According to the researchers from the University of Houston, “our work finds that, indeed, non-feminists believe in traditional gender roles such as men being breadwinners and [...]

In a NY Times op-ed piece, Nicholas Kristof discusses maternal mortality, and the systematic inattention of our society towards reproductive health care, particularly when those who suffer and perish are impoverished, voiceless women (in this case, in Pakistan). He posits the following, which I’d like to make today’s thought for the day:
“If men had [...]

With Japan experiencing the worst recession since World War II, many of its young women are left with no college education, often limited to low-paying, dead-end jobs or temp positions. Amidst such bleak realities, an old profession is regaining popularity and respectability. Hostessing – a position where women lavish adoring attention on men for a [...]

Roughly 74 percent of the 6 million or so jobs lost in this recession have been men’s, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a statistic which has resulted in the uptick of another one: relationship problems (and subsequent divorces). This because earning a living is still centrally tied to male self-esteem, since Tarzan still [...]

So, in light of this George Tiller murder, I’ve been listening to and thinking over abortion debates the last day or so. And it doesn’t matter how I turn it in my head, I can’t make sense of the lunacy of the extreme pro-lifers. I mean, there’s morons out there saying that Tiller got [...]

Now, in an effort to reaffirm their standing on my shit list, they’re selling another game involving (or rather, promoting) violence against women. “Stockholm: An Exploration of True Love” is a game that [...]

In the last decade, over 30 brutal murders have been reported in association with such [...]
