Celebrity Buzz Jon Hamm may play the sexist Don Draper on TV, but in real life he is far from it. At a “Mad Men” sponsored benefit for the Rape Treatment Center in LA , Jon Hamm revealed that he once worked at a daycare center and talked about the importance of good, male role models. Can this guy get any better? (via ryeisenberg.tumblr.com)
Judging by this, the answer is a resounding “Yes”. I really hope this girl was trolling, because the alternative is just too depressing. (via reddit.com)
Celebrity Buzz You go girl. I love her even more now.
A pleasant visual showing how many American women feel about the Republican speaker of the House as he fights to defund Planned Parenthood.
A recently unearthed masterpiece of video production and logical thinking from 2009. This is more of an immersive emotional experience than anything else. (Via.)
You knew this was going to happen. The 5 year old girl still won't marry you until she has a job, but now you can dance to it.
This 5 year old girl is ADAMANT. She will not marry you until she has a job. Even if you come running after her! All the women who are independent, throw your hands up at me!
Politics Buzz Thank goodness for the failure of those insufferable suffragettes! Why, just imagine the domestic anarchy if the lesser sex were allowed to cast ballots today. Wait…what? Crap. Well, if you crazy dames absolutely must vote, find your polling place.
Style Buzz Why is Kathleen Hanna giving away all her stuff? 13-year-old fashion blogger Tavi Gevinson met with the former Bikini Kill/Le Tigre front-woman during New York Fashion Week and scored her iconic “Feminist” sweater and some zines.
Turns out a lot of movie scripts forget to write parts for the ladies. I can't help but notice how many good/great movies don't pass the test. Viva la Bechdel!

A growing trend in Britain: female bodyguards. They’re still a minority in the profession, but some high-profile clients find women blend in better precisely because they don’t look like the stereotypical man-mountain in dark glasses. The woman on the left in this picture has been stabbed in the leg, thrown through a shop window, and shot at by snipers. Awesome.
Obama dodges an important question at an auto plant and calls Peggy Agar, a reporter, “sweetie.” But she did get a personal apology from him via voicemail. Swoon! I would never erase my inbox again.
Culture Buzz These kits help women collect evidence anonymously after a rape, but were always prohibitively expensive. Starting in 2009, all states will be required to pay for anonymous rape kits, even if the woman isn’t planning on pressing charges. Well, there’s not much good news to give rape victims, but at least now, prosecuting rape cases will get a lot easier starting in 2009. It’s nice to see our country progressing in some form.
