In 2008 Female Masturbation Still Stirs Anxiety
It's often easier to reduce masturbation (and the women discussing it) to a dirty joke rather than to value it as a component of female vitality, a vitality which for many women is hard fought.

I though younger generations would never have to see the show Queen for a Day, where to the saddest people in America humiliate themselves. I was wrong.
When Madonna and Sarah Jessica Parker tell us that they eat anything they want, they aren't lying. They just don't want and need that much.
As a believer that Barack Obama is the presidential candidate most likely to pilot the mothership that is the U.S. government away from the black hole...
I recently watched a short clip of Oprah describing a magical moment in her redwood grove. She had visited this place in her garden a hundred times b...
I used the phrase so much back in my TV days that I have carried it with me to a new life of suburban mommy drudgery, and in fact I find myself pimping out my own toddler quite frequently.
As I headed to the store my car radio was tuned into BBC. I listened to an interview with Matt Flannery, the founder of Kiva.org, a new micro finance organization. I pulled over to take notes. Kiva was me, mine, a void filler in the finest form.
Winfrey handled the sexual abuse scandal so quickly, thoroughly and deftly that there's nothing more for anyone to say.
I think God is a big sassy black woman, and She sent Oprah down to spread the love. Let's be honest here. The last guy She sent wasn't too media sav...
Oprah, the smartest, richest, most successful person in the television business, decided to do a webcast. The demand that an Oprah-sized audience put on the Internet was just too great and the system crashed.
I met up with Pras in NY to discuss Skid Row, the documentary based on his time on the street living with 90,000 people in a 50 square block area.
Oprah got to the heart of the matter: institutions in which children are fearful and silenced are institutions that will sooner or later, inevitably, become abusive.
As I watched Oprah introduce Obama in Iowa, the two-by-four that hit me on the head wasn't: Oprah is for Obama. It was: Oprah is against the war.
Rarely do our suburban party discussions take us to settings beyond our backyards, but when they do, I'm happy to tout the open-minded, sympathetic, globally-concerned view that will digest well with wine and brie.
I have taken the liberty of pushing all this dreaming one step beyond, imagining an Oprah sitdown with the president. Here it is, without commercial interruption.
While the arguments challenging the Oprah-as-Jesus sententia could fill a studio audience, it's the talk show queen's brand new venture that, ironically, just might highlight the strongest of them.

Life without cheese is just not worth living. Particularly without d'affinois and other French double and triple creams!
Did you check out that menu? Absolutely lovely for people who either have personal chefs or plenty of time on their hands -- the average working person/parent doesn't even have time to shop for specialized ingredients, let alone prepare them.
Not so long ago the word 'vegan' was hardly known. Now it seems just about everyone has some idea: no flesh, no dairy, no eggs, no honey, no leather, no fur, no wool and whatever else belonged to the original owners. Thank you Oprah!
Oprah, the poor dear, was born in the wrong century.
Of the approximately 50 centuries of recorded human history, it is only in the last approximately 75 years that fat, overweight strudels like Oprah wouldn't be considered the belles of the ball. And, hey, make that just in the Western World because in most third world countries, those love handles that she's spent a good portion of her billion plus fortune trying to lose are actually considered....LOVE HANDLES.
Oprah, your genes are made to store fat...go forth and eat. If you don't you're going to continue to be miserable. And, hey, you're laughing all the way to the bank, so who cares if you look like Elizabeth Taylor circa 1975?
Seriously. Who Cares?
Probably about 7.8 million people who watch her show every day. Who cares what YOU think?
There is a lot of significance in the fact that we need to seriously address the grossly inhumane treatment of "food Animals" provided for our pleasure and profit, at the cost of tremendous, needless suffering on their part, while we blithely look away; and the fact that Oprah's action will hopefully make people conscious of that sad fact in regard to eating meat, which is not only un-necessary for our sustenance, but unhealthy and extremely destructive to the environment as well.
In addition to the terrible inhumanity, Corporate production of animals for our dining pleasure, as you say, extracts a huge toll on our planet. Except for a small amount of home-raised chicken and perhaps fish caught nearby, we will all be eating vegan very soon, IMO. We Americans live with a perpetual "Berlin Air Lift" of food and flowers flown in for our consumption and enjoyment. That can't continue for long at this rate of oil price increase. We each might examine the living of our life and think about how much oil and gas we use that is wasted. In the future, we will spend the lion's share of our travel time on our bicycles or feet. Our clothes will dry on a clothesline in the yard. We will suffer from the heat in the summer and have cold feet in the winter, just like our ancestors from as recently as three generations ago. This entropy is inevitable given the rapidly declining availability of cheap oil.
