SUMMER IN DERBYSHIRE

Sick of my banging on about Condit? I don’t know where to start in my appreciation of John Derbyshire’s latest reverie on masculinity in the next century. My favorite quote: “Fellatio is Ritalin for adolescents. What the mostly-female staff of elementary schools are doing to 8-year-old boys, female students are doing to the 16-year-olds, though the meaning of “orally administered” is of course somewhat different in the two cases. Along with the normalizing of homosexuality, we see here another sign that ordinary heterosexual intercourse is losing its market share. Sperm is no longer much in demand for its original purpose.” And he has a few good points to make as well.
