Oma: Just remember, Danielle...Men are all the same. Why should they buy the cow if they can have the milk for free?!

Frustrated, I wonder - Who wants to be a friggin' cow, anyway, Oma? Doesn't this imply not only objectification and a sense that women are objects and commodities...

On Sexist Media Coverage of Hillary Clinton

Jessica Wakeman | Posted April 27, 2008 | Media

Espousing feminist viewpoints is so often really not cool -- in fact, feminists even have our own joke about how humorless we are:

JOKE: How many feminists does it take to change a light bulb?
PUNCHLINE: That's not funny.

(And that's the clean punchline.)

Whether they call themselves a...

Katie Halper | Posted April 21, 2008 | Media

In case anyone missed Wednesday's tragic-comic debate and needs more proof that the fourth estate is third rate, Chris Matthews was more than happy to oblige on Friday's Real Time with Bill Maher. Not only did Matthews contradict reality, he contradicted himself.

As usual, Matthews spoke from a position...

Horton Hears a Racist

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar | Posted April 16, 2008 | Politics

Barack Obama is my choice for president. I've already explained why in previous posts. But if Obama isn't elected, it would be hard to blame racism. Republicans aren't going to vote for him, not because he's black, but because, even worse, he's a Democrat. And for the most part, Obama...

I still don't know why Sallie and I bothered to go to that party in the forest slope above Aspen. The people were all older than us and dull in a distinguished way, old enough that we, at forty-ish, passed...

I live for moments of ironic incongruity, so you can imagine how amused I was when, yesterday, various celebrity gossip sites posted the following pictures of Pamela Anderson -- one-woman brand-maker for Playboy, Stuff, GQ, Baywatch, V.I.P. and numerous other my-boobs-move-media devices -- reading Unmarketable: Brandalism, Copyfighting, Mocketing and...

What if You Gave a Revolution and CNN Didn't Come?

Rev. Debra Haffner | Posted April 14, 2008 | Living

You probably didn't hear about it. I thought perhaps I had just missed the television and press coverage, but when I Googled it, I didn't find any key national news stories. Entertainment press covered the benefit, local press covered the event, but such sources as the New York Times, CNN,...

For those (including Katie Couric) who think criticism of her is sexist in nature, here's a clue: Monday's Howard Kurtz interview with Ms. Couric is replete with quotes that exemplify what one might call the Couric Problem:

When was the first time you dieted?

For me, the game began early. I remember a stupid, scrawny boy who shall remain nameless (Matt) calling me a cow in the fourth grade, and soon after, trying multiple single-food diets (only lettuce! only bacon!) Those lasted about a day each. I...

There are many reasons people don't get ahead or why a career stalls. Excuses abound as to the rationale, usually headed up by the well-known "isms." We've got sexism and of course racism, plus the universally maligned ageism, because it's the one "ism" to which every single one of us...

Did outrage over a video game promoting sexist stereotypes about women prompt a reaction from the game's founders?

MissBimbo.com attracted a lot of media attention last week because it's super-preposterous. The game goes like this: a player creates a young female avatar and is given "bimbo dollars" to go...
