At a “Mad Men” sponsored benefit for the Rape Treatment Center in LA , Jon Hamm revealed that he once worked at a daycare center and talked about the importance of good, male role models. Can this guy get any better?

It is an important thing to instill in a younger generation about the impact of rape, the lasting impact of rape. Children from grade school to high school to college are incredibly susceptible and incredibly malleable, as we all know. To get them early, to teach them about the facts and figures and other realities of rape is key. It is an important issue to me as not only a man, but as an educator, as a human being and as a person on this planet.

The Best Links:

  3. “Driven in part by coverage of the presidential election from a woman-centric perspective, the blog consistently ranked as one of slate’s top 10 features, leading the three women to propose that slate turn the site into its own online hub.”
