Representative Matt Pierce (D-Bloomington, including Indiana University) tried in vain to reveal a few facts that countered Sweet’s candy-coated fabrications, mainly that they are “old, unproven allegations,” “conspiracy fodder” and little more than “warmed over Internet memes that keep coming back.” Unfortunately, Pierce was unable to douse the flames of Sweet’s incendiary ignorance and save the Kinsey Institute’s state funding from going up in smoke. State Funding Stripper-in-Chief was Freshman Representative Lorissa Sweet (R-Wabash) who blithely slandered the late Kinsey as a “child predator,” claiming without evidence that the Institute “could” currently be “hiding child predators.” So *could* McDonald’s, the local church or police station, but hey, any excuse will do for the GQP to slash and burn a sexuality studies school with fiery accusations. Not that such accomplishments would impress the Christofascists who stripped the Indiana University Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction of all its state funding. Alfred Kinsey whose “Kinsey Reports”- Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948) and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female (1953)-took a scientific approach to the study of human sexuality (Kinsey started as an entomologist), and helped to kickstart the Sexual Revolution of the 1960s and ‘70s, the Kinsey Institute is unparalleled. It was and is a sign of these “ alternative facts”-driven times.įounded within Indiana University by pioneering sex researcher Dr. It appears that GQP Hoosiers in the House went the way of anti-pleasure, anti-sex education and anti-Kinsey ignorance in February of this year, casting a 53-34 vote against providing the usual state funding for the institute that was as narrow as it was narrow-minded. Unfortunately, not everybody sees things my way. I prefer the Bonobo Way of peace through pleasure, including sexual pleasures, though food, shelter, games and many other organic, sustainable, egalitarian pleasures can be shared along the Bonobo Way. Maybe it always was… at least since 1492. Sadly, it’s also become the American Way. Saying “yes” to Thanatos (the death impulse) and “no” to Eros (the erotic life force) is the Ammosexual Incelway.
America’s premiere sexuality research center, the Kinsey Institute, has been defunded, even as American Perma Wars-at home and abroad-are super-funded.īi-partisan billions keep rolling in for the War Machines-thanks to the Military Industrial-Congressional Complex, the Cops and the Gun Industry-that destroy lives at home and abroad, yet there’s nothing but slander and censorship, fire and brimstone for the sexology that saves lives.
