Men's sex advantage in some sports is not a sexist myth, as The Nation would have you believe.

How long will it be before one of those pistol-packing town-hallers, driven to the brink by publicly aired hate-talk, pulls his gun, and then its trigger?

Whether directed at an individual or a group, rankism aims to put targets in their place and keep them weak so they will do as they're told and submit to being taken advantage of.

SELF takes the focus off her talent by making us focus on what they see as the money shot... a version of Clarkson that doesn't exist.

Hillary didn't "lose her cool." All I saw is a woman who has spent her entire life trying to be her own person, and despite her best efforts, is being deprived of the opportunity to do so.

The violence of Tony Soprano and swagger of Don Draper are a cover for the quiet desperation Matthew Weiner sees in all of us. They are liars who want to be what they are not.

We don't need a fight to the death between men and women to see who is "better." Rather we need to be identifying those qualities women tend to have that make them transformational leaders.

While it may seem like watching Mad Men is like opening an archive to the past, I think we watch it because its themes are symbolic to the present.

In the end, feminism isn't about angry girls burning their bras, or about getting back at men: it's about redefining the way we see ourselves and the way we treat ourselves.

Pardon the sexism, but a question: Why are girls so girly? For the better part of the past half-century, feminists, their opponents and armies of aca...

Apparently, Megan Fox is stupid. I wouldn't know personally -- I've never seen her do an IQ test. So what heinously thick comments has this 23-year-old embodiment of male fantasies made?

It's long since time to retire the sexist notion that women only go to movies that have "women's" issues or have "feminine-friendly" subplots.

The feud between David Letterman and Governor Sarah Palin has ended for now with an apology from Dave on his show and an acceptance by Ms. Palin in th...

The well being of whole societies is closely correlated not with average income level but rather with the size of the disparity of income between the top 20% and the bottom 20%.

For the first time since she has been in the public spotlight, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was able to talk her way into an issue that really resonated with the masses.

Palin's positions on many women's issues are the polar opposite of most feminists. Is that a reason to vilify her in the press?
Amy Siskind | Posted 07.12.2009 | Politics
How would any one of us feel if Letterman's comment about Palin's daughter were directed at our daughter? And if Governor Palin were Governor "Sam" Palin, would he dare to make that joke?

Even before the nominee was announced, there were already hints of bias against female candidates. Gender stereotypes appear to animate these critiques.

If the RNC thinks this is the way to attract people to their Party they've evidently decided that women won't be a respected member of their tribe.

By choosing a racist, sexist, hate spewing entertainer over a respected, fair ex-general, Cheney is illustrating the new ugly face of the Republican party.

As soon as women or minority groups are given their own somewhat trashy entertainment, it's suddenly a problem for culture at large.

My God. Sweet, Queefing Jesus. I don't think I've ever seen a better argument for feminism on mainstream television.
