I read a lot of blog posts last week about the new research study that somehow PROVED that women intrinsically prefer pink. I didn’t bother looking at any of the news articles on the study, though, because I mostly got the gist from the blogs. Today, however, I came across an article about it in [...]

We all know there are men out there who don’t think women are much good for anything other than being available for sex whenever and however they want it. Roissy in DC takes this one step further and says women aren’t even good for that — at least, not as good as inanimate objects.
It [...]

McClatchy Newspapers has a “Wounded Warriors” blog, which is basically a collection of reports about veteran issues. It’s a great resource for stories which, in my mind, are essential to understanding the Iraq War. And it is also how I came across this commentary, “Pervasive wound of war,” from the Washington Times.
The commentary is about a [...]

According to a recent NYT article, women age 21-30 working full-time and living in cities such as New York, Dallas, Boston, Minneapolis and Chicago are now making more money then their male counterparts.
The analysis was prepared by Andrew A. Beveridge, a demographer at Queens College … It shows that women of all educational levels [...]
Bush will break out the veto power to protect pay discrimination

So the House passed a bill yesterday countering the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., a gender/pay discrimination case involving a female employee, Lilly Ledbetter, who found out after 19 years of employment with Goodyear that she was being paid much less for her efforts than her male [...]
My Guide for Getting Men Laid
Posted in Gender, Sex on July 31, 2007 | 13 Comments »
It seems DC-dating-scene blogger Roosh V has written an entire book telling men how to get laid, titled “Bang: the average man’s modern guide to getting laid.”
In my humble opinion, anyone who needs an entire book telling them how to get laid is actually never going to get laid. Ever. Anyone who even has [...]
Clinton, the pink jacket, and thoughts about cleavage
Posted in Feminism, Gender, Snarking, Would-Be Presidents on July 25, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I’ll admit it. I saw the headline of this column (“Pretty Formidable in Pink“) and I was so ready to pounce with my snark claws extended. Here comes another vacuous article about the fact that Hillary is a woman and whether the country is ready and the other day we saw cleavage and did we [...]

Amanda Marcotte at Pandagon comments on the passive aggressive nature of Cary Tennis’s advice/response to this letter.
Basically, a women writes in to complain about her catch of a boyfriend who has a habit of oogling other women when she’s around.
Cary Tennis warns the letter-writer not to get too nagging by trying to discipline him or [...]

There was package on display Wednesday afternoon on C-SPAN2. It belonged to Sen. Barack Obama. He was talking on the Senate floor about the burdensome cost of higher education. He was wearing a black blazer over black slacks. The slacks were tight around his mid-section, especially in the front. The bulge of his package registered [...]

Steve Chapman at the Chicago Tribune believes scientific studies can’t be true if they’re contrary to his anecdotal experience:
Saw the news on how much men and women talk. Seems some scientists toted up the oral output and got the same number of words from each gender. Find it hard to believe.
… Once, when [...]
political writer gender gap

In the disappointing but not surprising category: Women writers still lacking at “serious” magazines.
Last year, an American website, www.WomenTK.com, began tracking the ratio of male to female writers in Harper’s, The Atlantic, The NYT Magazine, The New Yorker and Vanity Fair. Arguably, the ratio should be more or less one to one because that’s what [...]

In his latest New York Times op-ed, John Tierney wonders “why do women suffer to look like skeletons even when men don’t want them to?”
I love this opening line, Tierney’s not-so-concealed awe that women might be doing something even when men don’t want them to! The fact that extreme thinness is even an issue [...]
