Rapes or sexual assault against women, 2007
248,300
The majority of US citizens are women; Women are more highly educated in the U.S; Women are continually paid less--by almost 25 percent--than men. Despite a vast pipeline of women in the professional workforce, they are relegated to non-alpha positions. Women are given miniscule representation in government even as they are the majority of the population. Women are largely relegated (most often by so-called progressives) to represent only Democrats in Congress. A staggering national assault occurs daily against women’s bodies with scant attention paid by male-dominated media.

Two items today: Jeers to Ann Hathaway and also the Times editors for denigrating black female teenagers.Friday, January 9, 2009 at 2:00 pm — admin
First up a Jeer Quote by Ann Hathaway. Last night on David Letterman, Hathaway gushed this: She then gushed that the best job she could imagine would be to babysit for the Mr. Obama. Second Item: a story in the Times that headlines as: “Murders by Black Teenagers Rise this Decade, Bucking a Tend. Now we at FemiSex wonder why black female teens got lumped into this? The story says that 539 white teens committed murder in 2000, and that by 2007, 547 white teens committed murder—a small increase. The story reads as though female and male teens were equally to blame. But….the graphic on the right makes it clear we are taking about “perpetrators, males.” So the headline maligns black teenage girls as a murderous lot. (The story gives white teen girls the same treatment—to a lesser extent b/c of the headline.) This must stop! Women are not killing in great numbers and we HAVE to talk about the fact that males do the killing. NO more giving women the bad rap to shield men from facing the facts. Link to Times news item: |

Thanks for the articles on
Thanks for the articles on Ann Hathaway on the Letterman show! These (airhead women)celebrities can't get enough of another celebrity: Barak Obama. Does Ann Ha
thaway think she's going to get more young women to like her by invoking the name of Barak ONothingness?
I suggest letting her know how we feel about her shilling for Obama and give her a lesson in what feminism is all about!
Thanks, too, for your article on black teenage girls. Lumping the girls in with the boys is a way of getting the boys off the hook.
If women were killing men at
If women were killing men at the rate men kill women, you can put all your money on the fact the headline would read very differently. I am so tired of women getting the short end of the stick! women please speak up! Feminists need to be better at this, and perhaps the Puma's that are so derided in the press will be the new word for feminist.
