Les Miserables at a real theater on the big screen with the fancy sound system. There was a jerk (bored husband or boyfriend?) who was texting throughout the movie. That was reallllllly annoying having that flashy thing in my peripheral vision and it just ruined my serious movie going experience. Last week a guy got shot and killed in a theater doing just that, sad as that was, I sort of understood the shooter 😉
I saw “Her” last week and really liked the story. The actors were so good and Scarlett Johansson was terrific (I’m not a huge fan). I’m happy it was nominated.
I’m a huge fan of Scarlett Jo.
Interesting….I haven’t seen one movie on this list…and don’t intend to either. I’ve lost all interest in things Hollywood.
I’ll wait to see these when they’re on tv or netflix. Cheap, maybe or finding the movie theater a disgusting place to watch a movie.
Me too. We only watch a few “big” movies in the theaters now – last year I think Catching Fire , Hobbit 2, a couple of the Marvel ones.
I’ll probably go see Lone Survivor this weekend with my son and a couple of friends.
But I looked at the schedule and the only other movie I wanted to see was American Hustle and I already saw it last month.
I will wait too. 🙂
For once the Actress categories aren’t pathetic stretches.
This is sad, new Intel plant shuttered after spending 5 billion
http://ricochet.com/main-feed/Obama-the-Droughtmaker/%28page%29/1
I hope none of that 5 billion came from the tax payers
Our local Intel fab is slowly winding down, too. It will be shuttered sometime this year. The local watering holes around the plant are deserted at lunch time. Lots of people looking at unemployment. Only the higher ups under 50 can expect relocation.
BUT……”national unemployment is down, so all is well”. Repeat as needed.
🙄
Now this is some funny shit:
“They all look alike” used to be racist. But we’ve progressed.
The guy at Salon thought he was tearing Phil a new one.
They changed the photo to Phil, but never acknowledged their mistake. Typical Salon.
Nope, that’s still Si’s picture. Phil doesn’t wear glasses.
Check again. No glasses. It’s Phil.
Uncle Si:
Yup, that’s Si, but he’s not the guy whose picture is posted at Salon. I just wish they acknowledge their mistakes. http://www.salon.com/2014/01/16/duck_dynastys_patriarch_is_back_and_hes_rambling_about_microbes/
I got that picture from Salon at the same link you just posted.
Are you seeing a different picture when you go there?
refresh your browser.
A critique of a critique of some critiques of Lone Survivor:
We been man-splained. Or maybe grad-student-splained.
Has anyone criticized Obama for his use of moppets?
Priceless.
I’m one of those low-brow types that evaluates movies by whether I enjoy watching them or not.
If you have to do a term-paper analysis on a movie it really spoils the fun.
Every once in a while I agree with his statements.
Jeebus. This link just showed up on my FB page. Seriously. Occupy was just the beginning doncha know and there is a new and bigger and better “Wave” coming in the spring.
Oh well, Klown will have something to write about. Wonder how long before delusionals start jumping on this latest bandwagon to hell.

Anarchists are like cockroaches.
At some time during the night that must have seemed perfectly logical.
Typical progressive activist rant. The problem with them is that they have so many causes they’re angry about (still waiting for that OWS result, last I checked Wall Street and the Big Banks are still standing and Obama’s wealthier than ever). War, nuclear power, global warming, Save The _____and Free _____(fill in the blanks) It all gets watered down. They even make Alinsky cry, so I’ll give that a Twinkles Down 😀
I see by the headlines in the morning rag a few prog senators must be in election years. Otherwise, seeing the words “preventable” and “Benghazi” in the same sentence seems surreal.
Any mention of “coverup”, now there’s the money word, or I-word 😀
It’s probably just a “coincidence” that all available IRS inquisitors have been recalled from vacation and placed on extended hours. 🙂
My crazy uncle in Arizona sent me this one:
That’s hysterical!
😆 😆
In honor of Oscars, or the Razzies, I’ve seen everyone of these movies….lol….
I have never been a fan of the Coultergeist. She’s a rhetorical bomb-throwing shock-comic. But it doesn’t get any better than this:
She was on MSNBC on the day it started. They essentially launched her.
That is so good on so many levels.
He’s the assemblyman for the neighboring district to my ED. Too funny! I wish him well. Life is difficult out on the desert, so a good sense of humor seems vital to survival.
I’m glad I’m not the only Floridian whining……I had to put on socks, gasp!

I wore socks the other day.
It’s supposed to go down to 43 tonight here in Delray Beach…we’re going to stoke up the fireplace tonight. Funny though coming here from Santa Fe where it truly gets cold in the winter….they’re down to 18 tonight. 43 is like a nice balmy, beautiful fall day in Santa Fe.
In Los Angeles they call 43 degrees a “weenie shrinker”.

I bet cutting funds to Amtrak was a GOP compromise. Amtrak is the one thing I want my government to spend money on. Also, Uncle Joe rents one of his family compound homes to his secret service guys, I’m sure this means he’ll be raising the rent.
http://www.nationaljournal.com/white-house/the-secret-loser-of-the-spending-bill-joe-biden-20140116
there is less money spend on Amtrack and commuter rail in this country then many other countries.
but there is some waste that should be cut in the passenger railroad business. It does need an overhaul
The history of the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_Highway_System
killed the passenger train system 😦 Flash forward 50+ years, bring the train back, it’s more eco friendly! The flip-flops I’ve seen in my lifetime are mind boggling 😀
LA had a trolley car system but they tore it out to build the freeways. Now they’re rebuilding it.
SF kept their trolleys and cable cars.
LA had two systems. The red cars ran sorta intercity on their own r-o-w, while the street cars ran mostly down the streets. Different gauges. I rode the #7 car to school down Vermont Avenue for 5 years. Autos got too wide so tracks were yanked when freeways began.
They could have fixed the problems with an upgrade. They just scrapped the whole thing.
Sorry, but I hate everything Amtrak stands for. Besides a bad experience with them, commuter trains take away from the potential to run more freight along those rail lines. That actually makes money.
most commuter rail runs on freight lines and pay the freight companies for track use. there is very little delay to freight by commuter lines. They do take a lot of people off the roadway. Stand in Penn Station NYC some morning where the subway, New Jersey Transit , Metro North RR, Long Island RR and Amtrak all bring people to NYC and take a look at how many thousands of people use them every day and think of all these people driving and trying to park in NYC. Same with Chicago and many big cities
I have less of a problem with intra-city commuter rail, but I would prefer that it be run without a lot of government subsidy.
Things like that should pay for themselves.
passenger transportation will never pay for it’s self. If it is run right there will be less cost, but it will always need either state or federal funding.
My biggest argument with metrolink was the scheduling. the board felt it should only be for the 9 to 5ers. I know there are many workers who do not work those hours. They could not use the trains but pay for them with their taxes. I could never get them to understand that
I like the way London does it. Fifteen underground and light rail companies with over 4000 rail cars and 18 individual bus companies with over 7500 buses, all running an automated and integrated system the local govt’ has set up, and enforces the standards for. The companies operate independently and are designed to meet needs of riders AND return profits to owner/investors. The network averages over 3.5M passengers per day, and except for a few buses pretty much shuts down for 4 hours late at night.
phrases you say wrong
It’s just you. What he means is, “Flying by the seat of my pants again. The others things I’ve done haven’t worked so well, but maybe this one will be different.” Btw, it won’t.
What cracks me up is Obama is using “promise” for college shilling and for his promise zones despite his “if you like your…” egg on his face.
Really shameless lying.
does it bother anyone else to see all the ads for “obama” home loans and I just saw one for “obama” solar panels?. Did not know the president of the USA was in the lending business and selling green energy
You absolutely KNOW those firms were “O” supporters and are raking in the shekels while they can. Put them on your “Never-Never” list.

I’m getting a vision. Wait. The fog is clearing. Yes, I see JJJr. getting sick again and not able to stand trial after new evidence comes to light.
I picked up 2 VHS movies at goodwill today for $1 each.
I just realized they are both Clint Eastwood movies (Kelly’s Heroes and Unforgiven)
BTW – I’ve watched a lot of westerns. It is one of my favorite genres. There are a lot of really good horse-operas out there, but hands down the very best western ever made is Unforgiven.
IMNSHO

Yep.

Isn’t it great that your mom is taking off across country though?

The cops around here call it “squatting”, but yeah.
If you’re squatting in your mom’s house, she’s not going to be happy
