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 [...]

'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 [...]

Newsflash: Ignorance is Not Bliss! (Abstinence and Why It Sucks)
The BBC reported in August that abstinence-only sex education programs are not working in the United States. Shockingly, studies found that avoiding education about sex does not reduce risks of teen pregnancy or slow the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. It turns out that sex is so good that even pretending it doesn’t exist does [...]

Midwifery: Keeping Ya' Mama From Getting Cut For 5 Million Years
Don’t get me wrong. I love electronic culture. It gives me access to everyone else who has access to it, which is a lot of people. But it’s not everyone.

This poll discussed over at Slate in the article “Man Up!” found that “Despite the recent frenzy of media attention over the issue of race in America, a new poll by CBS (PDF) suggests that gender may cause more problems for contemporary presidential contenders.
