What if you found out that too much respect was hurting your orgasms? Being regarded as an equal in a marriage is great and everything, but would you give it all up if only it meant your partner still wanted to bang you? Or that you still wanted to bang him/her? Because marriages may be more equal than ever, but the…
On Monday, the Justice Department will extend federal benefits to all legally married same-sex couples regardless of whether they are living in a state that recognizes the marriage or not.
In December, the city council of Shreveport, Louisiana passed an ordinance banning housing and employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. What great news! Everyone in Shreveport must be throwing dance parties in the name of progress and RuPaul's Supermodel (You Better Work) — …
For the first time since 1996, the US Senate is poised to actually vote on the Employment Nondiscrimination Act, a piece of legislation that aims to make it illegal for employers to discriminate against employees based on their sexuality or gender identification. It's all very inspiring, and a testament to how far…
For the first time in its history, San Jose State University, California’s oldest state university, has a black homecoming queen AND king: seniors Daniel Harris-Lucas, 23, and Diana Busaka, 22, who received their crowns and sashes this Thursday.
Women are doing all the "man things" they can these days. Wars. Heavy lifting. Dangerous jobs. Cigars. Heart attacks. And men are doing more "lady things" than ever before, like expressing identifiable emotion and caring about children. They are really picking up the slack and the slacks. Get it? From off the floor?…
A group of artists have decided to hack the definition of marriage — one dictionary at a time.
Speaking at a women’s lecture series in Toronto, noted HGTV enthusiast Hillary Clinton dropped a bombshell. An atomic bombshell. No, fuck that — she terraformed the political landscape with a new and shocking statement. Clinton told the unsuspecting crowd that she’d like to see a woman become president of the…
In the great race towards the 21st century, the Church of England’s time machine may be several decades ahead of the time machines of the other big Christian institutions (I imagine them to be racing Mario Kart style, but of course everyone’s free to make use of their own whimsy). On Friday, the Church of England…
An intrepid tipster, as intrepid tipsters are liable to do, has sent us a pretty cool link to a cartoon created by animator Scott Benson. It’s called “But I’m a Nice Guy,” and sums up the fallacy lurking behind MRA screeds about rampant misandry and feminist conspiracies with a simple ice cream analogy that even the…
This beautiful and catchy song will make you cry — probably a lot.
Women can drive. I mean, of course women can drive. Anyone with the required faculties can drive, and the only possible reason a government can have for divesting women of the basic human right Henry Ford gave people to own a Model T and idle away hours of their lives in rush hour traffic is to limit their means of…
The future female leadership in the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints looks a little brighter after Sister Jean A. Stevens took to the dais at the church's semiannual General Conference in Salt Lake City to offer a benediction. It marked the first time in the memory of the church's leaders that a woman…
Some Republicans are having a change of heart about same-sex marriage — not tons, and not even a remarkable amount, but a few are. Last week, GOP Senator Rob Portman, citing influence from his gay son, said "I now believe that [gay] people ought to have the right to get married." He joined GOP members of the House…
Speaking at a Young Conservatives for the Freedom to Marry event on Monday, Meghan McCain said it's a "bitch" being a Republican who supports marriage equality. Umm...yeah. No doy. But good on her for sticking by her beliefs in what, on many occasions, must be a hostile situation.
Tomorrow, Queen Elizabeth II and all her corgis are expected to sign the 21st Century Commonwealth Magna Carta, which declares: "We are implacably opposed to all forms of discrimination, whether rooted in gender, race, colour, creed, political belief or other grounds." Apparently "other grounds" refers to sexual…
Ronda Rousey, Olympic judoka and holder of sundry MMA titles, won the Ultimate
Hugging
Fighting Championship's first-ever women's bout Saturday night, defeating an unfortunately overshadowed Liz Carmouche to secure the bantamweight title.
Get ready to be inspired and also feel incredibly lazy, because Fauja Singh is a 101-year-old who runs marathons. Damn you, Singh; now I feel like an even bigger jerk for skipping my walk-jog today. Obviously this is all your fault, you goddamned beautiful human being.
Just because Canada is the quiet, drafty loft perched on top of a really wild party full of drunk gunfighters, doesn't mean that badass stuff doesn't happen there. Why, just the other day I heard that some prankster printed a Norwegian maple leaf on Canadian currency. Also, Martin Brodeur. Neither of these Canadian…
