Pastel is the new black.
Please tell me that this article was written by a bored, possibly drunk AP writer having a lark and trying to see what he or she could sneak past the editor.
Prairie skirts are in fashion this season, while dusty pastels and neutrals are being introduced to offset trendy bold colors and [...]

Hey, I wonder why more women aren’t into sci-fi and fantasy.
In LiveJournal Land, an interesting hoopla has erupted around The Open-Source Boob Project. The story starts at ConFusion in Ann Arbor, an annual sci-fi, fantasy, anime, gaming, comics, etc., convention. If you’ve ever shown up at a con wearing a set of boobs, you know [...]

I’ve always giggled when people say we have moved to a “post-patriarchy” and that feminism is no longer necessary. People who believe this obviously don’t open their eyes very often. But, the fact that we still live in a patriarchy have never been more noticeable then when one is planning a wedding.
I never [...]

Flying shards of glass and everything. I was so worried about the economy and BAM! FINALLY somebody, somewhere is aiming to do something about it!
Study: Single parents cost taxpayers $112 billion
That sure jumped out at me. Clearly, first off, single parents aren’t taxpayers! Or the headline would read [...]

Amanda can’t fisk this, but I bet I can (although I admit to being less sure when I got to the bottom of the page and saw the link to page 2).
Long story short: Women, why did we ever give them the vote?
Long story longer: Charlotte Adam just can not stop typing when it comes [...]

Amanda points to Rod Dreher’s take on a recent NYT style article about sexed-up wedding dresses. Now this being a New York Time’s slut-shaming style piece, it is of course unintentionally hilarious, trying to mix up the usual fluffy attempts to pass off a super-fabulous wealthy lifestyle as normal (who among us doesn’t get [...]

Over at Boundless Webzine, Focus on the Family’s source of hip, Candice Watters is reminded by the New York Times to warn science to beware, bee–waaarrreeeeeee!!!!!!!! That is, beware to continue to be aware that scientific ethics are a good thing.
Also, did you know that in the past, scientists were sometimes wrong? And [...]

Via Kevin at Slant Truth, a pop psych article is in dire need of more fisking. Purporting to share with us 10 “politically incorrect” “truths” about “human nature” by justifying all your favorite stereotypes, it’s quite a delight of an article. Kevin himself was only able to get past the introduction and first [...]

An article in Slate let’s Hillary know what she’s in for should she win: a nation of ungrateful fucks, regardless of how well she does.
As luck would have it, there’s new data out there about the shifts that take place when women run the world. Or at least a bunch of Indian villages.
Basically, [...]

Dear diary,
Last night was the wildest freaking night ever, man. I was at Aaron’s party, and maybe I’d had a few too many, but whatever — I was feeling good, and I knew that in my boot-cuts and tight shirt, I was looking good, too.
The place was packed, and without realizing it, me [...]

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.” [...]

LATimes has an article about Southwestern’s “Back to the Future” collegiate level homemaking concentration, entitled- completely not patronizingly at all- “They Love to Do Their Homework.”
This fall, the internationally known seminary — a century-old training ground for Southern Baptists — began reinforcing those traditional gender roles with college classes in homemaking. The academic program, open [...]
