Sexist

In a post back in January, when there were still more than 2 candidates in each party for the US elections, i predicted that if either Hillary or Obama became the party nominee, then the Democrats would loose the general election and the next president would be a republican. I still stand by this statement. See, [...]

So I've been been working hard lately. I work harder now than I ever have in my life. It's cool though. I hope you guys love my blog. So far this month, I've had close to 25,000 page views. The website is growing. I am still working on putting some forums together. It's been more of a challenge than I initially expected. Why didn't anyone warn me that go daddy hosting sucks? Well I'm swi

I was thinking (again) the other day: i haven't seen a tampon ad on telly for an extremely significant period of time.Body Form (as with most advertisements) was certainly degrading to women. No woman's thighs are that thin, no stomach that flat during menstruation. BUT the theme tune was undeniably empowering (reminiscent of Baywatch in fact). Yes, it was really quite catchy (NB I am not condonin

I recently read an article that said that "working moms are still more likely to do household chores and childcare." America, aren't we beyond that, yet? I mean, seriously. My job is no less serious than my husband's. My income is no less meaningful. And that means that my contribution around the house and with our future children should be no more overbalanced than his, right?Wrong, apparently.According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, on an average day, only 54% of fathers help out with childcare, while 71% of mothers are stuck carrying the full load. Similarly, on an average day, only 64% of men help out around the house, while 89% of women are left maintaining everything.Men, wake the hell up. This is an order! Lincoln freed the slaves and the 1950s era of simpering wives and pampere

If you are still in doubt that the election season rolls out the crazies, a report from Fox News may seal the deal.Thursday at a town hall meeting in Des Moines, Iowa, a man stood up and said he wanted to ask the Arizona senator about a “mental health care” concern.“Previously I had been married to a woman who was very verbally abusive to me,” the man said. He paused and asked, “Is it true that you called your wife a c***?”The crowd booed, and McCain responded:“No, no — you don’t wanna, you don’t wanna. You know, it’s a great thing about town hall meetings, sir,” he said. “But we really don’t — there’s people here who don’t respect that kind of language. So I’ll move onto the next questioner in the back.”The man was escorted out courtesy of the secret

Regardless of whether one agrees with Melissa McEwan that criticism of Clinton’s laugh is sexist, or one agrees with Ann Althouse that making fun of politicians is part of the debate we have in this country, I hope that they can at last find the humor in Eric’s take on the whole debate at Classical [...]

I just posted a few weeks ago a bunch of the articles I’d written for Relevant magazine. Not saying this had anything to do with my lack of writing in the following year, but my post concerning Relevant’s new women’s mag, Radiant, got some interesting attention. Basically I posted this advertisement from Relevant’s website: And I wrote about the trouble with the assumption behind “It’s Our Turn Now.” Radiant Magazine as you can see from the site is geared towards women. What’s so terrible about a magazine geared specifically towards women? Nothing; the terrible thing is that it implies, that Relevant was/is geared toward men. I am not saying Relevant was, or is, a men’s magazine, I’m saying their choice of wording implies that it was. Take a look at the ad for Radiant on Relevant’s homepage. It says, “It’s Our Turn Now.” Does this mean that Relevant was the “men’s” turn? Clearly the approach towards this new magazine does

Hazel Blears's height, the Zimmers and Tinky Winky's sexual orientationDear Marina,I was watching the deputy hustings on Newsnight the other day and thought that Cruddas was gorgeous. But why was Hazel Blears sitting on a chair all the way through. Do you know why? Confused of the North East At 4ft 10 inches Ms Blears punches well above her height in the Labour party. But she obviously lacks

Apparently Google still thinks this is a man’s world and a woman’s place is in the home. Maybe someone should tell them that women were given the right to vote in 1920. Search for anything starting with any of these terms, like ’she voted to invade iraq’, and Google will...

Comment: Such is the quality of Malaysian Parliamentarians. KUALA LUMPUR: MPs Datuk Mohd Said Yusof (Jasin – BN) and Datuk Bung Mokhtar Radin (Kinabatangan – BN) have apologised to all Malaysian women for making the now infamous bocor remarks in Parliament last week. The remarks caused a nationwide furore, leading various women’s groups to protest against the two MPs outside the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry on Tuesday. "I am very sorry. I apologise to all women. It was a slip of the tongue, said in the heat of the moment," said Mohd Said, adding, "I respect all women and the liberation of women." In Kota Kinabalu, Bung Mokhtar also expressed his apology to all women for his "unintended remarks." "It was not my intention to hurt any woman. "I said it in the heat of an argument with DAP members, who were calling me binatang (animal) and accusing the Barisan Nasional of corruption. "I strongly feel that women's feelings should be respected," he told

Mailmen are funny, I mean, mailpeople. Mailmen is sexist which is a joke upon itself. We used to have this mailman who would come in and say hi but never really even look at us. He’d be like hey and we’d look up, but by that time he’s ...
