    Like religion, sex in general has long been used to control people. In fact, sex habits is one of the common tools religions use to control their devotees.

    Only the women and girls. Men and boys get a free pass. One may refer to it as “penis pass.”

        The religiopolitic circle doesn’t seemed so concerned with Thiel or Santos money. We have to learn to separate our feelings from issues, because not doing so leads to confusion. All the money cares about is realpolitik, and until we learn to think like them and teach our children to think like them, we will continue to happily hand them our power, then be confuzzled about how it happened, and more importantly, how to regain and keep it. The real magic is not becoming them, in learning to think like them.

      Sometimes, but look at Speaker Johnson and his son, monitoring each other’s porn habits. Only the penises at the top of the religious hierarchy get the pass.
