Sexism And The City
Culture Buzz As the movie approaches its second week in theaters, it continues to make news, as media outlets are making claims of rampant sexism in the film's critical reception. Personally, we think the most offensive part of the movie is Jennifer Hudson's role meant to simply fill the color quota. But, whatever, let's fight about shoes.

Yogurt Commercials
Culture Buzz Yogurt companies have always targeted women, but the idiotic ads that essentially paint ladies as one-track-minded imbicles who sit on couches with their feet tucked behind them are finally receiving some backlash. However, Jamie Lee Curtis shilling Activia is awesome, but then again we'll watch that crazy lady do anything, even if it means her leading the discussion on America's "digestive health" crisis. Keep the Poop Chat coming, Jamie Lee!

McCain Hates Women
Politics Buzz Bloggers are urging women to send their resumes to Senator McCain in response to his comment that women need more "education and training" if they want equal pay. After Senate Republicans blocked the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act last Wednesday, McCain (who failed to even show up for the vote) blames the wage gap on lack of education. Since 58% of college graduates are women, maybe McCain needs more education on the issue?

Danica Patrick
Sports Buzz The first woman to win a major auto race is a hot 26-year-old. Score one for female empowerment! Young girls who want to grow up to become female racecar drivers and/or pose on the cover of FHM magazine now have a proper role model. (Thanks for the tip!)

Girl Crush
Culture Buzz Although many would hope this term connoted hot girl-on-girl action, it's something much simpler: adoration by women for women. Audrey Hepburn, Chelsea Clinton, and Gwyneth Paltrow score points with gals for the ease with which they exude class and intelligence. Keep your fingers crossed - if Britney can manage to stay sane and keep her ironic tee shirts free of Spaghetti-O stains, she'll be right up there beside her pseudo-British sisters soon enough.

“Funny” Rape T-Shirt
Business Buzz A T-shirt reading "NO MEANS NO. Well maybe if I'm drunk" is removed from a retailer's website after widespread complaints. Adding insult to injury, the tasteless retailer replaced the offending garment with a T-shirt featuring a "Miss Bitch" graphic, and offered a 10% discount to readers of Feministing, the site that lodged the original complaint.
