One quarter of all women with degrees in the United States end up childless. That is a lot. It hardly seems like something to worry about when the average American woman has 2.1 children. It’s enough to replace the population with a little room to spare. Yet we are currently in the middle of a ...
Any article that is entitled, “In the Workplace, What Can Women Learn From Men?” is a surefire way to piss me, and all of my other feminist buddies, the fuck off.

Since women are now outpacing men in higher education and breaking through professional barriers, it’s clear that the traditional idea of “division of labour” is out the window.

In the words of the incomparable Aretha Franklin, “We’re coming out of the kitchen.” Apparently women took this message literally. A recent study by the Good Food Channel found one in six women struggle with the culinary craft. The poll of 2,000 guys and gals revealed the average woman could only make around seven dishes ...
What if you were offered money to get pregnant — would you take it? Probably not, according to a new report. Many countries offer new parents financial incentives to boost their populations and these generally don’t work very well. But when childcare is on the table, women are much more likely to pregnant. This shouldn’t ...
The new birth control ad from Bayer makes me want to throw my remote through the television. The pill contains folic acid, for people who are taking birth control and then suddenly get pregnant. This doesn’t inspire confidence in the product for me, but then again, neither does the ad. A group of young, successful ...
Amazon.com WidgetsKill the Princess: Why Women Still Aren’t Free from the Quest for a Fairytale Life, has a title that created high expectations for me.
