Happy Halloween, sluts.

Do you think Joel Stein stands outside throwing Halloween candy at women screaming, “Whores, all of you, whores!!!” while secretly cursing them for not sleeping with him?
On a more productive note, who has a great costume idea? (C’mon, I know someone‘s going as sexy mustard.) I’m considering going as Joan Collins, but am on the lookout for a better idea…

Hillary Sexism Watch: Management Edition

From a New York Times article today:

For much of her career, Mrs. Clinton served in largely advisory or collaborative management roles — as a law firm partner, as chairwoman of the board at the nonprofit Children’s Defense Fund and as a director of three public corporations.

Since when are law firm partner, chairman of the board, and director of a corporation “largely advisory or collaborative roles”? Oh, that’s right, when they’re held by women.
In this article, the Times expends nearly 2,000 words on Hillary Clinton’s management style — mostly comparing it to the less-strict attitude of her husband. And it occurs to me that one way women get ahead in business (and in the business of politics) is to ...

Pandering from the bottom of her heart

A little harsh? Maybe. But, talking about the importance of being a woman in a political campaign is one thing. Printing materials with hearts for bullets is another. Yuck.
This comes from Louisiana State Senate candidate Yvonne Dorsey. It’s accompanied by a letter, and parts of it read like an episode of the Tyra Banks show. The worst part is, she’s got a strong record that gets lost in hokey language like this:

“I’m wonderful friends with all of the Senators (many of whom are endorsing me) and I love them like brothers (and sisters), but the Senate is still basically a smoky men’s club and needs a woman’s touch.�

Not quite the same as this:

“This is ...

Childlessness bugs men more than women

A new study says that women are more comfortable with idea of childlessness than men. The research, published in the November issue of the Journal of Marriage and Family, shows that the results may be due to the fact that men experience “strong economic and social rewards” for being a father, while women experience more pressure and demands on their day-to-day life.

“On a basic level, for men and women, parenting and parenthood mean different things,” said study author Tanya Koropeckyj-Cox. “For me, it reflects that there’s something important happening in the experiences of men and women where those different experiences are leading to different perceptions of family, relationships, gender and children.”

Despite stereotypes that assume women care more about ...

Tool of the Day


“German playboy” Rolf Eden is suing a 19-year-old woman for ageism because, after he wined and dined her, she refused to sleep with him.

Despite a night on the town with Eden, which ended back at his place, she refused to have sex with him, saying the he was too old for her.
“That was shattering. No woman has ever said that to me before,” Eden told the tabloid. “I was crushed.” He has filed charges with the prosecutors’ office, he said. “After all, there are laws against discrimination.”

Yeah, let me tell you what’s up, Rolf. Purchasing a meal and a few drinks for your ladyfriend has NEVER meant you’ve bought the right to sleep with her. I’m sorry ...
