photo by kabils Dear Em and Lo, As a guy, I’ve always felt a little distrustful about my sense of commitment. I know that I can sometimes get freaked out a little too easily over long-term plans, even if just talking about it. Throughout the few romantic entanglements I’ve been in, I’ve never had a […]

There’s been a lot of self-congratulatory back-patting around the House’s passing of the Health Reform Bill this past Saturday — but it’s come at a huge price. The Democratic Congress pretty much abandoned women’s reproductive rights by including the last-minute Stupak-Pitts Amendment to appease some religio-conservative members of Congress, including several male conservative Dems.

photo by Rene (and then some) In response to the reader who posted: “i have never grown my pubic hair, and i always thought men didn’t like women with hair down there, its not only gross, but also filthy.” … There is really nothing “filthy” about public hair, anymore than there is anything “filthy” about […]

Rihanna’s album, “Rated R,” is — not coincidentally — on sale now Some people have been questioning Rihanna’s choice to wait to talk about her domestic abuse right until the release of her new album. Um, what? First of all, that’s just the way the magazine-TV-PR-celebrity-promotional circle jerk works: celebrities don’t tend to chat to magazine writers […]
