90210 vs. Melrose Place: Which Was More Scandalous?
This week's CW drama block may have its share of cool guest stars like N.E.R.D. and Samantha Ronson, but, on the whole, it's a total mess. On the one hand, you've got the unstable girls of 90210 having emotional breakdowns at the drop of a hat; on the other, the Melrose Place residents are busy sneaking around to cover up their crimes.
UK Report Calls Date-Rape Drug a Myth
Well this is depressing. A UK Daily Mail article titled Date-Rape Drug? No Dear, You Just Had Too Much to Drink claims that date-rape drugs are mostly an urban myth.
30 Percent Increase in Women Getting DUIs
Although men still outnumber women in drunk driving arrests by four to one, a report by the FBI for the National Highway Traffic Safety Commission shows that in the decade ending 2007, there has been a 30 percent increase in women getting arrested for driving while intoxicated.
Are women under more pressure for being the sole breadwinner in a he-cession? Are television shows encouraging them to drink more?
Slow Sex Movement Guru: Women and the Power of Sexuality
"There’s a way that we actually have men take all the responsibility for sexuality, and then we get upset that they’re holding it."
This is the second in a four-part series of interviews I had with Nicole Daedone, who is emerging as the leader of the slow-sex movement and who founded the OneTaste urban retreat center in San Francisco. OneTaste invites men and women to learn about mindful sexuality by participating in workshops, yoga, and (for residents only) controversial "OMing" sessions in which men stroke women to orgasm during daily morning sessions.
More Evidence That Healthy Living Combats Breast Cancer
Add this to your list of reasons to live healthily: more research is showing that exercising, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding excessive alcohol can help prevent breast cancer. According to data released today from the World Cancer Research Fund charity, at least four out of 10 breast cancer cases in the UK could be prevented by healthy lifestyle changes.
The conclusions are based on data culled from 950 research papers around the world.
6 Bathroom Stall Scribbles Worth Repeating
Inspired by the wealth of random bathroom graffiti on Flickr, I invited you all to share some of the best writing on the stall you've spotted. Some are clever, some are just plain random, but they all made me laugh out loud. Here are six of my faves.
Tell Mommy: Did You See Babies Everywhere?
They say that once you get baby fever you can't help but see chubby little faces and pregnant women everywhere. It's a sweet thing, but can be bittersweet for couples trying hard to conceive. Particularly those who take longer to get pregnant or cannot.
Wasted Women Frowned Upon More Than Messed Up Men
Breastfeeding moms looking to avoid jail time might want to switch their kids to bottles if they're hitting the bottle themselves. A mother in North Dakota was arrested recently for breastfeeding while intoxicated. Police said that they could have arrested the drunk mother for endangering her child even if she wasn't breastfeeding, but is it really fair to arrest a mom for being drunk?
10 Reasons It's Wonderful to Be a Woman
I was going to call this "10 Reasons Why It's Awesome to Be a Women," in homage to the Yahoo Answers post yesterday, but I knew if I did, both you and a copy editor would think it was a typo. Anyhoo, here are my 10 favorite reasons from Dave's Daily (a man drew this up!) that it's wonderful to be a woman. (And since it seems necessary — yes, this is a joke.)
- Women aren't covered with hair like shag carpeting.
- If a woman inexplicably disappears for two weeks, one of her friends will notice.
- A woman can fully assess a person just by looking at their shoes.
- Women can be groupies.
PSA Asks: Would You Do This Sober?
UK public service announcements sure like to use their shock value as an educational tactic. First we were treated to the teen pregnancy prevention ad that had us watching a screaming schoolgirl give birth on a playground filled with students, and now we have a new one discouraging binge drinking by exposing a sober nation to the disgusting antics of their drunken selves.
In the ad, a bloke demonstrates vomiting, fighting, urinating in public, going home with strangers, and yelling insults at women.
