The Feminal is a traveling urinal for women, ...

The Feminal is a traveling urinal for women, designed to be used in a reclined, seated or standing position. It differs from the Magic Cone and the Shenis in that the leak-proof seal makes it so you don't even have to stop driving if you gotta go real bad. [Comfort House]

Why It's About Time For A President With A Long Index Finger To Wag

Moe — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:00:05 EST

What is it with women who preface statements with "I'm definitely not a feminist"? Now, I personally don't go around calling people I am a feminist, in part because of all those old Candace Bushnell columns in which flimsy freeloading unemployed socialites constantly excuse their unrelenting pursuit of sugardaddiness by saying "I'm a feminist," but that same anecdote goes to show you just how benign the word really is, right? I mean, equal status accorded to men and women — that's a no-brainer, right? Okay, well, now comes Helen Fisher, a renowned anthropologist, Match.com consultant and World Economic Forum speaker on the subject of the differences between women. She starts her speech, "I'm definitely not a feminist..."

And then goes on to basically say men are from Mars and women are from Venus. In brief:

Women are capable of thinking about more things at once and being more emotionally intelligent. Their screenplays are subtler, more ambiguous, and more complex. (Ever tried to get a guy to watch, say, Friends With Money? Yeah.) Years of having do deal with kids and chores and errands and cooking and sewing has evolved us into longer-term thinkers, better "multitaskers", better investors. They like to gather more data before making decisions, whereas men make all their choices as if they're going to die tomorrow.

Men are hunters, focusers, better in the short term, in the moment, more analytical; more direct, less complex, write more plot-driven screenplays.

So far so duh. And guess what? Testosterone is the culprit. How long is your ring finger compared to your index finger, Dr Fisher wants to know. If your ring finger's longer...you're less likely to care think about the long-term impact on the union symbolized by the ring on it before you fuck that cute intern because you've got more testosterone. And if your index finger is longer, the...better to wag it angrily in response?

Hey wait! But Tracie, and Anna and I all have longer ring fingers. Is evolution already working to combat these old stereotypes? (Bc I am the worst multitasker on the universe!)
Whatever. Speaking as a manly girl, I am sick of these studies that so confirm how inherently superior women are to men that you have to preface them by saying, "And I'm in no way telling you this just because I'm a feminist..." We already have to work for their dumb, overconfident, emotionally-stunted, all-trees-no-forest all-gut-no-intuition short term-obsessed "hunter" asses. Fuck spending any more time worrying about their motherfucking pride.

We Will Eat Your Babies, Slash Your Tires

We intimidated you with the girth of our shenises.
We threatened to gnaw on your babies.
We encouraged you to embrace the psycho within.
We mourned for a red sox widow.
We pondered the intentions of American Apparel ads.
Oprah told us that we have ADD.

And finally, we bid a sad farewell to our fearless leader for the next two weeks, and said hello to our substitute hardened cynic.

The Shenis, Or, What Happens When Girls Pee Standing Up

Slut Machine — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 11:00:00 EDT

After hearing about the Shenis, a 12-inch-long, hollowed-out penis that enables women to pee standing up, it was clear what we needed to do: Order a few and engage in a pissing contest. [These ladies are my heroes. -Ed.] Yesterday afternoon, four of us gathered on a rooftop in Brooklyn, where we chugged beer, wine and water and then assumed the male pee position. Above, a video of our urinary escapade, made with love by Alex Goldberg, and after the jump, stills from the session.

We put the Shenises in our pants and pretended to be male porn stars.

This shot sorta sums up our afternoon filming: Shenis, alcohol, makeup.

The Shenis (yes, sounds like "penis"!) is a hollowed out, 12-inch long fake penis intended for women to use as a tool to pee while standing up. As its creator Kiki Curry states in the video clip above, it's great for hiking, boating, peeing outdoors, and intimidating men! And while we don't like doing physical activities in nature, we'd love to try this out while drunk on the streets of New York. P.S. Kiki Curry is our new fave kook.
