Kelly Ayotte is running for Unites States Senator for New Hampshire.
There’s an insidious narrative out there in the world of women in politics that is difficult to shake and it goes something like this:
Women who seek powerful political positions are bad mothers! They neglect their children! They raise them to be unruly citizens! They are cold and heartless and will do anything to further their career …

The advertising of so-called “feminine products” recently hit a new all-time low with the launch of a trio of “dream date” YouTube videos by sanitary pad producer StayFree.
The YouTube vids, in which three (admittedly gorgeous and stunningly well-built) young men find excuses to strip to the waist and compare the thinness and absorbency of Stayfree regular ultra thin pads with wings …

Being an engineer, I may miss out on the subtleties of what is necessary to run a successful advertising campaign.  I may not understand what it takes to get a message out there to change the public’s perception or to get the public to want to buy a product.  When I see blatantly sexist ads, especially those that advocate violence against women, I just have to wonder; what did the ad’s storyboard …

Rolling Stone Magazine's September "True Blood" cover is getting a lot of attention.
Welcome, readers! Do you read Rolling Stone? I want your opinion about the Rolling Stone’s September issue. What do you think of the cover that features a woman sandwiched between two men? All three are very naked and very bloody. They appear to be covered in someone else’s blood.
Some people think the picture is sexist, but other people think it is perfectly okay because of sexual tension on the characters’ TV series. …

The woman who was butchered and meat-hooked using photoshop for the ad featured in my last blog post may or may not have known how the image of her body would be used by advertisers.
But Canadian-born actress Pamela Anderson, whose boob-jobbed breasts famously drew millions of viewers to the infamously bouncing-down-the-beach …

Women in their 20s are enjoying sex in ways past generations have never known:  casual encounters, one night stands, internet sex, and even the ever-so-eloquently-named “f*** buddy,” this being a person that is there for the singular reason of sex, with no strings/ emotions/ feelings attached. Women in their 20s are enjoying pure unadulterated sex. Women are taking control of their sexuality and becoming equal and active partners in sexual rendezvous with men. We are assuming the dominant roles …

Some people say the United States should solve its own problems with women’s issues before our country criticizes another country. I continue to believe our country is better for women than a lot of other countries are. After all, women are not stoned for adultery in the United States. Nor are they legally denied access to education, careers, and a single lifestyle. However, I admit our country does have a …

We need more positive and powerful female role models.
We need them speaking on world stages everywhere. We need them in politics.
And we need them in the media: online, in books, on TV and radio, and in the movies. ESPECIALLY in the movies.
Sadly, the entertainment industry falls incredibly short with respect to gender equality, as I …

Children need a secure and loving environment in order to mature into emotionally and psychologically healthy adults. When a father abuses or injures the mother of their children, the children also feel the effects. A child’s primary source of love and security comes from the parents. When one parent attacks the other, whether verbally or physically, this attack removes the sense of love and security that the child needs at home. …

The New Agenda’s Amy Siskind was interviewed by The Daily Caller for an article, The West’s over-sexualized culture is feminism’s byproduct.   The article questioned Hugh Hefner’s quote in a recent New York Daily Newsarticle in which he declared, “women are sex objects.”
Here’s some highlights from the article which appeared on the front page of The Daily Caller website:
Amy Siskind, co-founder of The New Agenda, an advocacy group for women, told The Daily Caller that while she wasn’t ready to attribute Hefner’s attitude to feminism, she did believe over-sexualized imagery to …
