For too long, women have been forced to endure the tyranny of hotel rooms that were not designed specifically to meet their needs. But good news: our collective suffering is over because there is a new trend of hotels creating rooms that are just for women. What, exactly does this mean? Well, at the Dukes London, it means "fresh flowers, women's magazines and size-appropriate slippers and robes and female staff members who are escorts at check-in." Vancouver's Georgian Court Hotel has the Orchid Floor, a special women's only floor where the rooms are equipped flat irons, yoga mats and beauty products. A hotel in Copenhagen also has a floor that's only accessible to female guests using a key card. More »

A new study shows that for people with heart disease, "sexual activity generally is safe and no more strenuous than golf." That's provided that you do it "with a familiar partner in a familiar setting," so sex on the golf course is apparently out (unless that's your regular thing). Still, this is a study that's veritably begging for its corresponding Viagra commercial. More »

Here we all were thinking the cocaine-smeared baby changing tables of the world were bad, but it turns out it can get a lot worse. Thanks to one missing letter, this innocent public changing table has been transformed into a terrifying baby-hanging apparatus. Though with a label like that, only a sick freak would do coke anywhere near it, so, ironically, it's probably the cleanest place available to change your baby. More »

A new study from the National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research reports that high school cheerleading accounts for 65.1% of all catastrophic sports injuries among girls, making it one of the most dangerous high school sports for girls. However, the study fails to mention that most girls are cut out of aggressive team sports like football and hockey, which inflates the amount of injuries in cheerleading compared to other "girl's sports." That isn't to say cheerleading isn't serious business (we've all seen Bring It On) and girls can take just as many physical risks as boys when there is a competition at stake. [LiveScience] More »

An American hiker in the Bavarian Alps who was stranded for 3 days was rescued after she attached her sports bra to a cable used by lumberjacks to get their attention. • A new study has found that men are more likely to share their creative work online than women. • Lesbians are barred from donating blood in China because they are semantically lumped in with gay males and therefore thought of as being "high-risk" for HIV. • How long until there is a mass squealing conservative outrage over this JC Penney "teen sex" ad? • Strippers are suing top strip joints in L.A. over unpaid wages and tips and making the strippers pay other workers in the clubs. • Oh, also, high gas prices are hurting legal brothels in Nevada that relied heavily on randy truckers with extra (probably company) cash. Hard times. • The U.N. Security Council unanimously approved a resolution to reclassify rape as a "weapon of war." It's about time. • Female college students in England have been warned about whistling at construction workers near their college. However, no complaints have been made and no women have come forward about the whistling. More »
