It’s the All Boys Club at the Box Office
In what turned out to be my last precious hours before a traumatic flying experience (wait, that’s redundant) I happened to catch most of Ben Stiller’s newest raunch fest “Tropic Thunder”. Besides a rather disturbing opening sequence that I was hopelessly unprepared for, the scatological humor and endless political incorrectness made me laugh in spite [...]

Gender Hurdles
Surfing the web at 3:30 am this morning while watching “Groundhog Day” – which I found rather repetitive ; ) – I happened upon this very interesting and rather disturbing article about gender testing for the Olympic Games. In truth, I have always been wary of this international sports contest. I understand the amazing [...]

It’s Spelled Blogher…
Maybe we should all start posting as men, George Eliot steez. Is it that we are women that our blogs aren’t taking off? Is it that we are bad writers? Or is it simply that we talk about things that (less than half) the population couldn’t give a shit about like breast-feeding?

Got to check out an article on F.L.D.S in the New York Times Sunday Mag preview, the slide show is great too. Consider whether these women are powerful or not in the eyes of the state, U.S. citizens and the men of their community.

As if the thought of graduating wasn’t scary enough….
Poor Economy Slams Brakes on Women in Workplace, published in today’s Times, provides twenty-somethings reason enough to go straight to grad school and skip that whole ‘real world’ thing. Then upon graduating, maybe getting a Ph. D, marrying and quickly having children?
Is this recession big enough to displace women from the workplace, and get them [...]

Going global…
An article in the New York Times from last year talks about how female writers around the world have started writing chick lit. Women in places such as India, Finland and Italy have started writing books for women.
This seems like good news to me, but I am taken aback that the writer of the article [...]

Our Sexism, Our Chick Lit Role Models
In today’s New York Times, op-ed columnist Nicholas Kristof confessed to being racist.
Well, not exactly. What he did confess to was taking a psychological test which revealed that he was more wary of black men than of white men (click here for full article). This kind of “implicit attitude test” is common in the field [...]
