Usually, a daughter’s interaction with her father is her first male/female relationship. It’s how she learns to see herself as a young woman; it’s how she determines if she’s accepted, valued, and respected. Whether you have a positive relationship with your father or the two of you are barely on speaking terms, he has the power to ruin your relationships with men. If a woman had an emotionally and physically absent father when she was growing up, she may be more likely to have difficulty making productive and lasting relationships with men as an adult. But even if your father was your biggest champion and showed you his love and nurtured you, he can still ruin your future with men—if you let him.

Just when I thought I had dodged my biological clock, something comes around, tugs at my heart strings and makes my vag tingle.  Ugh, the nerve! Well, even the black soul of a satisfied single gal cannot resist the charms of Jason Bateman and his adorable 21 month old daughter, Francesca in this holiday GAP ad. How cute are they?! I’ve fallen for the Bait-man, hook line and sinker.  What is it about a guy and a baby? Simply irresistible! Okay dudes, if you’re listening, forget fancy cars, Axe body spray, and pumping iron—the hottest girl attention grabber is a little bundle of joy. Jason Bateman is clearly a babe.  [Celebrity Baby Scoop]

It’s a rare man with super sperm that can impregnate a woman when the two of them are in their seventies. The late conservative Senator Strom Thurmond, fathered a child at 74, comedian Charlie Chaplin helped his wife conceive at 73, and abstract artist Picasso made a baby at 68. And all this was before Viagra! Now science has made things possible for any Tom, Dick, and Harry with in-vitro fertilization.  Thanks to IVF,  Charam Singh, who is in his mid-70’s, and his 70 year-old wife just gave birth to twins over the weekend in India.  Congratulations?! So we get why Angelina Jolie wants to spawn over and over again with Brad Pitt, but why on earth would this woman want to take a loan out to pay all the expensive medical bills, not to mention take her va-jane out of retirement?  The Panwars already had two daughters and five grandchildren together, but it wasn’t enough for them. They wanted, and finally got, a male heir to pass their family farm onto. Thanks chauvinism!  [BBC via Dlisted]
