Thanks, Republican Party of Minnesota, for reducing intelligent women’s worth down to their looks. Truly a classy move. Make sure you watch the entire video — it gets even more ridiculous towards the end. Spoiler alert: Rosie O’Donnell’s head photoshopped onto the body of Khalid Sheikh Mohamme...

The logic goes that women should exercise their constitutional right to go topless in public, just like men do. Currently, women who go topless in public can be arrested and fined for doing so, but men have the right to bare arms, chest, stomach, and anything else above the belt without breaking the law. Question: Do you really want to be the female equivalent of those shirtless douche bags throwing frisbees in the park? If you do, you can participate in the following cities on this Saturday, August 22 (chosen because it precedes Women’s Equality Day, August 26th): New York City, New York Venice Beach, California Chicago, Illinois Miami Beac...

Aniston said, “Women are realizing more and more that you don’t have to settle. They don’t have to fiddle with a man to have that child.” Yes, that’s right — Aniston said that women don’t need men to have a baby. How. Dare. She. Bill O’Reilly said on Tuesday that Aniston’s comments were “destructive to our society.” If women realize they don’t need men to have a baby, what else will they think they can do on their own? Drive a car? Run a business? We’re so lucky that Bill O’Reilly is brave enough to tell the truth, no matte...

A March 2009 statement for the Commission on the Status of Women addresses the issue eloquently. “Breastfeeding and the equal sharing of responsibilities between women and men” is a joint statement of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine, the International Lactation Consultant Association, La Leche League International, and the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action. It frames and answers the gender quality question: As people increasingly strive for gender equality, the list of gender-linked tasks and responsibilities, which once were assigned to men ...
