Newspaper stories from the good old days say the darndest things. So every week on the Sexist, let’s take a ride on journalism’s way-back machine, to a time when male reporters did not prefer their women to be dripping wet from head to toe. I know—it was a crazy, crazy, time kids. This week, our intrepid NYT columnist goes on—and on, and on, and on—about “what the fair sex wears in the surf,” insulting everyone. Pages upon pages of beach-bound misogyny, footnoted for modern readers, below.

So, you ladies got any TCSS up in this AAMP?

Earlier this summer, FOX deciphered the secret sexting codes teens use to fuck each other on their cell phones. But teens aren’t the only ones who need to hide their sexual exploits with absurdly elaborate acronyms. Sex workers and their clients, too, are trained to use the whoooole alphabet.

If you plan to patronize sex workers—and obnoxiously detail your exploits on the Internet—you better be versed in these 31 common trade acronyms. While these sex codes are meant to help johns avoid law enforcement, they have the added benefit of making any guy who uses them sound super douchey.

Last week’s column on ANC commissioners’ bad words, 5C Commissioner Gigi Ransom Censured Over “Potential Hate Crime”, has inspired even more incendiary speech, courtesy of the comments section.

Matt Corrigan, on why ANC personality problems should be checked at the door:

I’m in 5C and do the neighborhood walks with John Salatti. He cannot stand to be around people and not hear his own voice chattering along. When it comes to documenting, looking at things from the neighborhood’s view, keeping drains free of debris, John’s the MAN! I Encourage the public to go on the walks Thursdays @ 7pm.

From a Newsbusters post on Rachel Maddow hosting the Cable Positive Power Awards ceremony honoring HIV/AIDS educators comes this comment, courtesy of “urbuggenme“:

I am a respectable redneck, bigoted, racist, gay bashing homophobe, democrat slamming, liberal trashing, ACLU cussing, gun toting, Muslim hating, SUV driving – gas guzzling, cigarette smoking by the No Smoking sign, beer drinking, meat eating, resource wasting, free porno watching, God Fearing Christian…employed full time.

Great. But how does “urbuggenme” account for homosexuals like Maddow, who spend their time eating vegetables, saving resources, and loving Muslims—and still manage to hold down full-time jobs? Homosexuals with jobs! The gay agenda, it has gone too far.
