There's no doubt that women have to choose between family and a certain career tier. Adequate workplace policies just don't exist to give women the opportunity to do both. But taking issue with that fact isn't whining, it's advocating for progress.

While making strident sweeping statements about women, facebook and photographs, Katie's piece doesn't leave any room for other reasons women might as she says, "hide behind photos of their kids."

Working alongside the men, rather than in the room next door, seemed to us the best way to reach the Downing Street Project's goal -- not just the women.

Scores of women stressed beyond belief by working seven days a week to try and hold onto our businesses? Sisters, a pair of big girl panties is all any of us need!

Michelle Obama isn't the only one flexing her right to bare arms. The millions of women proclaiming their friends as Mom of the Year this past week is nothing short of a national mom uprising.

I've been working for women's rights in Washington, D.C. since the Carter days and I have never seen anything like these first days. The pace is fast, and the outreach is inclusive.

When you think of the beautiful natural world, do you think, "I want the environment to be as clean as my vagina." No? Well, maybe you should.

While one has every right to oppose abortion, one should not necessarily have a right to do so while occupying the scarce and precious position of an obstetrics resident.

The question remains: why do they make us laugh? And why is it so hot when they do? This is why: there is a sexual undercurrent to the comedy of Flight of the Conchords. It is largely unremarked upon.
