Australian businesswomen are attempting to blame their lack of climb up the success ladder on a lack of nannies. Wait, what?! Okay. I get their anger with the business world. For starters, there is only 16.4 percent women on Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) 100 boards and only 68 boards with women on the ASX 200 ...
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” Wait. Whatever it is, it doesn’t really matter. Your job has already been predetermined. Scientists are now saying that “a person’s exposure to certain sex hormones in utero strongly predicts career choices made later in life.” The more testosterone you get while you’re cozy inside ...
We have all been in situations where we have let an unintentionally sexist comment slide. We don’t want to get into a fight or come across as rude, but one study shows that people like us better for bringing it up. It is time to step up to the feminist plate, ladies! We have been ...

She’s the college fantasy: the smart girl who takes off her glasses and transforms into a super-slut. What was once the stuff of wet dreams has now become reality, but some wonder whether it is really a nightmare. Anyone who has stepped into a frat house and survived the testosterone shock knows how the university ...
We know that men like sexy women, pretty faces, nice boobies, curvy figures, and beautiful hair. They also tend to be bosses and attain higher positions within businesses over women. So, do we use what we know to get ourselves ahead? Samantha Brick seems to think so. “If I had a choice of how to ...
If you’ve ever seen the movie Coyote Ugly, you were probably mildly entertained for the hour-and-a-half you sat through it and then put it in the dark recesses of your mind. Recently, it all came flooding back to me as I stepped into a Manhattan bar. My wildest dreams would come true if certain movies ...
If you’ve read any of Chuck Palahniuk’s novels, you know what he has some very strange female characters. Most of his books don’t even have many women in them. Take Choke for example: a book about a sexaholic man who meets women who ask him to fulfill their rape fantasies. The only almost-redeeming female character, a ...
Sportswomen have never been paid, respected or supported enough. And it doesn’t appear to be getting any better. Joining the grossly popular Lingerie Football League comes the Lingerie Basketball League, in which (yep, you guessed it) sportswomen compete in their underwear. When it comes to prostitutes, strippers, or any other women who use their sexuality as ...
