Should I do it or what?
Whoa-ho-ho. Guess what Playboy’s up to?
Well. They are asking female bloggers to pose nude.
Let me add that I am so disappointed I can’t be included in the line-up.
I read this face-breaking news on Popgadget. And all though Diane of Popgadget is hoping that the winners will say hell no, I’m just hoping they […]
Female suicide bombers means stalemate
Female suicide bombing is a new trend for terrorist groups because of the advantages females have, allowing an accomplished mission. The New York Times reported that recently, in Iraq, females have led the attacks in 16 separate incidents.
The benefits are obvious: women are less likely to be searched because of societal symbolism, and because of […]
Holy hymen, all is lost
I’m currently reading the book, The Red Tent.
Ok, so it’s fantastic, but that’s not the point. So far what I’ve gotten from it is that the natural phase of menstruation has lost its holiness and acknowledgment of sanctity and bond between women and amongst women. Blood between the legs symbolizes fertility (therefore life of […]
A woman’s organization endorsing… A MAN?!
If the Internet could show me the shocked faces about NARAL Pro-Choice America’s decision to endorse Barack Obama, I would probably get sick of all the looks of defeat as a result of lost “girl power.”
What’s interesting is that NARAL’s endorsement announcement said something mostly along the lines of: we don’t want John McCain to […]
A Barbie world?
NYT reported that Iran wanted to ban the likes of Barbie for not coinciding with Islamic beliefs of covering the body. Basically the Iranian govt. was half-right when it mentioned that it was “dangerous for the health of children.” Sara and Dara are the dolls Iranian Islamic fundamentalists are hoping will get popular and are […]
Johnny, be good
So McCain opposed a bill for women to get equal pay.
Too many lawsuits he says.
This is the year 2008, and we can’t get a damn bill that even pretends to tell me I can fiend in fist-throwing capitalism? I have an old white dude, who will die prior to my entrance into a stable employment […]
Watch your adjectives NYT
Today the NYT presented an interesting and archaic review of the book “I Lost My Love in Baghdad;” a memoir written by a man who lost the woman he loved in Iraq.
The adjectives to describe the woman: “young, lovely, idealistic.” Then it says,
The decision to send this young woman to a 90-minute meeting in an […]
Abortion as art… NOT
A Yale student claimed to impregnate herself and then give herself induced miscarriages throughout a nine-month period for her senior art project. The documentation of the project, i.e. video recordings of the miscarriages and blood collected from the procedure (how dainty), were supposed to be shown at the exhibition next week.
Anyway, that was what the […]
Supreme Court rules in favor of “eye for an eye”
The very conservative Supreme Court ruled in favor of keeping the death cocktail, meaning that the Texas govt. can once again resume building up its street cred, execution-style.
If abortion comes up in the courtroom, I hope they don’t suddenly find sanctity in life again.
Nope, still does not make it ok
Headline: “Woman guilty of running D.C. call-girl ring”
Why does it seem like if the headline had said “Man guilty of running D.C. call-girl ring,” it would not have been informational?
