Is There a Future for Women in Politics?

     According to the huffingtonpost.com, 1.7 million students graduated from college in 2011. Over 50 percent of these college graduates are women. After graduation, women then make up 67 percent of the workforce; however, women still find themselves making less money than men. The Huffington Post claims that "in order for women to achieve equal pay at work and equal representation in the government, we must invest in young women after they leave the classroom."
     If women want to be successful in politics, they must first learn the in's and out's of the government and different political programs. This article discusses the different things women can do to achieve a higher seat in politics, as well as recruit more young women.

50 "Creative" Sexulized Ads

I found a list of "creative" ads on inspirationfeed.com that different companies use to promote their products. These particular ads are a little different, however. These ads consist of hypersexualized women and men. For example, some of these ads include sexual innuendos and even nudity. I know that you are probably thinking many of these ads are clothing ads or cologne ads, but some of them have absolutely nothing to do with  either one of those types of products.

The Anatomy of the Perfect Woman

I wonder, how is it that a man has the right to define the perfect woman. This article on menshealth.com describes the ANATOMY of the perfect woman.
This article talks about the physical perfections of the "average dream girl." A few things that they include in the article is the perfect woman should have small feet, she should have narrow hips, she should have long legs, and get this, she should even have brown hair!!! I don't know if I will ever understand this... Take a look for yourself!

Female Referee in College Football

I don't keep up with sports, so I might be a little late in reporting this but I thought it was so great that a women is a referee for college football. Do you think this says something about the evolution of sports? In the past this would definitely not have happened! What do you think about this? I feel like it's strange though that it has taken this long for this to happen.

Ikea Photoshops Women Out of Saudi Arabia Catalog

In America we photoshop to look "perfect" and in Saudi Arabia they just photoshop them out completely. I thought that this was surprising that Ikea would let this happen, but more than anything this made me sad for the culture of Saudi Arabia. In America, while we are trying to fight for contraceptives in Saudi Arabia women are being cut out pictures for reasons like, "she was considered lazy. Her sin: she was lying down on a sofa, enjoying a book."  What do you think? 

Mother-Daughter Porn Duo

Is this real life? Huffington Post's 'Weird News' segment never ceases to amaze me. Jessica, 56, and Monica Sexxxton, 22, (yeah, I know) from Tampa, Florida share a special bond of mother and daughter- and they like to shoot sex scenes together. The pair have been creating original content as The Sexxxtons for their site for the past year, and claim that, for legal incestuous reasons, they've never touched each other, even while in the same room, touching the same people, or having sex at the same time.

A Beverly Hills psychiatrist called it "emotional incest."

I think there's something deeper than that going on here, yikes.

How Sexy Should Pregnant Women Be?

In the new issue of Touch Magazine, former playboy model Holly Madison comments on whether celebrities are being "too sexy" in their pregnancy shoots for the media, saying they should focus more on being "beautiful" rather than "sexy."

What do you think? I feel like a sexy pregnancy shoot could empower a woman- in the sense of celebrating her femininity and what her body can do. Now whether it can be "too sexy," I feel like that's pretty subjective. And, honestly, do the celebrities really care anymore?
