In an interview she gave to the Daily Mail this weekend, Drew Barrymore was asked about the lack of good movie roles for women over 40. Drew opined: ‘I admit I’ve been fortunate. I’m not at that place yet, age-wise, and maybe when I am I’ll feel that way. But I think, “Get over it! Don’t...

I'm glad I saved this image from the last time I posted about Audrey Irvine. When last I wrote about Audrey Irvine, author of the erstwhile CNN column “Relationship Rants”, she was blaming everyone from Beyonce to the US Census for the fact that no one respects unmarried relationships...

Riddle Me This...

My sisters, I’ve resolved this year to treat my personal academic work more like the job it is/should be, and so I’ve been leaving the comfort-trap that is my apartment for a table at the public library, where there are no cats to distract me with their adorableness, or kitchens to tempt...

The Award For Most Ridonkulous Op-Ed of ...

Gentle readers, I think we have a winner. 2009 ain’t over just yet, but today on CNN I encountered a personal essay that combines many of the things I frequently write about: women, relationships, skeevy dudes, language, the need to be a bitch and Beyonce’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring...

Nope, Not a Joke...

Well, not purposefully a joke.  But if you want to have a little laugh-’til-you-cry-’til-you-laugh-’til-you-puke experience this morning, look no further than what is quite possibly the smelliest piece of faux-feminist (ex-kyooze me, “feminine-ist”) shit ever deposited...

LOL courtesy of our buddy andBegorrah's LOLerature Tumblr. As y’all know, I’m pretty much incapable of passing up a snarka-tunity when it comes to hypocritical Republican politicians who can’t keep it in their pants. This week, Newsweek gift-wrapped the snarka-tunity and placed...

If you’re like me, and you hate high heels, well, check out Roni Rabin’s article: High Heels and Pumps Now, Foot Pain Later. The article describes a study of people over age 66, which found that the women–who had worn heels most of their lives–had a lot of foot pain. The researchers...

What’s a Search Term like you doin...

Once again, it’s time for a search terms round-up.  As always, there are a number of terms that make some sense,  like: sexism by phone –Oh, sister, by phone, by book, by movie, by television, by fashion, by science… successful woman get abortions — Correction: all kinds...
