A recent piece of research told us that a quarter of the Dutch population supposedly has sexual problems. One of the points was that male sexual violence was more prevalent in higher educated couples. The researchers speculated about a sense of sexual entitlement among higher educated men.
I beg to differ. I think it more likely that higher educated men also tend to marry higher educated women. I strongly suspect a correlation between the educational level of a woman and feminist tendencies (academia especially is a hotbed of feminism). Could it be possible that the more feminist a woman is, the more she sees normal male sexual assertiveness as aggression, as per feminist theory? And is seeing your partner’s normal sexuality as inherently flawed not itself a form of aggression? Who is damaging who?
I think Noer was right. Feminism sucks.

An often used argument against the existence of God is the unlikelihood of the existence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. The Wikipedia describes this creature as:
- An invisible and undetectable Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe, including a mountain, trees and a midget.
- All evidence for evolution was planted by the Flying Spaghetti Monster. The FSM tests Pastafarians’ faith by making things look older than they are (q.v. Omphalos).
- The Pastafarian belief of heaven stresses two points. “A) It has beer volcanos as far as the eye can see & B) It has a stripper factory.”
This argument has always troubled me. I just found out why: The Flying Spaghetti Monster is an invention of the human mind, God could possibly be not. In the same way a chimp could never conceive of a symphony, or appreciate it, the human mind could never come up with something like God. God (if he/she/it exists) is in a different domain. The probability distributions between the earthly and heavenly domains need not be similar. We know that an earthly beast with acid for blood is most unlikely. We cannot be so certain about an alien one.
Simply put: God is transcendent, the Easter Bunny is not.
