No Ma’am: A Field Sighting
So yesterday I was in a crowded public place in darkest Red-State America when I saw a rural gentleman wearing a tee-shirt that said “NO MA’AM” on the front. The capital letters made me suspect an acronym, so I casually moved to observe the fellow from the back. Sure enough, on the back of the shirt was this legend:
National
Organization of
Men
Against
Amazonian
Masterhood
I figured it had to be a joke shirt, since I wasn’t in the sort of place where one might expect to find a nutbar crew of men’s rights activists. Sure enough, Google confirmed an origin in pop culture that I somehow (gosh, how?) managed to miss. It’s from the old Married With Children TV show:
In season 8, Bundy and his friends found NO MA’AM, the “National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood”. Its “political goals” are to fight the increasing power of women all over society, but the organization tends to just be a social club for several neighborhood men to bond: consume beer, indulge in pornography, bowl, visit strip clubs, watch sports, etc. However, there have been instances of actual “political activities” such as kidnapping Jerry Springer; countering a breast-feeding sit-in organized by Marcy with a Beer Belly dance-off; causing a riot over a proposed beer tax; going to Washington to appeal to Congress when Psycho Dad is canceled; and even forming a short lived misogynistic religion, whose chief theology is blaming all the world’s problems on Eve, making it more of a sect than a proper religion.”
After the encounter, I was left wondering if the guy wearing the shirt has any notion that there are in this world men who so actively yearn for “Amazonian masterhood” that they will pay big bucks to experience it, in 50-minute sessions…

PUA Of 1947
This paragraph (from a 1947 letter from Neal Cassady to Jack Kerouac) reads a lot like that blather that modern pickup artists use when they are bragging or trying to sell a seminar video:
Without the slightest preliminaries of objective remarks (what’s your name? where are you going? etc.) I plunged into a completely knowing, completely subjective, personal & so to speak “penetrating her core” way of speech; to be shorter (since I’m getting unable to write) by 2 AM I had her swearing eternal love, complete subjectivity to me & immediate satisfaction. I, anticipating even more pleasure, wouldn’t allow her to blow me on the bus, instead we played, as they say, with each other.

Hunting Rain DeGrey
It’s funny how these little cultural/mimetic loops can thrash about for years before eventually reifying themselves. Remember Hunting For Bambi — the great “pay to hunt women with paint guns” breathless internet scandal of 2003 that I reminisced about a few months ago? That turned out to be real (as in, there was a porn made on that theme) but fake (there apparently weren’t any paying customers to do the hunting) and maybe-fake (it’s unclear if anybody actually ran naked through the woods getting shot at with paint guns, ouch).
Time marches on. Culture marches on. Memes breed and migrate and breed some more. The guys who used to do the once-notorious Insex.com bondage sex site are still out there. And so a decade passes until we get this, in connection with what is, I’m guessing from other hints in the twitter feed, a shoot for BDSM porn site Hard Tied:
Today Im getting hunted through the woods, captured and suspended upside down with my head buried underground & crucified on a mountain side
— Rain DeGrey (@raindegrey) August 9, 2012
My job is no office job. I always did want to try being hunted down through the forest and crucified on a mountain top.
— Rain DeGrey (@raindegrey) August 9, 2012
I spent all yesterday running naked through the woods being hunted with paintball guns.
@mwrigger is an excellent shot. Those things STING!— Rain DeGrey (@raindegrey) August 10, 2012
I had always wanted to be hunted naked through the forest. Hope the credit card processers allow this update to come out…
— Rain DeGrey (@raindegrey) August 10, 2012
Cultural/memetic progression doesn’t happen in a vacuum, of course. Notice in the final tweet the reference to the credit card processors? Even your porn is subject to the influence of the ogliarchic mega-banking corporations.

Presumably not true. But an arresting mental image nonetheless:

Social/Public Tagging For WordPress?
Hey, everybody. I’m trying to crowdsource a WordPress plugin/widget question for a non-ErosBlog project. Google, sadly, has failed me. (This often happens when I’m looking for something that may not even exist.)
Cast your mind back to 2005 or so, when “tags” and “tagging” (and the related term “folksonomy”) were a newish concept on the internets. Nowadays everything has tags, it seems like; but back then, it was new newness to everybody except librarians and search geeks. A bunch of tag plugins for bloggers came out, and then, a bit more slowly, WordPress and other platforms started integrating tags more directly.
Somewhere along in there, somebody said “Hey, wouldn’t it be nifty if we could let people tag our stuff for us?” And in the WordPress world, that meant a couple of plugins that let readers suggest tags for posts. Call this “public” or “social” tagging if you will. It was software designed to let WordPress users blog about a thing, and then let the readers/viewers help propose tags.
Of course, if you let random people tag your shit, some of them will tag it unhelpfully. Ha hah, she’s fat, let’s flag that picture with “pig” and “gross” and “oinker” and “needs to diet”. He reminds me of my ex, let’s flag this picture with “bastard” and “child molester”.
Any public tagging system is clearly going to need moderation of some sort … a way to present the proposed tags (either before or after they go live) to somebody who can review them for sanity and approve/disapprove with a click.
One plug-in that offered this was called WP_Folksonomy, but development on it stopped in 2009 and it doesn’t appear to work well with current versions of WordPress. There were others; I can’t find them now. The only new/current one I can find is WP Tag This!, but it appears not to offer moderation, plus it failed to “just work” when I installed it per the very limited available instructions.
Does anybody know of any more? Once again I’m looking for a WordPress plugin that would let the general public propose tags for posts, while allowing for some moderation of the proposed tags. If it’s out there, I’m sure one of clever people will know…
