Tiger Woods, Warren Beatty, and the American Man: Who Is Allowed to Do It?

Who’s allowed to have a lot of sex and who isn’t is now a subject at the heart of American culture. The reason Tiger Woods shouldn’t be having copious sex is explained in great detail by my colleague, Buzz Bissinger, in this month’s Vanity Fair. Bissinger’s view is that Woods made himself into a non-sexual being and, thus, having sex—so much sex—exploded his image of ineffable remoteness. This cool specimen turned into a dirty bastard.
On the other hand, we learn from reports about a forthcoming biography of another cool guy, Warren Beatty, that, by biographer Peter Biskind’s math, Beatty has had sex with 13,000 women—a credit to his image, rather than a liability.
But it may be too that there is a sexual class system. We allow some master-of-the-universe bulls to be sexually profligate, while we begrudge others—arriviste poodles like Edwards—satisfaction of their desires.

One of AlterNet’s most popular articles of the year: Confident that you are buying good, socially conscious brands? Find out the real story.

This article was AlterNet’s 6th most popular article in 2009.

I was surprised more recently when I saw Burt’s Bees products everywhere — in grocery stores, drug stores, corner bodegas and big-box stores like Target and Wal-Mart. I thought to myself, fantastic; the marketplace is working, and good for Burt. He has made his mark, and the demand for his products is on the rise.

Needless to say, I was shocked when I recently found out that Burt’s Bees is now owned by Clorox, a massive corporate company that has historically cared very little about the environment, but whose main industry is directly associated with harmful chemicals, some of which require warning labels for legal sale.

Tomgram: Rebecca Solnit, Earth, Too Big to Fail?

Just last week, a little air armada of at least five Hellfire-missile-armed unmanned aerial vehicles — robot planes to you — attacked an area in North Waziristan in Pakistan’s tribal borderlands, reportedly killing 15 or more people.  It’s unclear whether these were all Predator drones or some were the more advanced Reapers — names that might well have come out of the sci-fi memory banks of the generation now flying them via console from hundreds, or even thousands, of miles away.
