I peaked, size wise, at the age of 10, when I bought my first training bra — that, with a bit of a tug across the torso, could certainly fit my bust line today. Vacillating between the funny gray area of a size 32AA and 32A (depending on the time of the month), as an adult woman my breasts hardly heave, but rather…
If you love subversive, macabre art, then these Victorian Dolls are for you. Along with the self-disemboweling one, there's also a porcelain figurine with an open throat wound, one with half its skull exposed, and one that's decapitated. And looking so ladylike the whole time!
Here and there the media becomes interested in the sexualization of little girls and, when they do, I often get a call from a reporter or two. I’ve yet to see any of them pick up on what I think is the really interesting story. They want to talk about child models, little girls in beauty pageants, and the …
Springboarding off of an infamous USA Today infographic (and utilizing a handy Wild, Wild West conceit), finance oracle Whitney Johnson tried her darnedest to unravel the mystery about why female leaders are still a relative rarity in the wide world of investing. It's certainly a puzzle, because, although women are…
Let's hold hands as we stroll through this freshly-laid scientific minefield — Republican women in the House of Representatives generally, suggests a new study in the growing "social vision" branch of social science, have more "stereotypically feminine features" than their Democratic counterparts. Not only that, but…
Women of Brooklyn, are your manners feeling not-so-fresh? Well, state Senator Marty Golden may be just the douche you need to make sure you don't leave a bad taste in the mouths of future potential employers who are looking for a lady who can walk and talk like how ladies are supposed to walk and talk. That's right —…
In theory, it's a good fall season for ladies on television — there are a considerable crop of new shows that are centered on women. The shows may not be good but at least they exist, we guess (must! stay! optimistic!). However, television's latest offerings haven't completely forgotten about the menfolk, and the fall…
Ships, cars, countries — people ascribe gender to all these things, even though none of them have genitals. But a new study reveals an even weirder mental habit — people apparently think of odd numbers as male, while even ones are female.
Ladies, don't make your men do womanly tasks. Performing women's work will threaten their manhood and fill them with rage and anxiety, which can only be alleviated by punching things. This is science.
When I was young, my mother told me it was more important to be smart than feminine.
Although women make up half of the nation's workforce, they hold only 16.4% of corporate offices in the Fortune 500, 14.7% of Fortune 500 board seats and 1.6% of Fortune 500 CEO positions (Catalyst 2007). So what's new here?
"'We live in more of a pussy generation now,' Clint Eastwood told Esquire magazine last year." So begins Katherine Miller's rant on — you guessed it — the decline of manhood. Did you know that guys wear scarves now?
If you're not getting ahead in your career, it's probably because your crotch stinks.
You may know that Angelina's part in Salt was written for Tom Cruise. But as As Jay A. Fernandez writes: "No actress in Hollywood history has been able to chisel out the supremacy Jolie has in a male-dominated genre."
My first reaction to Jessica Floeh's line of insulin pump accessories — cleverly named Hanky Pancreas — was clear and uncomplicated: those are so pretty and I want them.
According to a new study, women in countries with poor national health prefer men with more masculine faces. Masculinity is supposed to correlate with genetic fitness, which would make Darwin proud. But is it really that simple?
Researchers report that facial expressions play a major role in gender identification. Faces showing happiness or fear are seen as feminine, while scowling faces are read as masculine. Apparently, angry female faces "took the longest to identify." [UPI]
I'm not sure how to read this Tina Brown article about Hillary Clinton (and "The Woman Thing"). It's like Brown wants to compliment the Secretary of State, but she only knows how to express that via negging.
Artist Chad States has taken a series of photos of "Men At Their Most Masculine," and the results are actually both charming and thought-provoking.
The Washington Post's Robin Givhan is rather disappointed in Judge Sonia Sotomayor's latest sartorial decisions, deeming her choice of professional attire at last week's historic confirmation hearings not nearly feminine enough. What?
