BONER CANDIDATE #1: HE’S VERY SORRY
A Logan, Utah, man who admitted to molesting two girls under the age of 10 was sentenced to 60 days in jail. David Jackson was also ordered not to have contact with the victims or their family and to register as a sex offender for 10 years Monday as part of his sentencing, according to the Cache Valley Daily. Previously Jackson pleaded guilty to attempted forcible sex abuse that was amended to a third-degree felony. Judge Kevin Allen said Jackson’s crimes were abhorrent but said it didn’t serve the community or the victims to commit the defendant to a long jail sentence. He ordered that Jackson be taken to jail immediately to begin his sentence and did not give him any credit for time served. According to the Cache Valley Daily, his defense attorney told the court Jackson was remorseful and has suffered a lot of embarrassment. The lawyer also said Jackson was heavily using alcohol when the crimes were committed, playing a role in his behavior and requested probation. Read More
BONER CANDIDATE #2: THE MANSPLAINING CONVENTION
Organizers say it is “destined to be the mansplaining event of the century.” Brought to you by the same Orlando-based bros who host the 21 Convention to “actualize the ideal man,” the 22 Convention is coming to “make women great again.” The May 1-3 event will be held at an Orlando location disclosed to only to those who pay for admission. Tickets cost $1,999 (there’s a sale for $999), and are only sold to women. All of the speakers are men. “Women today are being taught to act more like men,” says the 22 Convention website, which they say has led to divorce, depression, dysfunction, and rampant single motherhood. “No longer will you have to give in to toxic bullying feminist dogma and go against your biological nature,” say organizers. Mansplainers on hand to redirect the wayward women in attendance include convention founder Anthony Johnson, whose bio says his mission is to “destroy the feminist establishment,” Alexander Coates, described as a “fitness guru and modern-day philosopher winning the minds of men and the hearts of women,” and other right-wing personalities with hundreds of thousands of followers on Twitter and Facebook (which are definitely not Russian bots, like those of men’s rights activist and 21 Convention speaker Mike Cernovich).
