So I don’t have bad karma every Thanksgiving I must say I love the spirit of this holiday. The idea is similar to Christmas and Easter in that you get together with family you may have not seen in awhile to catch up, eat and celebrate some time off work. Now that I have pacified ...
Boys have always been known to be the video game players and sport-lovers, loving the mixture of the two with sports games like Madden Football, NCAA Basketball, FIFA, Tiger Woods and NHL. All of them feature real-life game playing and characters, well… male characters. But not all of these sports are just for men to ...
An article in the New York Times, recently brought to my attention, stated that the number of American men age 65 and older had increased by 21 percent from 2000 to 2010 – apparently almost double the growth rate for the number of older women over the same time. This might have been due to ...
In the past couple years, African women athletes have been swarmed with question marks surrounding their gender. Caster Semenya was tested to determine if she was really a man after winning the 800 metre race at the 2009 World Championships. Semenya’s talent triumphed over questions of gender and she got to keep her gold medal, ...
When the words “women” and “football” are used in the same sentence, it is often to describe half naked cheerleaders or the Lingerie Football League. It is pretty safe to say that football can be at times misogynistic, seeing as how the only way a female team can get on TV is if they play ...
Women like American football. The ladies watching are not pliable girlfriends trying to make a good impression or beleaguered wives trying to snatch a few moments with their husband — they’re fans. Sunday Night Football is third highest rated show for women between 18 and 49. The NFL knows this and has begun a huge marketing ...
I was going to write about the wonders of sport that so many women miss out on, but I was too distracted by the World Cup. Luckily, women are not as hypnotized by this event so journalist extraordinaire Claire Daly was able to take the reins this week to explain why it’s just a game. (I’m ...
If you didn’t think the owners of the Lingerie Football League would get any sleazier, you’d be wrong. They just put two of their best players on probation for wearing their team uniforms during a pre-approved photoshoot, complaining that the women were not naked enough. They were wearing a bra, panties and shoulder pads. Quarterback ...
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? I just believe in women’s rights, I’m not having gender-reassignment. OK?), attempts to map the sexism inherent in the press, without inadvertently saying anything lecherous about breasts.
Are you ready for some football? Then this probably isn’t for you. The new Lingerie Football League (LFL) is off and running, taking bras and talent with it. There are ten teams who compete to go on to play in the Lingerie Bowl VII on February. Who will take it? Will it be Dallas Desire? ...
