Ladies, it's Time to Ask for a Raise. Well, unless you just started your job, and then perhaps you should chill out, OK? Damn, greedy. But the rest of us need to slip into our GSD pants (opposite of eating pants) and march straight to the boss person's office and GET PAID as if the economy — and our shoe closets* —…

Many Millennial dudes are down with the ideas of girls ruling the world, but some aren't so sure about all the freebies women are being handed just because of their concave nether regions. After all, couldn't this all end in ladies controlling all the powerful and prestigious jobs, earning more money for doing the…

When I was a kid, I hated babysitting. First of all, you have to hang out in someone else's house, touching someone else's filth, in fear of clogging someone else's toilet, for HOURS. For an awkward shy kid like me, that is fucking terrifying. It's just endless low-grade "what if I'm pooping in the special-occasion…

Hey, you know this shit where we systematically treat all women who are not Helen Mirren like untouchable garbage as soon as they hit 40? It's a problem. We see it in sitcoms, where uniformly schlubby husbands bed uniformly "hot" wives. We see it on reality TV, where older women who dare to express sexuality are mocked…

It can also lead to a Facebook outcry of, "Whuuut? You're a girl???" when a popular science blogger reveals her…

Now, even I'm not a goofy enough feminist stereotype to get all up-in-arms about 17th-century witch-burning as a tangible, pressing, current lady-problem. Buuuuuut...sometimes (all the times) we do feel the echoes of long-past injustices in our largely mundane modern lives. And aren't thought experiments fun? On the…

Self-aware woodland creature Zooey Deschanel teamed up with Hello Giggles partner Sophia Rossi started a production company, and they just inked a deal with 20th Century Fox TV. This is exciting news; these women are focused on lady empowerment, and they're in a position to do something about it in a very public…

Here's a fun game: name five of your favorite directors. Now name five prominent male directors who released movies in the past year. Now name five female directors of…ever. I am a professional actress who, at 21, has worked in Hollywood for the past 12 years, and I can count on one hand the females I've worked under.…
