Feminists
Feminism has come a long way since Simone de Beauvoir and Gloria Steinem. In our post-modern times, girls look up to Sex and the City and The Hills for their feminist values.
The Best Buzz

Liquid Virgin
Culture Buzz Listen up, ladies! Now you can turn back time (well, if only for your V) with this ultra-creepy "tightening lubricant." It does exactly what you think it does. That sound you hear is the collective slamming of SUV driver's-side doors as wannabe-MILF's race to the finish to see who can find Liquid Virgin first. Alas, it's only available on teh netz. (Thanks for the tip, Sara!)

Bodysnarking
Culture Buzz When somebody posts an unflattering picture of someone on their blog or Facebook page, then invites others to comment about how terrible the subject’s dimpled thighs look. There are so many ways in which the blogosphere is just like junior high gym class.

Aliza Shvarts
Culture Buzz Yale art student Aliza Shvarts' senior art project documents a nine-month process during which she artificially inseminates herself while inducing miscarriages over and over. Her exhibition will feature video recordings of these forced miscarriages as well as preserved collections of the blood from the process. Finally, something that pro-lifers AND pro-choicers can agree on! Now both sides of the controversial debate can concur that gratuitous abortion art is pretty despicable.

“I Was Raped” T-Shirt
Politics Buzz Feminist writer Jennifer Baumgardener has created a T-shirt that reads "I was raped" as part of multimedia rape awareness project. Baumgardener aims to force the taboo issue of rape into everyday conversation. Not surprisingly, the T-shirt is causing a fair amount controversy. We wish people didn't rely as much on slogan T-shirts for topics of conversation.
-
Intellectualizing “The Hills”
TV Buzz The New York Times describes the third season of The Hills as having an "Antonioni plotlessness" and considers Heidi Montag to be some sort of "feminist hero." We wish we were still in college so we could write our women's studies thesis on the bastion of feminist theory that is The Hills. But we might consider writing an essay just for fun chronicling the Hegelian evolution of our brooding heroine LC, starting with her Laguna Beach days.

“Funny” Rape T-Shirt
Business Buzz A T-shirt reading "NO MEANS NO. Well maybe if I'm drunk" is removed from a retailer's website after widespread complaints. Adding insult to injury, the tasteless retailer replaced the offending garment with a T-shirt featuring a "Miss Bitch" graphic, and offered a 10% discount to readers of Feministing, the site that lodged the original complaint.
-
Women Are Dumb
Politics Buzz An article in the Washington Post entitled "We Scream, We Swoon. How Dumb Can We Get?" is generating outrage from bloggers. In the article, she accuses female Obama supporters of being silly groupies. Shouldn't the fact that Barack Obama is the new NKOTB be a step up for womankind? We just put in our orders for some "Women for Obama" baby tees.

Lybrel
Science Buzz The birth control pill that halts your period sparks a heated feminist debate. Ladies, it's time to throw out those period panties and dig out those white jeans. It'll be the most liberating thing you will ever do for yourself.
-
Feminist Porn
Culture Buzz A new book called Porn for Women features sensitive men in aprons. We wanted to warn you about this book because it is NOT actually porn! But wait, what is feminist porn? We won't get into it here; that's what freshman year at Smith College is for. But here are some links investigating this enigmatic topic.
-
Toxic Feminism
Culture Buzz Egalitarian societies show a link between forced gender equality and poor health. Sigh. If we could all just marry rich and stay at home making pottery all day, we'd lead long happy lives of joy and prosperity.
-
Women
Culture Buzz International Women's Day is today. If you've been noticing a lot of blog posts about women today, you're not hallucinating. There's still some time to celebrate. We'll be getting bikini waxes and and pampering our flaccid areoli with nipple tint. Girl power all the way!
-
Single Women Taking Over
Culture Buzz 51% of women are single and the hot new demographic, according to NY Times fluff piece. Remember the first time you saw Sex and the City and you were like, "these people can't be real"? Real people don't spend $600 on shoes, or make that many exceptionally dumb puns in everyday conversation. Unfortunately, they are real. And they are the majority.
-
Hairy Armpits
Culture Buzz Or rather, Women Who Rule The World. Yesterday we learned that Half-Jews control the media. Today we learn that there are actually women who are involved (100 of them to be exact) and that they are so busy, they don't even have time to shave their armpits. Feminism has finally been embraced!
