		<description><![CDATA[Women can't win, it seems. If we wear too much clothing, as with the Islamic tradition, we're cultish or dangerous because we may be hiding too much. If we show off our flesh - in outfits with bare midriffs, short skirts, revealing tops or even nothing at all, we may be hiding too little. A woman who shows too much cleavage is a slut or a whore, right? Isn't she asking to get raped? And a woman in a hijab or other religious covering is asking to be harassed for displaying her personal views and traditions, isn't she?<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&blog=3742533&post=1678&subd=femspotter&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are days when I feel like the most beautiful and powerful woman in the world, and days when I want my body back so I can do all of the things I used to: drink alcohol in moderation, swim a mile with the crawl stroke, have comfortable sex with my husband rather than "Tetris sex," or even just walk up a flight of stairs without becoming winded.  And there are days when I look around the world - my locale, the newspapers, the blogosphere, etc. - and I realize that this exciting time isn't universal even though it should be. Pregnancy and its resulting motherhood in its best form should be a choice lauded by others, for all women who want it. It isn't.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&blog=3742533&post=1636&subd=femspotter&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The real value of feminism is that it can ensure that every woman knows her  worth and her right to a happy life - that she is entitled to human egalitarian privilege, which is greater than the rights known by other forms of life; not by begrudgingly taking away the rights of others - of men and transsexuals or members of other races or dwellers of other countries, etc. - but by raising up the wonderful aspects of her self and her femaleness, those aspects that make her a valuable member of collective society: her motherhood, her sisterhood and her ability to love and care for others.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&blog=3742533&post=1578&subd=femspotter&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think that in America, our standard of beauty has to do with two things: economy and repetition. It's more expensive and therefore elite to buy organic produce, diet aids, personal trainers and weight loss programs than it is to fill your kitchen cupboards with high fructose corn syrup-filled non-perishables and forget about the rest. And wouldn't we all like to be members of the elite? Ergo, wouldn't we rather buy fashion magazines with Keira Knightly on the cover than Gabby Sidibe, the former representing who we want to be and the latter perhaps who we are? And that brings me to repetition: we consume images of slender women on television, in movies and on the newsstand like we do peanuts at a baseball game - one sweaty fistful at a time in rapid succession.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&blog=3742533&post=1530&subd=femspotter&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I guess this means the 17 Republican women in the House of Representatives can kiss their hopes of being appointed Speaker "good-bye." It seems to me that the democratic process took place in Washington yesterday and the Republicans want to be  big babies about it...big, misogynist babies. They might want to rethink their "No More Madam Speaker" slogan before the 17 catch on that they're not wanted in Washington by insecure male Republicans.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&blog=3742533&post=1500&subd=femspotter&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now, as I said before, I love "The Daily Show" and I really appreciate Samantha Bee's refreshing perspective. But this use of female-identified words as derogatory designations for men has got to stop. Terms like "vagina men," "douche," "douchebag," and "pussy," or "pusswad" as Bee uses in the segment, are all related to female anatomy and imply, whether intentionally or unintentionally, that female anatomy is inferior to male anatomy and thus that females are inferior to males. Why don't we keep sex-defining anatomy out of it? Instead of "douchebag," why not use insults like "loser," "idiot" or "jerk?" Instead of calling the Better Men Organization "vagina men," couldn't Bee have called them "weaklings," "freaks" or "wimps?" That is what she meant, is it not?<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&blog=3742533&post=1386&subd=femspotter&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I mentioned before, sexual harassment is difficult to prove and as CBS asserts nobody ever reported Letterman for it. Of course, that doesn't mean it didn't exist. But several high-profile women have given Dave a pass just like his audience. On "The View," Barbara Walters remarked that Dave “is a very attractive man” and excused his affairs by saying that it's perfectly acceptable to meet people and begin relationships at work and by claiming that she could recite a list of names of executives who were guilty of the same thing. As if that makes it alright! Joy Behar called Letterman "smart" and championed his political savvy. And Oprah appeared with him in a high-profile Super Bowl commercial to promote his television show.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&blog=3742533&post=1342&subd=femspotter&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, while we should be warning our daughters about the risks of rape, date rape and other forms of violence from men, we should also be warning them about the emotional wounds that women can and do inflict. And if we know girls who possess "superior social intelligence," we have to teach them not to be mean.

Remember Jesse Logan's story? She was an 18-year-old high school senior who sent a text message containing nude photographs of herself to her boyfriend. But after she and that boyfriend broke up, he circulated the pictures to high school girls knowing that they would be cleverly mean about them. True to form, those girls were mean; and poor Jesse hung herself at home in the lonely privacy of her bedroom. Armed with plenty of ammunition - the secrets and insecurities we wish to hide - mean girls can and do fire again and again at will.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&blog=3742533&post=1314&subd=femspotter&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The real question for sex robot creators and buyers is this: will you forget what it's like to love and care for somebody else? For like all of our blatant abuses of technologies that minimize social interaction, surely the ongoing development of a sex robot is just one more step in the evolution of a completely isolated, alienated human being. If you're in the market for a sex robot who talks, won't you soon expect to be able to purchase a sex robot who cooks, cleans, does laundry, runs errands, earns a decent wage and raises your adopted children? Where do you draw the line between sex robot and Stepford wife?<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&blog=3742533&post=1287&subd=femspotter&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
