Ask Professor Foxy: How much porn is too much porn?

Hey all – Sorry for the late post. Had some technological glitches.
Thanks!
Hi Prof. Foxy,
I have been married for 4 months and up until about 2 and half months ago, our sex life had been ok, but not as frequent as I’d like. We have very different work schedules so I attributed the infrequency to that. Two months ago I discovered that my husband views porn online a few times a week. This upset me greatly because I was in a relationship with someone previously who was fairly addicted to porn and who had very little interest in sex with me as a result. I ended that relationship hoping not to encounter the ...

WAM 2009: Gender, Non-Conformity and the Media.

Sitting in an all-star panel at WAM 09 called In/Out of Focus, Broadening a Feminist Lens: Gender, Non-Conformity and the Media including our very own Miriam, Julia Serano, Jack Aponte and Kate Bovitch. It is excellent. They are discussing the different ways that gender variance intersects with feminism, femininity and the idea of woman and its relationship to identity based movement building. Also, what is the role of gender variance in media production and best practices on how to write about trans, gender non-conforming and gender variant community. Follow the discussion on twitter here. I am not even capturing the half of it, this panel is amazing.

Plan B for teens? It’s orgy time!

It’s almost a relief to say that the battle to get emergency contraception approved to over-the-counter use seems… so long ago. So very Bush era. But in fact, one of the unresolved issues related to Plan B was that teenagers lack over-the-counter access. Studies have shown that the drug is safe for women of all ages. And yet, in what was clearly a decision rooted in moralizing not in science, the FDA chose to bar teens from buying Plan B without a prescription.

Well, it’s a new day. A federal court ruled this week that the FDA must review its decision on preventing teens from buying Plan B over-the-counter.

In his ruling, Korman detailed repeated interference by “political

Quick Hit: The Anti-Mommy Bias

NY Times blog Economix has post by Nancy Folbre from yesterday on the discrimination that working caregivers experience – especially when they’re mothers:

During the 1920s and 1930s, many employers refused to hire married women, or fired them once they married. As my fellow Economix blogger Casey Mulligan points out, such “marriage bars” are not allowed today. But family responsibilities still weigh more heavily on women than on men, accounting for much of the pay gap between the sexes. Some policy analysts argue that mothers make a lifestyle choice, opting for easier, more flexible work over greater responsibility and higher pay. Others, like myself, argue that our economic system imposes unfair penalties on those who care for others.
But shouldn’t ...

Good and Bad News in New Hampshire

Yesterday, the New Hampshire House voted to allow same-sex couples to marry.
It won just by a seven-vote margin and now lies in the hands of the Senate, although folks are unsure if Governor John Lynch will veto the measure if it passes the house. (He has stated he’s against marriage but signed a law allowing civil unions last year.)
Just don’t start praising the House yet – it also rejected a bill that would extend protections to transgender folks under the state’s anti-discrimination and hate crimes laws. There was a ton of pushback and even mockery by opponents of the measure, coining it, “the bathroom bill” (you know, the whole “horror” of the idea that trans men ...
