‘Dirty Thirty’ is a woman who can separate emotions from sex
Some women are able to separate their emotions from physical exortion. Others, on the other hand, find it difficult to separate their emotions from sex. Alfred Kinsey, who did extensive research in the 1940s, said that women reach their sexual peak in their 30s, a period of time which also marks the time when they are most likely to have children and have married.
Kinsey’s study noted women hit their sexual stride in their dirty 30s
Despite widespread social and cultural pressure to stop sex before puberty, Kinsey’s study noted that women “hit their sexual stride” during the early thirties. Her findings were compiled into two books that were the opening salvos of the sexual revolution. However, they contain sweeping claims and quick transitions from tables of data to moral speculation.
While Kinsey did note that women start to engage in sexual intercourse during their thirties, the research conducted during that time period has become increasingly controversial. While women continue to have sexual intercourse into their forties and beyond, the number of intercourses that takes place in these later years has risen dramatically. Some researchers are urging women to have sex in their thirties to avoid social stigma.
Earlier studies have shown that women usually hit their sexual stride during their thirties. But the study was also wrong because women often start sexual intercourse in their late twenties, and then don’t have any more intercourse until their forties. So, should women wait until their forties to become sexually active? Perhaps not.
Keystone Light beer is a dirty 30
The thirty-pack of Keystone Light is a staple of high school parties and is usually an unimpressive drink. However, the lackluster taste and affordable price of the cans make it the beer of choice for many young men. The drink is known as a “dirty thirty” because it is not a beer that should be sipped, but instead chugged. Here are some facts about Keystone Light.
A light lager with a 4.1% alcohol content, Keystone Light is a triple-filtered brew that is refreshing and never bitter. The beer was created in 1989 by the Coors Brewing Company and is now available in cans, kegs, and bottles. While some people consider it a dirty 30, others consider it a smooth, delicious beer. The company’s CEO has also spoken out in a video expressing his personal thoughts about the re-branding.
Sissy Farenthold as the Dirty Thirty
The era of the “Dirty Thirty” is a time when members of Congress questioned the ethics of their political leaders and demanded reform. Former Texas Representative Sissy Farenthold was among these lawmakers. The “Dirty Thirty” included her and 29 other Democrats and Republicans who were at the center of the Sharpstown stock-fraud scandal in 1971-72. She defeated conservative Democrats Preston Smith and Ben Barnes in the Democratic primary, but lost in the runoff to Dolph Briscoe, who would later become the state’s governor.
While in the House of Representatives, Farenthold was active in human rights and other advocacy efforts. She authored bills requiring committees to record testimony and restricting the Speaker to one two-year term. The Dirty Thirty’s efforts culminated in a resolution authored by Farenthold. Before the revolt, many of these ideas had been lying dormant for years. Firebrands in the Legislature nurtured those ideas and passed new laws that included open meetings and records, lobby registration, disclosure of campaign finances, and details of officeholders’ sources of income.
