Celeb ladies who happen to be mommies get pretty much asked the same questions in interviews — most of which are variations on these two inquiries 1). Aren’t you panicked as shit about aging? 2). What’s it like to be a mommy? Luckily, Julianne Moore recognizes how lame it is to repeatedly ask...
I'm doing an English Language paper on gender and I'm sure I read somewhere that a certain linguist said something about, just because people adopt gender neutral terms does not mean their attitudes towards it have changed. I have Romaine in my head, but I can't seem to find anything online that...
A new study led by Joshua Hart, assistant professor of psychology, suggests that men's insecurities about relationships and conflicted views of women as romantic partners and rivals could lead some to adopt sexist attitudes about women. The study was recently published in Personality and Social...
Attention college freshman: If you attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, you must no longer refer to yourself as a "freshman" because your school has determined that this term is offensive, inappropriate and sexist. Really. Going forward, we all need to refer to such students...

Because I was born and raised in Eugene, Oregon, and because the woo-woo liberal arts college I attended didn't have a football team, the Oregon Ducks are my preferred college football team. But at their game against the University of Washington Huskies on Saturday night, I was...
In Iran, 36 universities have banned 77 courses of study to women, including literature, archaeology and engineering. And not only that, the National Nursing Association of Iran has banned male nurses. Apparently women aren't fit to become engineers or writers...but they're the only people...
In a recent interview with Howard Kurtz on CNN's Reliable Sources, Christine Brennan gave her two cents on how female athletes were covered in this year's Olympics, as well as the much-debated New York Times article on Lolo Jones released last week. As one of few popular female sports writers...
Congratulations to Shannon Eastin, a woman who will make history this Thursday as the first woman to ever officiate at an NFL game. She's set to take the field during the preseason game between the Green Bay Packers and the San Diego Chargers. There's currently a labor dispute going on with the...
Lolo Jones has gotten a lot of attention in the media this year, and according to the New York Times, it's incommensurate with her abilities as a hurdler. In what amounts to a failed takedown piece titled "For Lolo Jones at the Olympics, Everything Is Image" published on Sunday, sports writer...
Well, this is disturbing. UK-based handmade, all-natural cosmetics company Lush*has teamed up with the Humane Society *to help bring an end to animal testing. But they didn't stop at a petition or a small demonstration--the multi-national company has staged a pretty shocking protest in one of...
I'm a 15 year old girl and guys always say "go make me a sandwich", "get back to the kitchen", and so much other crap. What's a good comeback? Just so I'm clear, they wouldn't exist if it weren't for women, so they are in NO way better than women and will NEVER be. They know that and that's why...
First of all, my brother is 27, and not married. He has had the same girlfriend for a couple of years though.. and my nephew who is 16, (a couple of months younger than me) always hangs out with my brother, and looks up to him.. and everything my brother does or says rubs off on my nephew. My...
...severed off, ppl laugh? A man in England had his penis bitten for almost a whole minute and needed emergency surgery!
Isn't that the most horrible thing you've ever heard? And people were LAUGHING! Women on "The Talk" were laughing similarly about a man in OC who had his penis severed off...
A lot of women seem to pretend the jokes against women are funny either so the guys won't make fun of them more and call them uptight or just because that seems to be how society is teaching them to think, but I noticed no one seems to like sexist jokes against guys. The only time I've ever...
Like, I'm not familiar with any male sexist jokes, just the female ones.
Like I can be in a group of male peers, and then one will say I should be in the kitchen, or something else ridiculous. I'm in engineering, there aren't too many women in my classes, so I'm like a target for these jokes...
Before you all jump down my throat let me 'splain.
Jews require that male infants undergo genital mutilation as a covenant with god. It's funny how the boy doesn't consent to this and may end up not even following this religion as an adult, but the choice is made for him. Women on the other hand...
