There’s a lot to consider when it comes to choosing the right gift for someone, whether it’s for your significant other, parents and family, or coworkers. It’s also a good idea to take into account the many holidays throughout the year, including Christmas and their wedding anniversary. The holidays can put a lot of pressure […]
Here is a confession: I am a dude, and sometimes I don’t want to have sex. For good reasons, or no reasons at all. It just depends. I know that’s not actually shocking, but bear with me here, because that is somehow still a radical thing to admit. It’s still the default assumption about men, […]
There’s an article this week in the Daily Mail UK admonishing a TV newscaster in England for wearing “more makeup than a drag queen” during a recent news report. The biggest problem was that she’s a feminist news correspondent. “Is it possible to be a feminist while wearing false eyelashes?” the writer — a self-defined “old-school feminist” asks. Uh, […]

Nowadays people are more open towards different jobs which should not be divided into the ones for males and females. […]
When I first saw Wendi Deng Murdoch spike that foam-pie-throwing comedian-protestor’s head like a volleyball, I giggled with glee. Then I sighed with relief. Here, finally, was a portrayal of an Asian woman I could embrace. No timid China doll or obedient geisha, no mere trophy wife, Deng was the tiger wife, defending her assets – er, […]
A geisha girl and a samurai warrior: these are the stereotypes Mattel used for Japanese Ken and Barbie dolls. Barbie is dressed as a geisha with lotus blossoms in her hair, a gold fan, and some gladiator heels which are badass-looking, but I’m thinking not particularly Japanese.

Tamera Mowry-Housley makes me weary. I loved her and her twin sister, Tia Mowry-Hardrict, on Sister, Sister like any good ’80s baby would. But grown up Tamera is tiring on so, so many topics — race being number one on that list. The child star used up precious air time on The Real to lament […]
