Bonnie, thanks for your response. These are very complicated and delicate issues, which is why so often we'd all prefer to just sip our lattes and talk about something else. One problem is that we don't even have a common language for discussion. We can't Read More...

Just a quick note to welcome EJ Graff to our midst! EJ, thanks for the great post . I just finished reading a terrific law review article by Judith Kaye—the chief judge of New York's Court of Appeals—and Anne C. Reddy, looking at why women haven't caught Read More...

Hey y'all, I am delighted to be joining this brilliant assembly. For my first post here, I'd like to point out that Mother's Day is coming up. A year ago I wrote a great deal about how the news media gets working mothers' issues all wrong—talking about Read More...

Slate 's Gabfest team has been searching since March for the best sports metaphor for the 2008 presidential campaign, with boxing, Quidditch, Monopoly, and cricket taking the lead. But the Kentucky Derby this past weekend, in which a filly named Eight Read More...

I'm afraid that blogging on "women's content" might bring out the bitch in me. After a Fray poster linked to the wowowow.com Web site in response to Rachael's Shine comments earlier this week, I cattily e-mailed my fellow XXers about Wowowow's co-founder Read More...

While everyone has been busy analyzing the campaign of the first viable female presidential candidate and gossiping about rumors of a possible female vice presidential candidate ; while we've got women running the House of Representatives and telling Read More...

My friend Corey Owens takes me to school for last week's gender-based generalizations . . . . Guest post follows: Not to stand between you and your spitball-straw, but "...if women ever ran the country"...?!? Come on. The not-so-subtle suggestion that Read More...

In just over a week, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in the most important gun rights case of our lifetimes. And two days ago, the student body president for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was shot to death in a residential Read More...

I hear you, Hanna and Emily et al.—OK, pretty much everybody, now—and no doubt you're right, but I have to confess that I don't feel entirely ready for this to be over. I like this contest. I like the analysis and entrail-reading. I like getting up in Read More...

So glad that Ann pointed readers to the save-the-time-use-survey campaign. It would be heartbreaking to lose a source like that, which—like reports by the National Center for Health Statistics, and the Census Bureau—offer such valuable real-time snapshots Read More...

Like Liza, I am not a huge fan of the b-word; how about we send Cindy to that boy's house? Tina Fey's "Bitch is the New Black" joke about how it takes women mean as nuns to get things done is funny—as was Hillary, in her good-natured appearance on this Read More...

At the risk of dignifying the inane with more indignation than it's worth, did the Washington Post really run, as one of its main weekend Outlook pieces, an essay whose sole point is to argue that women are dumb ? The writer, Charlotte Allen, describes Read More...

Torie, You and Jezebel are right that Heather Mac Donald goes off the rails with her rant against drunk college girls . Which is too bad, because before that, she was making an important point. At first I wondered, why is she rehashing this now? Because Read More...

As Oscar host, Jon Stewart let the woman talk! He deserves an award of his own—a plate of brownies, maybe?—for bringing the silenced Markéta Irglová , who won for best original song but got the hook before she could open her mouth, back onstage to have Read More...

Granted, Tim , the timing is convenient for Patti Solis Doyle's mommy crisis. But couldn't both versions of events be true for Hillary's former campaign manager? Say your life's work is going down in flames—to the point that One Life to Live seems more Read More...
