You’re lying there unconscious. Without your consent a guy slides something inside of you to get a better look. Rape? Nope. Merely a teaching exercise for medical students to learn about pelvic exams.

Birds do it. Bees do it. Even moss covered trees do it. Let’s do it. Lets look like naughty bits. We like looking at naked people. On some level we are all five years old and the idea of someone having a pee-pee is hilarious. This is even more true when the owner of the ...

I’m a bitch. I embrace the word. It means I’m strong and savvy. The thing is, this is not how a lot of people use it. A judge has ruled that “bitch” is offensive, especially when used to refer to a man. She’s right, right?

You’re a bad mother. No kids? That’s why. A new study has come out informing working women that having a baby over the age of 30 is practically a miraculous event, and that having kids over 40 is actually evidence of the Rapture.

A weather-beaten eye cast over the media: HatManJim looks at a story in the headlines and as a feminist with a penis (Menimist? Femi-meni-mist?

Scott Roeder, the murderer of Dr. Tiller, one of only a handful of those who perform late-term abortions in the USA, was sentenced to life in prison today. I am glad this has happened but it scares me that Roeder’s supporters say that “the outcome would only encourage more violence.”

The British Government is going to allow fathers and mothers to share parental leave with up to three of the legal nine months being available to fathers and an additional three months unpaid.

Last week a study came out from Britain that concluded the g-spot does not exist. The French have responded to the British announcement that the g-spot does not exist by declaring the study as flawed and saying that around 60% of women do have a g-spot.
