5 Feminist Demands She Wants You to Ignore. →
I will spare you reading this awful “article” that Fox News republished from Ask Men by summarizing it for you: “No means yes!” Pro-tip for Fox News/Ask Men: putting a picture of a woman in a bikini as the main picture for an article on feminism is probably a bit misleading. P.S. This piece has 3k likes on facebook. You read that right. 3000.

Obama Administration Approves Rule That Guarantees... →
Today, in a huge victory for women’s health, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced that most employers will be required to cover contraception in their health plans, along with other preventive services, with no cost-sharing such as co-pays or deductibles. This means that after years of trying to get birth control covered to the same extent that health plans cover...

A friendly reminder: Do NOT leave your wallet or...
I know that sounds like common sense, but I just saw a woman’s wallet get stolen right out of her cart at Whole Foods. Her wallet was right by her, in the child seat part of the cart. As she turned to put something in her cart for just a second, a man walked by and stole it without her even noticing. So even when you think you know where your wallet or purse is, or that it’s safe,...
