NASCAR, a very popular sport among today’s American men and women, is not something I have ever really watched or paid attention to until recently. I started talking to this guy and he is an avid racecar driver and loves watching the race every Sunday. We turned out to be better friends than anything else […]
Read More Patrick vs Petty: gender issues in NASCARI was reading up on the current feminist news the other day, when I came across an article that highlighted Helena Bonham Carter’s response to the “Ban Bossy” campaign. If you haven’t heard of this campaign, it’s a movement created by Sheryl Sandberg (and promoted by stars like Beyonce and Jennifer Garner) to wipe the […]
Read More My Alternative View of the Ban Bossy CampaignWelp. Here we go again! Guess what: I’m at a 9 out of 10 right now on the BREAK SOMETHING scale…. Because, while I love the internet… and all of its “special” sites… I just came across this new Thought catalog? What is this s**t? Half of these articles are complete bullshit. Another quarter of […]
Read More My Nomination for Best Blog of The Year Goes to…I was browsing through Buzzfeed when I stumbled upon this article that has seemed to have gone viral. It explores what happens when the women featured in advertisements are replaced with men. The YouTube video that accompanies the article is even more enlightening.

Read More Quick Hit: Role Reversal? Yes, Please!Alright, what in the starry-eyed f**k is this? I’ve got a bone to pick with Eliana Dockterman, the author of an article posted on TIME about the “The Duke Porn Star Isn’t as Empowered as She Claims.” If I have ever heard more biased writing from TIME, then at least they did a better job […]

The title read “Dude In Yoga Pants Catches Guys Staring at His Butt.” (link) I have to say I was intrigued because as a woman, who loves wearing leggings/yoga pants, I sometimes […]
Read More Don’t Stare at My Butt!!!Browsing through the internet mindlessly, just looking for anything to read on this lovely evening, I stumbled upon this article on Raw Story. And I don’t entirely know what to think about it, but it sure is interesting to say the least. The topic? “Are women really so uptight about doors being opened, due to […]
Read More Quick Hit: I’m so confused right nowWhat do you feel about the phrase “That’s Classy?” I recently read this post stating that just because you are not the one partying and having one night stands does not mean you should be judging those that do. I totally agree with that statement, however I also believe that women are entitled to live […]
Read More Quick Hit: Classy as the new C-word??For the longest time, my roommate has been trying to get me to read Jessica Valenti’s The Purity Myth. The book talks about the myth of virginity and the implications it has for culture. After now reading it, I can’t believe it had taken me so long to sit down and do so. Valenti’s witty and […]
Read More The Purity MythI am just so baffled by this invention I came across on huffingtonpost.com. It’s an alarm clock that doubles as a vibrator! So you set the alarm, put it in your pants and in the morning, how does it wake you up? Yep, you’ve got the idea. I just don’t know how I feel about […]
