Free and unfettered access to the Internet is a no-brainer for our generation. Maybe not for our parents or grandparents, but at least for us.
With Bill C-30, currently before Parliament, the federal government means to stick its nose in our web browsers and violate Canadians’ privacy online.

There is something disturbing about the University of Saskatchewan’s treatment of reported sexual assault on campus.
Only one case of sexual assault has been reported on campus since the new year. That’s hardly an accurate representation of what’s happening to university students.

The days of being handed a Playboy by your father when you reach puberty are long gone. Children today usually discover the Internet’s pornographic potential by age 11, and the relationship with porn is one that outlasts most others in men’s lives.
Despite its seeming ubiquity and variety, there is an inescapable truth about the erotic entertainment that comprises so much of the web: almost all porn available online is utterly wretched.

To this day, I wish I paid better attention during health class – in particular to chapters five and six of Fully Alive. There are still parts of my body that I’m not entirely sure what their purpose is, or how they interact with other parts to ensure I don’t wake up one morning as a pile of loose flesh.
I’m an adult woman, and I know there are, like, three, maybe four holes “down there”, and I think they all do different things, but whether or not they’re different — I don’t know. Furthermore, I know men have a dink, and that they can do different things with it, but I’m still hazy on how the entire ballsack area works and why it’s even there. Or if ballsack is even a technical term. Also, boobs.

The insulting but hilarious story of the invention of the vibrator seems to be popping up everywhere.
Let’s face it; if anything warrants a retelling and celebration of its invention, it’s the vibrator.

No other generation in human history has had so much sex around them. From the increasingly graphic sexual content in movies and TV to the endless depths of pornography online, sex is all around us from an early age.
But despite the wealth of sexual voyeurism, it’s possible our sex lives are worse than ever.

Last December, Indonesian police officers in the province of Aceh clamped down on a benefit concert. Just before the bands went onstage, police shut down the event and arrested 65 people. Most of these were youths in their teens or early twenties.
Their crime? They were punks: adherents of a lifestyle that local governing authorities had deemed to be in contravention of Islamic Sharia law. Despite the fact that none of those arrested were ever charged with a crime, all 65 people were sentenced shortly after their detainment to 10 days of “re-education” in a police-run camp in the mountains.

You can walk through any high school in North America and hear the words “dyke” and “faggot” spoken as if they were okay to use when it quite obviously isn’t.
The prevalence of this language is attributable to homophobia: something that has been present throughout history and has not yet diminished as much as other forms of discrimination such as racism or sexism.
