Janet Jackson Doing Nutrisystem? And This Motivates What Woman??

Jan 10, 2012 6 Comments

I’ll admit it: when Jennifer Hudson began to endorse Weight Watchers, I got so sick of hearing her scream at me through the television that it made me cringe. Seriously. However, I thought her progress was beautiful and having successfully participated in Weight Watchers in the past, I could understand her allegiance and endorsement. Even [...]

Pious Bologna: So Rick Santorum’s Wife Had a Partial-Birth Abortion?

Jan 09, 2012 12 Comments

I really wish someone in the media or campaign trail would ask Rick Santorum about this. I could be wrong, but him being pro-life and all, this sorta sounds like murder, no? I mean, isn’t this what him and his evangelical buddies are against? You know, a woman’s right to choose? Not that I’m biased [...]

Dec 30, 2011 6 Comments

I recently watched a short documentary called “The Colour of Beauty“, about the limitations that Black women are faced with when attempting to break into the fashion industry. That’s right, people; contrary to what Tyra and Top Model may have you believe, women of color are still having a difficult time with being valued in [...]

Street Meet: Black Women, Black Men, & Everyday Sexual Harassment

Dec 29, 2011 12 Comments

Editor’s Note: I just read a story about a woman who as a result of refusing the advances of a would be male suitor, ended up in a hospital after being hit in the head with a bowling ball for refusing a drink offer. It’s a pretty extreme reaction to rejection any man, I think. [...]

The Weekend Sex Blog: The Way to a Woman’s Heart (Remixed)

Dec 10, 2011 1 Comment

I yearn to have you splayed and vulnerable. Radiating pleasure like light from the sun. First, let state from the outset that I may not know what the fuck I am talking about. On the other hand I submit that some will find at least a measure of truth within these few short sentences. Simply [...]

Friends With Benefits: How Some People Overlook the Basics

Dec 09, 2011 1 Comment

I had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of my downstairs neighbor yesterday after having survived a busted pipe (mine) and a collapsed ceiling (his). While the circumstances weren’t the greatest and maybe we could have done this earlier, say, late Summer or early Fall, better late then never, right? Several frustrating incidences led up to yesterday, I haven’t [...]

Dec 08, 2011 4 Comments

Dec 05, 2011 10 Comments

Listen, Newt Gingrich is a political whore. That’s right; I said it, and I friggin’ meant it. Truth is, Newt hasn’t met a dollar he didn’t like. I heard Newt blowing the usual same ole GOP dog whistle, of talking shit about poor people the other day. Specifically, I heard he said some ole bullshit [...]

You’re Pro-Life But Not When It Comes to Women?!

Dec 01, 2011 1 Comment

Sometimes I neglect to write simply because I realize that my writing is driven by more passion then it is by academia. I am just as capable of writing a coherent sentence and balancing an argument with the pro and con of an issue as anyone else with an Undergraduate Degree but sometimes I just [...]

Pregnancy Pact or Just Young Black Girls Comparing Bellies? Does It Matter?  I was presented with the picture below and asked to take a stab at making some type of social commentary from it. A group of young black girls with their pregnant bellies distended, smart phones in hand, in a bathroom somewhere rocking khaki’s [...]
