Joel Stein is right: cultural celebrations should be stratified strictly by age and women need to tone it the fuck down. When adults and children find delight in the same traditions, it’s a sign that your culture is going to hell in a handbasket. And if women have to have sexual agency, could […]

Four charred bodies were found Thursday in an apparent migrant camp burned by one of the wildfires raging across Southern California, authorities said Thursday.
Unlike John Christopher Bain, 58, a mortgage broker, and his wife, Victoria Fox, 55, a teacher, who also died in the California wildfires, we are unlikely to learn the names of these […]

From the people who brought you Libertarian Troll Bingo, it’s time for a spot of gender essentialism!

Now you can back up all of your sexist ideas with something that sounds a bit like science. Feel free to tell me that I’m just going against nature here.
With thanks, as always, to zingerella and apperception.

I want you to close your eyes and imagine, if you will, that you’re in the following situation…
…Okay, wait, open your eyes, because either you can read with your eyes closed or you’ve stopped reading this post all of a sudden; neither makes me comfortable.
*Anyway,* pretend you’re a doddering Republican presidential hopeful falling […]

Slate’s new gals-only blog (called the XX Factor because it’s x-edgy to the x-treme, and also women have two X chromosomes while men have an X and a Y chromosome. Get it?) is drawing criticism for being eyeball-meltingly boring. Erica Barnett calls it “fucking DULL.” Gawker remains unimpressed by the writer’s “femiladyism.” […]

Rice cautioned the going would be tough as she wrapped up four days of intense shuttle diplomacy during which she met twice with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas to bridge wide gaps over a declaration the conference is […]

Alone, each of those phrases strikes fear into the heart of nonrationalites everywhere. Together, they spell the apocalypse:
RNA interference is a way of “silencing a gene” to stop it working properly, and the researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston have identified a gene called ZP3 which is […]

For years, one section of the American work force has been deeply and consistently underappreciated. While fatcat secretaries get a free lunch once a year to supplement their $9/hr, and Moms and Dads get their own special days celebrating all of their work, when was the last time anyone stopped to thank their boss?

And […]

My personal MSN favorite Lady Margot Carmichael Hunnybunting Chauncy-Lester has one-upped herself this Halloween season by finally admitting that by ‘free-lance writing’ she meant ‘free-lance transcribing’ the whole time, and has let two guys and an honorary guy let you know what “her” Halloween costume is really saying. Then she turns up the heat […]

I think I need to check Yahoo! more often. First, Fengi found this adorable pair of articles on how those elitist, overly educated single women need to lower their standards, play dumb, and give more blowjobs. Or something like that.
The most mind-boggling quote, to me, is this one, from “dating coach” and self-hating Jew Evan […]
