Shorts really bother me. It’s summer and it’s hot and pants are too long and it’s too hot and sweaty between my legs for a skirt, but shorts, which would be perfect, are just not designed for normal sized women. When I walk they ride up between my legs and no matter what I do ...
Men don’t understand women. Women train their boyfriends to behave the way they want. It’s all a bit nuts, if you ask me. One men’s magazine has said that women have brainwashed men into behaving certain ways and doing things for them. What do we think about this? Read on.

Dear Madame X, My sister likes to wear low cut tops and she is a real flirt. We are having an anniversary dinner for my parents and inviting all sides of the family, many people who don’t know her very well. I’m worried she’ll cause a scene. We’re used to her sitting on laps and ...
It can be a lonely world for transsexuals who often feel like they don’t belong with people of either gender. The world’s first transsexual supermodel has hit the runways and with so much attention on who she really is she probably has it worse than anybody.
I started this post wanting to trash Lady Gaga. I can’t understand all the unconditional love (especially the folks at Jezebel, for whom feminism is a job), the flattering comparisons to other musicians, the obvious fashion-marketing-ploy-turned-philosophy.

Are you one of those women who rips of her high heels as soon as she gets home from the office and breathes a great sigh of relief? Have you wondered how the Carrie Bradshaws of this world do it without suffering? I know I do. Science has just proven that if you can get ...
If the eyes are the windows to the soul, then why not remodel your tiny panes with some floor to ceiling action? Wide-eyed contact lenses have been in Asia for decades but have just made the leap to the New York Times thanks to Lady Gaga. But they could make you blind, experts warn. Lady ...
Finally butch women can buy suits that aren’t made for men. The Butch Clothing Company (BCC) has just opened in Brighton, UK aiming to clothe butch women for their weddings. Suits that are masculine, but not for men, will be a great option for other proud butch lesbians like the shop owner Shaz Riley. “Butches don’t ...
We’ll latch onto anything to climb out of this recession depression. Apparently the new trend in men’s bathing suits, less is more, indicates that the economy is about to turn around. I know when I see strong indicators of financial growth I start looking for a banana hammock.
I love skirts. They’re comfortable and allow for maximum movement and airflow. Infinitely better than shorts for keeping cool in the summer. Which is why I am so happy that men have finally discovered them. Hopefully the Japanese will do what the Scots failed at, and convince boys everywhere to drop trou and slap on ...

Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship. ~...
Are you a couple? Aren’t you? Maybe it’s just complicated. Thanks to xkcd.
