“First, it’s so sad that the stereotype of the inept man-child embodied in so many a Judd Apatow movie and Superbowl commercial has become such a key part of modern masculinity that this kind of frame even works as a ironic joke. Sadder still that buying child sex slaves is treated as just another one of those things that men do. Boys will be boys, right? Always eating cereal from out of the box and sometimes buying child sex slaves. Except real men, of course. Yeah, sure, I do prefer men who do their own laundry and “don’t buy girls.” But one of those things is just a little bit more of a deal-breaker for me. And do we seriously need to appeal to men’s desire to live up to some standard of “real” manhood to convince them not to support child slavery? For once, isn’t being a good fucking human being enough?”

Nope, not a huge fan of Ashton and Demi’s anti–child sex slavery PSAs. (via mayaslinklings)
