By now I’m sure everyone knows about Amy Winehouse being asked by the Grammy Awards producers to cover up her tattoo’s nipples for her performance, but can we just pause a moment and reflect on how this is being reported to media outlets?
Every article I’ve read says the Grammy producers “expressed concern” over her […]
Now I know why I never went ivy. A group of Zeta Psi pledges gathered up outside the Yale Women’s Center with a derogatory sign were completely blocking entrance to the center. Do you think you would be able to break through a group of 12 fraternity boys to get into the Women’s Center for […]
Time magazine recently wrote about a research study that linked abortions to future occurrences of premature births and low birth weight babies, by 2 and 3, respectively. I understand that Time was trying to explain to the general population that
the study is hardly perfect; the data is more than 40 years old and doesn’t distinguish […]
This is so infuriating! If a woman says “no”, she says “no”! It doesn’t matter who she is saying “no” to. Apparently, in the UK, a top Tory senior adviser says that “suggested rape accusations made by women against their partners should be treated as “disagreements” between lovers.”
Well of course it’s a disagreement. One person […]
A judge in Canada called a rape victim “stupid” and “naive” because she got into a car with a man who offered to take her to a bus station, but instead drove her to a cemetery and brutally raped her. While the judge did sentence the rapist with 3 1/2 years in prison, he […]

Apparently, we have returned to the classic stereotype that if a heterosexual man has an affair, it is his female partner’s fault. I am just as aghast at the comments to this article as I am with the actual text. Summary: Emily is a busy lawyer with a husband and two year old son. She […]
I adored Knocked Up. I thought it was a funny movie - better the first time than subsequent viewings - that put a rather serious life issue into an amusing context to help people cope with the seriousness of the plot. But as a feminist, I have a problem with it.
While I understand it was […]
After my hetero lifemate, Cate, tore this list of 50 Things Men Wish You [Silly Women!] Knew apart, I decided to take a whack at it myself.
5. If you’re truly interested in us, don’t play hard to get.
If you’re truly interested in us, don’t not call us three days after an amazing first date just […]
I’ve often wondered about the Pussycat Dolls. Not often enough to actually be bothered by it, but often enough to say something. There is an actual distinction there, but I’m not sure what it is.
Nevertheless, what to do about PCD? Are they feminist idols to young women, showing them that if they got it, they […]
