In Defense of Sex Positive Feminism<\/a><\/strong>
\nBitch | Lab defends “sex positive feminism” from a variety of blogger critiques. I have a lot of sympathy for this article – especially the frustration at people who criticize alleged statements of sex positive feminists without actually providing quotes or links. At the same time, I will never like the term “sex positive,” because of the implication that feminists who don’t share those views are “sex negative.”<\/p>\n

GenderGeek Discusses Her Past Life As A Christian Fundimentalist<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The church, in retrospect, taught me a great deal about how the patriarchy shakes down. I saw that single women were at the bottom of the hierarchy, with marriage a shortcut to power and status within the congregation. I saw many young women, a few years older than myself, rushing to marry young men they barely knew, ablaze with certainty in the gracious provision of a matchmaker deity. I saw women told to avoid the intellectual and spiritual temptations of an Oxford education….<\/div>\n

Teen Oral Sex Isn’t As One-Sided As We’ve Been Told<\/a><\/strong>
\nThere’s been a lot of concern about an “epidemic” of teen girls giving – but not receiving – oral sex. But the research shows that girls are actually a bit more likely to recieve than to give, for whatever that’s worth.<\/p>\n

Analysis of the Ayotte Decision<\/a><\/strong>
\nOver at ACSBlog, Jennifer Brown of Legal Momentum<\/a> nutshells the Ayotte <\/em>decision. Things definitely didn’t go as bad as they might have – I’m grateful this was decided before O’Connor departs.<\/p>\n

Groundbreaking Research From The British Medical Journal<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

A search of the medical and other scientific literature through Google, Google Scholar, and Medline using the keywords “teaspoon”, “spoon”, “workplace”, “loss” and “attrition” revealed nothing about the phenomenon of teaspoon loss. Lacking any guidance from previous researchers, we set out to answer the age old question “Where have all the bloody teaspoons gone?” We aimed to determine the overall rate of loss of teaspoons and the half life of teaspoons in our institute, whether teaspoons placed in communal tearooms were lost at a different rate from teaspoons placed in individual tearooms, and whether better quality teaspoons would be more attractive to spoon shifters or be more highly valued and respected and therefore move and disappear more slowly.<\/div>\n
