Hi,,,Sometime a couple have their hope for having a baby boy or a baby girl. But for several couples, that don't be a problem. They accept whatever the gender. The curious question that arises is can we determine the baby's sex before the birth?. My-blogmedia quoted the article regarding this here for you. Enjoy !.The rather miraculous process of human reproduction is surrounded in mystery and myth. Theories abound regarding how to improve fertility, treat morning sickness and induce labor. Predicting a baby's gender is another area filled with knowing opinions based largely in folklore and intuition.I have recently heard it suggested that sperm for male children come from one testicle, and sperm for female children come from the other one. The evidence for this concept? A man who had dama
It has always been my assumption that gender equity was a strong dynamic in Scandinavian nations, but latest figures indicate Denmark ranks 39th in the world and even falls behind some third world nations. Denmark ranked a dismal 63rd when issues such as representation in legslators, senior officials, and having manegerial positions. However, in terms [...]
I am reading William Stacy Johnson's, A Time to Embrace: Same-Gender Relationships in Religion, Law and Politics.To catch up, Prof. Johnson of Princeton Theological Seminary, was on the The Theological Task Force for the PC(USA). He gave a presentation to the task force about the different ways people do and can think about same-gender relationships. I am doing a presentation during the adult forum at my congregation on Johnson's scheme this Sunday. You can read a summary of the various responses to same-gender attraction here (although, he has added one category, and renamed some others for the book).This is where you will find resources from the Theological Task Force.A more in-depth study of Prof. Johnson's report is in pdf Same-Gender Relationships in the Church: Seven Theologi
The American Psychological Association is currently in the process of putting out their new Diagnostic Statistical Manual which deals with all aspects of psychiatric disorders and issues. Currently transgender people are unfairly labeled as having "Gender Identity Disorder" even though the research goes to show that this is not a disorder but yet a variation of the human condition. The APA has now set up a group of so called "experts" to deal with addressing this issue and others in the world of psychology. APA Press ReleaseGood news? Not so much.Apparently one of the people on the committee has been quoted as saying "This is not waving a magic wand and a man becomes a woman and vice versa," he says.

Apparently, there is new research showing that what a women eats before pregnancy, may affect the gender of the baby. When Lon told me about this, I thought he was joking but it was published in a British medical journal. Here are a few highlights of the study:Eating breakfast cereal daily makes you more likely to have a boy.Eating Potassium rich foods also increase likelihood of having a boy.The women who had boys also consumed more calories than those who had girls.Not skipping breakfast or meals, could also help the sperm carrying the male chromosome.If hot cereals count, all signs point to me having boys one day.
Undoubtedly, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But new studies have revealed some more interesting facts. The study involved 740 healthy pregnant women – they were required to fill a detailed questionnaire regarding their food habit in the year prior to conceiving. Using this data, the researchers determined that women who ate the most calories around the time of conception
What a woman eats before pregnancy may play a role in whether the baby is a boy or a girl, according to surprising new research.Women who have a hearty appetite, eat a lot of potassium-rich foods like bananas, and don’t skip breakfast appear more likely to have a boy. Previous studies have also shown that male embryos do best with longer exposure to nutrient-rich lab cultures.It could be that more nutrients are needed to build boys than girls.Among women with the highest calorie intake before pregnancy (but still within a normal, healthy range), 56 percent had boys, versus 45 percent of the women with the lowest calorie intake.Women who had boys also ate an additional 300 mg of potassium daily on average, and about 400 calories more daily, compared to women who had girls.
High calories intake increases the chances of having a boyBy Stefan Anitei, Science EditorApril 24, SoftpediaThere are couples give birth to so many babies they could literally form a football team, and all because of their desire of having a daughter. Others end up with a group of cheerleaders but a boy fails to make himself present. The answer is simpler than thought: a new study carried out at the Universities of Exeter and Oxford shows for the first time the connection between a child's gender and the mother's energy intake around the time of conception.The 740 subjects were first-time pregnant British mothers in the UK,unaware of the sex of their fetuses. All subjects were of average weight, health and lifestyle. They completed a questionnaire tracking down their dietary habits before

Transgender, Genderqueer, and Intersexual folks often face difficult decisions when it comes to something as simple as going to the restroom. They face the reality of being attacked, discriminated against, arrested, or feeling very uncomfortable when choosing a bathroom that is specified for a specific gender.
Now, thanks to the Safe2Pee Resource, gender variant people can find gender neutral/unisex bathrooms around the world. You can also add any bathrooms to the database that would be suitable.
"The goal of the project is to create a resource where people who do not feel comfortable with traditional public restrooms can find safe alternatives, and to support advocacy and research to further the cause of gender free, inclusive bathrooms."
Issues of mental illness, cognitive disabilities, personality disorders, unemployment, poverty, gender, politics, the legal system, and education loom large in DV, calling for a biopsychosocial perspective. What better place, then, than BrainBlogger.com for a look at the subject? I'll start with a very good reason for primary care providers to screen for DV, and an initial look at gender issues.
This past week in class, we discussed the role of women in Hip Hop. Back in the day, women were all over the place doing all aspects Hip Hop. Now, you have a few female rappers left. Even they are disappearing, getting locked up along with other things. Women are nothing more than sex objects in mainstream Rap music videos. It is sad to me that this is happening. I am currently writing a paper related to this subject for my Black Feminist Thought class. I might post it in many parts in the future. My club, Hip Hop Alliance, did a discussion on the role of women in Hip Hop. I will post the videos of it in the future. I would love to hear a woman Rap. If there are any female MCs, e-mail me at DADDYMACK31@HOTMAIL.COM (seriously). Let's get this popping. I know that some are out there. Shout o

The members of a granfalloon amplify one or two characteristics they share in an attempt to promote a cohesive identity where none really exists.

Crossroads Arabia links to a story from Al-Arabiya TV that reports that the Saudi Ministry of Labor “has issued new rules to all government offices stating that the ‘mingling of sexes in the workplace’ (i.e., men and women working in the same space) is no longer to be banned. Instead, they will be expected to conduct themselves properly, under Sharia concepts.” John Burgess quotes Al-Arabiya as saying “this change is in response to the growing need for women to work. It also points out that the circular with the new regulations was sent to the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, just to make sure that its members understood what the laws actually say, not what they might like them to say.” If indeed this report is accurate it marks a remarkable st
I have often heard that women are from Venus and men are from Mars. Beyond planetary discussions, the differences and similarities between the genders have always been a matter of fascination to me. I can safely say that from a corporate perspective, it shows up in many ways too. From office etiquette to approval forms, the corporate sector is faced with a lot of gender dissimilarities. While surfing the net casually on Women’s Day (not to say that I don’t work on Women’s Day), I got the feeling that I have been missed out on a huge trend that has already taken off in full spree.I am talking about “Women’s Entrepreneurial Business" trend. Heaving a sigh of triumph (every effort taken not to sound like Arundati Roy!), I started and browsed through the Entrepreneur site a
I've long since stopped worrying about the oddities in the world. This story just takes me aback, though. I'm all for happy families. I'm glad my father didn't wear dresses and call my mother dad! But medical science and times are a'changin'.In Bend (good name for a transgender person to live!), Oregon, a man who was born a woman claims he is five months pregnant. He now calls himself Thomas Beatie and married a woman named Nancy. However, he kept all his sexual organs from his time as a woman. So the possibility of a pregnancy is high up on the radar. Not with Nancy, of course.Now I've got nothing against people going in for transsexual surgery. This person may be very sure she is now a man. But I do have issues with bringing children into a world where manipulation and personal greed may
I'm sure some of you have heard by now, either via the Advocate or by your local newscast, that the United States is home to its first pregnant male (full article here). No, we're not talking an Arnold movie come to life, or cloning reaching new heights. This is the story of a female-to-male transsexual, post hormones and top surgery, legally male and legally married to his wife, who decided to have a child. Incidentally, his wife had had a hysterectomy some years ago, so they decided that he would be their own surrogate.I won't delve in to the details of their decision to have a child or their experiences throughout the entire process. The Advocate and the author of the article above, written by the father-to-be himself, do a great job of that. I can't even say much about the discriminati
I thought about skipping this topic, and then I thought about making a really short post on it. Something to the effect of, "In my experience, women typically make better church leaders than men. So, for God's sake, stay the hell out of their way." But I realized that I have just a bit more to say than that.I'm not kidding about my brief statement. Most (certainly not all) of the most amazing church leaders I've known have been women. And while I can understand why some sincere Christians conclude that scripture forbids women from being church leaders, I think the biblical case for that position is weak, for reasons similar to the ones that make lead me to conclude that there's no compelling scriptural case for the sinfulness of gay sex. (See here.) So given that they're so damn goo

Far worse than any disaster dreamed up by Irwin Allen (The Towering Inferno), the end of the 1960s saw cinema often misguidedly attempting to embrace popular culture.

We always speak about using gender as one of the segmentation variables, it is only in the recent times that we can see examples of marketers trying to use this often forgotten basis to come up with brand extensions of existing products or even new products, like Emani Fair & Handsome, a fairness cream for men. If one were to back a little in the past we have examples of Nivea coming out with an exclusive range for men...In the recent times I have seen two new products which I thought were revisiting this basis demographic variable to segment the market.The first example is Horlicks for Women. Horlicks has been around in the Indian market for a long time, as has been coming with new variants to cater to different age groups with Horlicks for Kids and so on...maybe the whole range of v
This morning on AlmostFit on the topic of my battles with stress this month, I received this comment from MizFit [bold formatting added]:
"man it is STILL hard for me to avoid stress eating (aside: why does it seem as though men struggle less with this?) so I have no mind-blowing tips."
[By the way, if you haven't checked out Mizfit's site, you really should. Good stuff.]
This raises a really interesting question: Does gender play a role in using eating as a stress reliever? With all of Men are from Mars psychology commentary it seems that our emotional make-ups generally differ along gender lines in some ways (please don't misinterpret this as some sort of criticism or wholesale stereotyping - everyone is of course unique, and I greatly, greatly respect and enjoy that fact), but does gend

Today I endeavor to point out the differences between men and women in blogland. Now, I know that leading sociologists and "enlightened thinkers" will tell you there are no differences between men and women. Besides the glaringly obvious things like men having a "y" and women having an "x" instead of that "y", I think that men and women blog differently.Men are from Google and women are from Yahoo.Or something like that. Maybe men are from Lycos. I'm not that sure.From the blogs I read regularly or have looked at a couple of times, I have observed the following differences (based on frequent bloggers):WOMENMEN1) Women like to have a blog calendar. They post about bake sales on Monday and mothering tips on Wednesday and new tech gadgets on Fridays (I tried to not make them stereotypica
As a follow-up to Julie Pippert's post on Is there gender bias on the playground and political field alike?, here is my take on assertiveness and gender. Since I don't follow the political arena as closely as I should, I'll limit my observations to what I'm supposedly an expert on, my children. Having both a boy and a girl allows us to see differences in assertiveness in action, as well as just about every other area. As all parents, we try not to raise them differently but their natural gender tendencies always show through. Let's just say that when Dova plays with Adam's cars, it's to pretend that families are taking a vacation. And when Adam plays with Dova's doll house, it's to line up the dolls and shoot them down with rubber bands. I hate to make generalizations about gender, as

Lose a few pounds. Find a new job. Get promoted. Travel. Save more money. No matter what age you are, chances are that at some point you've made a New Year's resolution. Whether you kept it or not is a different story entirely. But new information from a study by psychologists at the University of Hertfordshire reveal that whether you actually stick to them may come down to your gender.According to a story on Fox21 News about the study, men were more likely to keep resolutions if they were broken down into more manageable goals. For example, instead of "I want to win the Boston Marathon", men need more "I want to run for half an hour three times a week", at least at the start. With more realistic goals in place, the study admits, men are much more likely to meet their resolutions. And what
Why is it that female dominated professions seem to have more promenent men at the top than women? Teachers, social workers, belly dancers, psychics are mainly women, but if there is a man in the bunch, you can almost bet that he has more visibility and makes more money than the woman. What's up with that? Is it the novelty issue? If there is a man teacher, he must be "special" or sensitive or some other quality that makes him more attractive than a female? Or does it have to do with the fact that men have no children, so they are more likely to be promoted? I don't begrudge men their success, but I don't get why they make up so little of a given population yet stand out as the leaders. If women dominate a profession in the lower ranks, I'd expect to see more of them at the top as well. I don't get it.
As media becomes an ever more powerful force in shaping the world's perception of itself, an individual's struggle to maintain a unique identity and self-understanding apart from media influence becomes increasingly difficult. Damaging to the idea of the self are the racial, gendered, and class-based stereotypes (always artificial and frequently physically, fiscally, and emotionally unattainable), which are broadly perpetuated and, because of their persistence, are apparently not broadly questioned.Over the years there has been a fairly constant critique of the content of television. Sometimes it rises to near social movement status, while at other times it recedes more into the background - but it's always there. Sometimes it is about violence, sometimes about commerce, sometimes about sex and sometimes about intellectual emptiness. Meanwhile, academics and representatives of various groups are represented on television.Given the pervasiveness of gender differentiation, it comes

According to their site:Inspired by an article and a test in The New York Times Magazine, the Gender Genie uses a simplified version of an algorithm developed by Moshe Koppel, Bar-Ilan University in Israel, and Shlomo Argamon, Illinois Institute of Technology, to predict the gender of an author.

San Francisco’s board of supervisors today voted 10-1, let me repeat that, 10-1 to give illegal aliens identification cards. Talk about rewarding bad behavior. People who broke the law to get here are being granted the same rights as citizens while people who are trying to go through the system to become legal residents or citizens are getting fucked. This makes absolutely no sense. We are constantly being told we can’t round them all up, we couldn’t possibly find them all yet we are able to get them to come to us so that we can hand them ID cards?
Can you imagine being from another country and having the dream to come to America and become an American, to try and live the American dream only to find out you would have been better off to break into the country, go about things the wrong way and become such a nuisance that you are given what you wanted just to shut you up? It has to be disheartening.
This coming at the same time that San Francisco will also star
Next year, San Francisco will issue municipal identification cards showing the usual name, birthdate and photo, but not gender.
When other cities considered issuing ID cards without regard to legal status, the debate was over illegal immigrants. In San Francisco, where the Board of Supervisors approved such an ID on Tuesday, transgender activists added gender to the discussion.
“Transgender” is a broad term for people who do not identify with their birth sex. Those who refer to themselves as transgender include cross-dressers and transsexuals.
“The card really makes gender a non-issue,” says Kristina Wertz, legal director of the Transgender Law Center in San Francisco.
Wertz says legally changing a name and gender designation can be time-consuming and cost hundreds of dollars. IDs that don’t match appearance could “out” people and make them vulnerable to discrimination or abuse, she says.

Japan has fallen further down the global rankings of equality between women and men, with long working hours and stubborn gender stereotypes seen as to blame.
Despite being the world's second-largest economy, Japan is well known for its "glass ceiling" for female workers, its male-dominated boardrooms and its long working hours which make it hard for women to balance a job and a family.
Japan ranked 91st out of 128 countries in the World Economic Forum's 2007 global gender gap ranking released Thursday, the worst of the Group of Eight major industrialized powers and down sharply from 80th the previous year.
Sweden came top in gender equality followed by other Nordic countries, while Pakistan, Chad and Yemen were at the bottom.
The Philippines fared best out of Asian nations in sixth place.
Japan ranked 94th in terms of political empowerment, with females accounting for only nine percent of lawmakers.

By DAVID DIZONThe Philippines continues to bridge the gap in gender inequality, ranking sixth in the world in providing equal opportunities for women according to the latest World Economic Forum gender gap index.The WEF gender gap index showed that Filipino women have achieved equality in educational attainment, healthy life expectancy and improving opportunities for skilled women professionals. The country's scores on political empowerment also improved further as well as other economic indicators such as estimated income, labor force participation and income equality for similar work.The Philippines was the lone Asian country to join the list of Top 10 nations that provide equal opportunities for women. At least five Nordic countries entered the Top 10 including Sweden (1), Norway (2), Finland (3), Iceland (4) and Denmark (8).The WEF index showed that most Filipinas get married at the age of 24 and have an average of three children.Nearly half of married Filipino women (49%) use con

Perfume enthusiasts often marvel at the individual differences that emerge when one person’s experience of a scent is compared to another’s. Our individual perception of a scent is likely tied not only to life experiences that have shaped the way we perceive certain smells, but to constitutional differences as well. One very surprising and important variable that plays a role in olfactory
Telling the Gender with Ultrasound Many families rely on ultrasound to tell the gender or sex of their new baby. How accurate that report is will depend on many factors including the age of the baby, the equipment used, the technician, and the cooperation of the baby. One of my pet peeves is that people take ultrasound for granted when it comes to gender determination. Not only can ultrasound be inaccurate, but there is also what I call the "Absence of Penis = Girl" theory. This theory states that if the ultrasound technician fails to find a penis the baby is automagically a girl. Here are some ultrasound of different "parts" for your viewing. You will see that clearly a girl is more than the absence of a penis.Erect Penis Penis From Beneath Penis From Beneath 35 Weeks Labia Labia at 34 Weekssource:about.com

Admittedly, the title of this entry was bitten from an ifeminists.com article also called Domestic Violence Is Not A Gender Issue by Erin Pizzy. However, the info here is unique and cites many different references.
For over a decade feminists have been spreading false stats and one-sided theories about domestic violence being perpetrated almost always by males, with females being the victims nearly every time. In light of this information on gender-based violence, Senator Joseph Biden drafted the "Violence Against Women Act" also known as VAWA. This was voted and passed into law, has received billions of dollars of funding, and the National Network To End Domestic Violence has still asked for more and were not happy to be turned down.
Take for example the web site stopvaw.org which has an article called Adapting the Duluth Model for training law enforcement and counselors. The problem with this training model is that it takes on the presumption that battering is essentially caused only

That is the question.
And oh, the variety of answers you will find! There is a barrage of information from both sides of the ultrasound debate. Basically, folks have been trying to prove ultrasounds to be safe - or unsafe - for years now, and nobody seems to really have a definitive answer.
We’re peeking. It’s no longer a question.

For instance, when consideringcharacter and personality, the gender of a dog does not reallymatter. This type of decision depends upon how a puppy behavesand acts towards people while still in its litter. On the other hand, if you are searching for an overall betterpet and want to know the difference in male and female, you willfactor in other aspects of the breed, such as the level of care,temperament and size.

Boy or Girl? You Choose!
By: Nancy Kunkel
I am a proud mother of two little girls, a nurse, and the owner of BoyGirlDiet.com. I specialize in fertility and reproductive nursing, specifically gender selection. Through my years of practice, it was my job to provide education and support to individuals, couples, and families regarding fertility, pregnancy, prenatal health and gender selection options.
When I started working in this field, I was pregnant with my second child. My husband and I already had a daughter and although we most importantly wanted to have a healthy baby, I always wondered what it would be like to have another girl. I’m best friends with my sister,and I couldn’t get it out of my mind that I wanted my daughter to have a sister too!
With the Boy and Girl Gender Diet Plans, gender no longer has to be left to “chance”, and now parents can choose what they want their next child to be. I always found gender selection an intriguing specialty and w
Most people I have met seem to find out the sex of their babies at their 20 week scan. However, if you are at an earlier stage of pregnancy or have decided to keep the sex of the baby a surprise (like I did all three times ) you might still be interested in trying the following (results not guaranteed!):

2) Take a piece of long hair, loop it through a gold ring, then dangle the ring over the expectant mother’s bump. Hold your hand as steadily as possible. After a while the ring should start moving. It it moves back and forth it is a boy and if it moves round and round it is a girl.
3) Try out this questionnaire at Dad Cafe
4) When you go to see the midwife and she listens to your baby’s heartbeat, calculate how fast it is. If it is less than 140 bpm then it is a boy and if it is more than 140bpm it is a girl.
Have fun! I guessed right 2 out of 3 times but then with a 50/50 chance that is not hard

MUMBAI: At Mumbai’s Kesari travels it is a toss-up between My Prince Charming offering tours for men - the men’s way, or My Fair Lady aimed at the woman who wants to let her hair down in the company of other women. Gender specific international tours are gaining ground, as outbound tourists move beyond the catch all family-group tours. Though still largely stereotypical, with fashion shows for women and laddish activities for men, travel companies in India are experimenting with programmes worked with a focus on the travellers’ gender.

“Women working full time earn about 77 percent of the salaries of men working full time”. That number is a little misleading, as it doesn’t take into account education and employee status, but the difference is still 11% when equal employees are studied across genders.
We all know the gender differences in salary still exists in business and so does the glass ceiling to some extent. The common explanation is sexism and deliberate underpayment of women. Linda Babcock, professor of economics at Carnegie Mellon University, has been studying the issue at length and has produced some interesting findings. Time and again her research shows that women are much less aggressive, and their finances take a hit because of it. An 11% hit in starting salary could end up costing a women over half a million dollars or more during a 30 year career.
Do the readers agree with this assessment?

If you are a man, you use the men’s room. If you are a woman, you use the woman’s room. Simple, isn’t it? It doesn’t seem that complicated to me either. But some people don’t know what they are, or at least that is what I am told. It doesn’t seem that hard to figure out what equipment you have to me, but what do I know? Now the University of Vermont has decided if you don’t know what you are they will create a special bathroom for you.
It also has gender-neutral bathrooms, a feature added to accommodate transgendered people, as well as those with some disabilities. The four single bathrooms in the new Dudley H. Davis Center — each with a toilet, sink, shower, and lockable door — cost about $2,500 a piece to build. Their wall signs identify each as “gender neutral restroom.”

By Anirudha AlamGender equality, a well-defined by-product of human development, always entrenches inclination on how to focus attention on women empowerment. Simultaneously women empowerment confronts challenges consecutively in translating the responsibilities to gender equality into action. Gender discrimination is the prime source of endemic poverty leading to skyrocketing HIV prevalence. With a view to making gender equality a reality as a core commitment, women empowerment has to be the stepping stone to sustainable development.HIV/AIDS epidemic is raging in Africa and mounting all over the world mostly due to gender discrimination, stigmatization and unsafe sex practice. To make the spread of epidemic flagged, widening gender gaps must be combated. Nowadays young women and girls are at a much higher risk than men. As per the findings of surveys and case studies conducted in Africa, adolescent girls are 5-6 times more likely to be infected by HIV virus than boys.Taking an inclusi

CASTRATION and life sentence could be the only appropriate answers to control the escalating incidents of children and women sexual abuse in the country, some members of the Zanzibar House of Representatives have advised.
"We must review our laws to stop such abuses. God has placed death penalty for adulterers. We should inject rapists to make them sexually inactive," Mr Abdallah Juma Abdallah (CUF- Chonga) advised.
He said that despite the presence of serious laws, rape cases have been increasing, calling for major reforms.
Ms Zakia Omar Juma (CUF- Women) opted for life imprisonment as the best punishment to control rape, saying the ministry concerned should review sexual offences laws.
Citing a recent incident where a traditional healer sodomized two male children, Ms Zakia asked the ministry responsible for Children and Women affairs to come up with new
