Vermont's Gendertopia

by Ashley Brittner

Over the past couple of months, shy, inconspicuous Vermont has become my favorite state of the union. It's not because of the scenery from Camel's Hump mountain, the bitchin' maple syrup or the hundreds of snowmobiling clubs. No, I admire Vermont's recent standing as the 4th state to legalize gay marriage and for the after school program at Burlington High School called Gendertopia. The...

We’ve taken a slight break from covering Twilight news on the blog because we thought our vampire jokes might be sucking the life out of you (zing!), but the New Moon trailer aired earlier this week and posting it here became as irresistible as Bella’s sweet-smelling heroin plasma. Warning: The following video contains clunky dialogue, paranormal teen angst, and more damsel-in-...

Saturday is upon us again, bringing with it late mornings, strolls in the park, treasure-filled estate sales, and… FEMINIST LOLZ! (Cue electric guitar solo here)

You know what they say, a lack of critical thinking killed the cat. This one should be okay then.

Oh, Rush Limbaugh. Maybe feminists can’t stand you, but it looks like you’ve got a fan here with...

I try to think of a theme when I'm making mixes; for my friends, as a DJ and on these here BitchTapes. This week, however, the only theme tying these songs together is that I like them. Ergo, this week's BitchTapes is aptly titled the Heavy Rotation Edition. There's a random Led Zeppelin cover, new music from Peaches and Passion Pit and the best Pat Benatar song you may never have heard. Get...

Belinda Luscombe over at Time Magazine sparked an online debate yesterday regarding an internet-only Budweiser commercial that makes light of pornography purchasing. Says Luscombe, because it [the commercial] comes from a highly respected American brand, it seems to mark some kind of cultural tipping point, where pornography has soaked so far into the fabric of mainstream culture that it...

These days, the ham-fisted methods used by professional sports teams to recruit women into their fan base (and thus their customer base) are not particularly hard to spot—just look for the pink jerseys.

It's Feminism's Fault!: PJ O'Rourke Edition

by Kelsey Wallace

“I blame feminism and Facebook for the death of the American automobile.” So said NPR’s PJ O’Rourke on NPR’s Morning Edition earlier today. According to O’Rourke, feminists are to blame for the auto industry’s decline because at some point in the 70s we stopped putting out in the backseats of cars and starting going to work instead. WTF, PJ?
