The good, the bad, and the inequity
Slate has crunched the numbers and come out with a map (Lower 48 only, I might add) that shows how much the wage gap varies from state to state: In every state, women make a fraction of what men make. In some counties, they make half as much—or less. Women in Utah have it the…
Debate night: A binder full of women
So, Mitt Romney has a binder full of women. I wonder if that’s anything like the locker full of women many pubescent teens have. At any rate, this got me thinking about the good old days when I had binders for school. Or, better yet, when I had a Trapper Keeper. I can almost smell…
Feminist Files: Case of the Mondays
I’m nursing a sick two-year-old, so we’re gonna keep this quick: Mitt Romney hates you: And by you, I mean people who think food is an entitlement. I suppose now we’re going to be hearing about the 47% — those Romney claims don’t pay any income taxes. And I’m sure this is in part because…

I’m not sure who’s more happy about this nomination, my liberal friends or the conservatives who hate us. But one…
Feminist Files: For the boys
After an unscheduled bit of time off (my apologies), let’s get right into it: Boy meets world: Turns out, TV isn’t bad for you… if you’re a white boy. Anyone else — especially girls and boys of other races — not so much. Boys club: Former NFL defensive back Wade Davis came out last week,…
Obama comes out of the closet on same-sex marriage
As if we weren’t already looking down the barrel of a barn-burner of a presidential campaign season, President Barrack Obama just raised the stakes today by becoming the first sitting US president to come out in favor of same-sex marriage rights. (Kinda makes Vice President Joe Biden’s pro-equality comments last week — however hackneyed by…
March Madness: If we let Limbaugh yell “Slut!” the terrorists win
So, admitted drug addict and destroyer of “traditional” marriage Rush Limbaugh shouted “Slut!” into his microphone this week and the country has turned on a dime. (Cue: Sound of record scratch.) Well, well, well lookey what we have here, folks. We’ve got ourselves a good old-fashioned slut-shaming! Honestly, I feel a little disappointed in Rush.…
