In September, the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology changed their definition of what it means to be a board certified gynecologist: you can only treat women. "What?" you might be saying to yourself. "Hasn't that always been the case?" Nope, and this new limitation isn't a good thing.
The American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology has laid down a hard line: no boys allowed.
For the longest time, I didn't get the whole "moist" word aversion thing

Early today, Huffington Post published a list of the 23 women's fashion trends than men hate the most and it's very...informative? No, that's not the word I'm looking for...irrelevant? Yes, that's the one! Irrelevant! See, fellas, this may shock you, but on most occasions, most women aren't dressing to please your eyes …
Why are baby showers such utter hell? Is it the preciousness? Is it the ooh-ing? Is it the painstaking unwrapping of every single gift, including a rectal thermometer? What exactly is it that makes it such utter torture, and how can something that only lasts an hour be so awful? More importantly, why the hell haven't…
Conflict is bad. If you're fighting, something is wrong. Happy people never fight. Fights are OK but only rarely. Right? You've heard all this in the popular cultcha. And so it was with great excitement that I read about the couple who broadcasts all their fights on Twitter, because yes and finally! People who aren't…
In recent years, marketers have noticed a strange, unnatural trend among American men. Normally doing man things like chopping down trees, climbing ropes, and carrying 100 lbs of bison meat back to the wagon, thanks to the MANCESSION, The American Men have been doing other things like purchase goods and services. …
Not to brag, but I've spent years of my life with various Unemployed Boyfriends. None of them were lazy (well one of them was lazy); they'd just been dealt a shitty hand or were trying to make it in an industry that just wasn't that into them. The good news is that, as far as I'm (intermittent Facebook stalk) aware,…
There's a fascinating post over at Collectors Weekly about the first "hunk," Eugen Sandow, and the history of objectifying muscular male bodies. In 1894, when Sandow became famous, it wasn't for actually lifting things, strongman style. It was for just posing and looking fine.
Question: Why do women get madder and madder as they ponder something irritating and stupid even when there's no point? Because shoes. No really, so, according to Redbook, men are terrified to talk to women, but it's not their fault: Ladies be confusin'. What with the talking and the mysterious food purchases, it's a…

Hey, remember this guy
Even though the title of sexiest banker was given out long ago (Meredith Whitney, duh), some who work in finance remain unsatisfied, I guess. What other possible explanation would there be for a banking career website to sponsor a "sexiest banker poll" and invite users to vote? And what deep, all-consuming sadness would …
Comparing women to food and beverages is a tired trope of douchebaggery that's even older than the guys who think those jokes are funny. But that hasn't stopped "ladies be like food..." comparisons from being the scourge of everything from novelty Spencers Gifts bath mats to articles about... wine.
Independent, emotionally stable men can be boring. Not only do they lead their own successful lives, they also make for terrible, drama-free relationship posts on your blog. You need a man with insecurities - the kind of guy who will shed a tear watching Titanic with you, or shed a tear watching How It's Made with…
Looking to make a quick $1,500? Well, all you have to do is help this 39-year-old Austinite find the — not fat, not black, long-haired, unselfish, non-tattooed (SOME exceptions), non-bespectacled, childless (and not ever wanting children) (which is a good thing, because boyfriend should NOT reproduce), positive, warm, …
Lately we've been talking a lot about men and how they are doing more than ever to embrace women's progress and challenge old notions of masculinity. But that doesn't mean it isn't confusing for them. The pressure is still there to be "men," whatever that means, and, in fact, it seems no one is sure what it actually…
Grab your exorcism kits, fellow women: some sort of terrible deamon has found its way into the heart of at least five British men, who are now shaving their legs because they think it looks nice and feels nice and is a pretty okay thing to do.
Philosopher Sandra Lee Bartky once observed that being feminine often means using one’s body to portray powerlessness. Consider: A feminine person keeps her body small and contained; she makes sure that it doesn’t take up to much space or impose itself. She walks and sits in tightly packaged ways. She doesn’t cover…
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? But…
Emphasis on updo.
This week, the former student body President at the University of Texas named Thor published a blog post entitled "What I've Learned About Women."
