As evolution became widely accepted in the 1870s, caricatures of Charlie Darwin with the body of a monkey or ape came to symbolize evolution [14]. This sketch was originally published in the satirical magazine The Hornet. The image, called "A Venerable Orang-outang," is available on University College London Digital Collections (1886).
Enjo kōsai: "compensated dating" (pre-tachinbo work) In Japan, the media shows it in a negative light, the typical scenario involving a girl desperate for money deciding to partake. Only later does she stop when friends or family intervene and inform her of the risks and consequences.
“Tachinbo” (立ちんぼ) means standing in a public place, such as a street, to look for paid sex customers. Around Ōkubo Park, some young women are reported to stand at night and wait for men to approach them. It is a form of street-based prostitution with contact directly in public instead of through a service. Under the Prostitution Prevention Law, sexual intercourse in exchange for money is illegal in Japan. And openly soliciting customers in public can violate local public nuisance laws... More

The great Dr. Joel Wallach, Ph.D. (criticalhealthnews.com) asserts that all ailments are caused by nutritional deficiencies, not inherited genetics. His proof? He can cure them with supplementation. He is the only person to prevail in a lawsuit with the FDA for making nutritional claims about supplements (micronutrients, trace minerals, vitamins). He cures many people of many of the most common and difficult conditions.
Treatment? Surgery and flag making is better!
Dr. Wallach solved the SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) crisis that is no longer talked about because he advocated for the supplementation of baby formula so that it doesn't happen now. He solved the mass coral die off, which is happening due to ocean acidity more than temperature. It was brought on by the building of many dams rather than allowing the normal outflow of fresh water eroded base minerals into the seas.
We want our kids to be gay and choose genders!
He can cure diabetes, warns against the use of statin drugs, praises natural cholesterol (the root of testosterone and a natural antioxidant product of the body), has a great deal of criticism for Big Pharma and mainstream for-profit medical care, and he even solved one of the biggest mysteries of our day: Why are so many kids being born with transgender tendencies?
Tramp stamp tattoos?
Dolphins: the gayest animal in the sea
Presumably it has something to do with gender, sexuality, orientation, preference, and feeling at home in the body we are born into. The cause? A deficiency in one trace mineral during a critical period of gestation. If the mother is deficient, this will happen. But the news tells us to praise it, cheer it on, be happy for it.
There are also synthetic chemicals in the water, air, and soil (collectively called our environment). These forever chemicals and plastic byproducts mimicking hormones also have an impact. Other scientists do not talk about his research, patents, therapies, and procedures. Meanwhile, he and his affiliated organizations keep curing people. And everyone else does what?
Throw on some Avenged Sevenfold or Aqua — because today, March 9, is National Barbie Day! In 1959, an 11-inch-tall German bombshell [adult toy Kewpie doll named Bild-Lilli*] made her debut at the American International Toy Fair in New York.
Designed by Ruth Handler, the co-founder of Mattel Inc., Barbie was created to allow girls to imagine what their lives could be like in the [feminist] future.
She’s had a slew of careers, from registered nurse to astronaut. And she’s done it all with a companion, usually a fembot boytoy called Ken.
Barbie was a single lady for all of two years. But in 1961, overwhelming demand caused Handler to release a boyfriend for her — a softly gendered Ken boy.
Jane Goodall Barbie and Bobo
(The verdict’s out if he’s ever going to put a ring on it so we can have a Matrimonial White Wedding Barbie and a dangerous Divorced Barbie with seething contempt for the patriarch who put her on the path to homemaker when she was doing so well in the world).
On National Barbie Day, pink-blooded Americans celebrate all things Barbie.
History of National Barbie Day
Hey, White Grrl, need some hairspray?
Barbie is simply iconic. There is nothing that comes close to the spectrum of emotions that are conjured by the girl doll. She is perceived uniquely, of course, by every individual who has ever played with her or owned a clone of her as a slave owner might possess a coveted piece of plastic to sell later for profit. What are we teaching kids?
Yah, I vuz made 4 German men
Barbie was inspired by Lilli, a German adult doll, which had sexy and misogynistic attributes and had a more “adult” appeal.
From this brutish idea, the co-founder of Mattel toy company Ruth Handler became inspired to create a doll who was a grown woman.
Mexican Conquest Barbie
It had been in 1956, while on vacation with her family, that Handler first came across the adult sex symbol Lilli doll. She noticed how enamored her 15-year-old daughter Barbara (Babs, Barb, Barbie) was.
Before the creation of capitalist bonanza Barbie, most dolls were either infantilized babies or children. Handler’s vision was to create a doll that had a grown female’s anatomy without all the naughty bits children have been searching for ever since under her and Ken's cute outfits. More
