By A.K. Whitney @ The Ms. Magazine Blog
Every year as a new school semester begins, someone writes an ominous article about the fact that more women are graduating from college these days than men.
The latest hand-wringing salvo comes from famed anti-feminist Phyllis Schlafly, and it’s a doozy. Schlafly wrote on World Net Daily that not only is this imbalance bad for men, but also for women, since a dearth of males on campus puts a crimp in women’s plans to find husbands, leading them instead to pursue meaningless sex.

I Didn’t Come From Your Rib. You Came From My Vagina.
I didn’t come from your rib. You came from my vagina
Once upon a time we imagined God as The Goddess.
Women give birth, and so from the goddess worlds were born.
But once we knew the role men played the goddess birthed a son who grew to become her lover and consort. And from these two worlds were born.
Later, gods overtook goddesses. And eventually, from God the world was born. (Why this pattern? See this.)
And these patriarchal types have been trying to control women’s reproduction ever since.

Using Men for Money, Sex and Self-Esteem
By Adriana Martinez
Life holds lessons. Some, you must learn first-hand.
As a young teen I had a crush on my brother’s friends. Once, when we were hanging out, my dad ordered me back in the house.
“What were you doing out there with them?”
“Just hanging out.”
“If you keep hanging out with boys you’ll grow up to be a slut.” Read the rest of this entry

Scientists = Men, Say Biased Scientists

Women and Gay, Hot Bods
Why do (some) women watch gay porn?
Why do women — especially lesbians — watch gay porn?
Well, not all women – probably a minority of them. But still.
I recently wrote that gay porn stars seem to have more fun than their straight female counterparts.

Robin Williams’ Depression. And Mine.
Robin Williams
Robin Williams died about a year ago. As a tribute I am reposting a piece I wrote last year, in hopes that others might benefit from reading about my struggle with anxiety and depression. I’ve also learned a little more in the last few months.
