Liberty, Stand Up to Stupak!
Last week, the long-awaited passage of health care reform came at a hefty cost. Bart Stupak’s amendment to HR 3962 prevents women receiving federal subsidies from buying health insurance that covers abortion. This attack on the reproductive rights of poor Americans may have dire repercussions for women and society, and that may be what the [...]

Brother, Can You Spare a Dime: Economics of Gender Inequality, Part 3
III. The Myth of the Broken Glass Ceiling in the Sciences In 2005, Larry Summers suggested that women might not enter scientific fields as often as men because of “innate differences,” according to this article from the Boston Globe.

Um, Cum Again? I'm a Frayed Knot: Polyhedral Shapes in Sex
I’m still in the process of cleaning out my room after college. Bear with me — I know I graduated (ahem) more than two weeks ago, but I also am doing a deeper cleaning than I’ve done in my room since, well, I was about eight, apparently. I recently came across a Valentine that local [...]

Equality: Not Satanism, Last I Checked
Recently I stumbled upon this website run by that beacon of truth and goodness, the Christian Right. In fine form, they announced at the beginning of the page, “FEMINISM IS EVIL! Beware of the feminists, many are LESBIANS!” Ah, yes, such tolerance and open mindedness is exactly what we have been taught to expect from [...]

'It's Not Rape if She Blinks Twice for Yes' and Other Phallacies of Rape Culture
The New York Times recently reported that yet another rapist is being let off of the hook – as the majority are. Nearly 95% of men standing trial for rape in the United States and the United Kingdom are cleared of all charges, which is a shocking number considering the social, personal and political consequences [...]

Male Answer Syndrome & Homeland Insecurity: Smells Like Bullshit
In high school, I was once asked to read this article about Male Answer Syndrome. Here’s an excerpt I just found online: It is called `Male Answer Syndrome: Why Men always have opinions, even on subjects they know nothing about’ — by Jane Campbell (from Utne Reader, Jan/Feb 1992) “In the animal kingdom, males exhibit [...]
