Every day until Oct. 31, I’m collecting another terrible “sexy” Halloween costume for your erotic cringing pleasure. Today’s ill-advised holiday sex display really hurts me, you guys. I’ve been looking for a costume for a couple of weeks now. Last night, I caught Hocus Pocus at a friend’s house, and got the idea to model my costume after the tuxedoed skeleton band that plays in the big Town Hall bash scene. This morning, I hit the Internets to find a one-piece skeleton costume made to fit a  5′4″ lady. Easy, right? Nope! Just slutty:

Greetings, Sexist readers! Want to talk about rape some more? Looking to receive compensation for the ludicrous, insipid copy you wasted your time reading? Are you ex-gay? Then head on down to this year’s Crafty Bastards fair, where I am obligated to sit at the Washington City Paper booth tomorrow between the hours of 1:30 and 2:15. I will be accepting story ideas, reasoned arguments, and non-edible gifts, but no screenplays. Details are after the jump.

Like The Root blogger Jimi Izrael, I’m pretty sick of the recent spate of stories that paint all black women as overly-ambitious career women, and all black men as uneducated imbeciles—as Izrael puts it, “the story of the hard-working, over-achieving black women being held back by the shiftless watermelon-stealing, generally no-account black man.” Unlike Izrael, however, I don’t think a helpful addition to the discussion is to suggest that black women just stop going to college so much. But that’s exactly what Izrael does here in an essay that manages to be not just sexist, but pretty damn misanthropic through and through.

In a Washington Post online chat today, reporter Anita Kumar revealed how the Post caught wind of Virginia gubernatorial candidate Robert McConnell’s 1989 graduate thesis, which is riddled with crazy about women, homosexuals, and fornicators: Oh, he just happened to mention it!

“We recently obtained the thesis,” Kumar wrote. “Bob McDonnell mentioned the thesis a couple weeks ago when we were interviewing him for another story. We then went to find it. As we indicated in the story, it is available at the Regent library and has likely been there for 20 years.”

Why would McConnell  lead reporters straight to a 93-page document which spells out, in detail, how big of a douchewad he is? I’m betting he didn’t realize how bad it truly was. McDonell told the Post, “my views on many issues have changed as I have gotten older.” It’s possible that some of those views changed preeeetty recently.

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.

Do you know the correct racial slur for your masseuse/prostitute? The right acronym to obscure your Holocaust survivor fetish? Can you describe a shitty blowjob in just four easy letters? Test yourself in our sex code quiz, below. Answers after the jump.

This week, I cornered people on the street, pushed a camera into their faces, and asked them if they’ve ever experienced sex discrimination in their lifetimes. Most of them had at least been called a “sissy” once. Above, D.C.’s men and women tell their tales of low-cut T-shirts, unwelcome sexual fantasy, and one too many Zoolander jokes.

The Huffington Post’s latest foray into celebrity eye-candy linkbait, “Iconic Swimsuit Movie Moments,” comes in two flavors: Male and Female.

The Huffington Post, it seems, has tired of just fetishizing female bodies, and has moved onto more equal-opportunity objectification. Since it’s too much to ask for a Web site to refrain from objectifying any humans, is this a cause for celebration?

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. You can learn much about our community. John knows many homeowners by name and is demonsterably saddened when they move. Personally I can’t stand him, but as my ANC he rocks!
