| To Catch a Rapist: Rape-aXe, a Female Condom with "Teeth" | N/A | i think they proved this thing didn't work years ago, when it was called rapex. imagine trying to get it out of yourself. ugh. |
| News Flash: Men are Wimps | N/A | hahaha. so, so true. once at the er a male friend of mine was asked to describe his pain on a scale of 1-10- with 10 being childbirth. he said a 9, so they gave him minor pain killers used for period cramps. |
| Over-The-Counter Pill: Too Easy? | N/A | Cons- some of those hormones can be pretty harmful to one's health depending on their medical and family history. How about a birth control for men? Its 2010 and they still don't have that option? Doctors need to step it up. |
| Burn, Baby, Burn | N/A | Bra burning never happened on a large scale, or as a large, public demonstration. However, there are stories of women claiming to have burned their bras. But as I misrepresented the phrase I changed the line. Thanks for pointing it out. |
| Japanese Rape Games... Not Cool | N/A | To the unregistered commenter- The game may have been released in 2006, but it wasn't widespread knowledge that the game existed to the rest of the world until CNN wrote an article about it about a month ago or so. I remembered reading about it, only on CNN, and wanted to address the issue to the feminist community. This does not constitute reporting on sensational topics, as the story was never a sensation in the news. Nor should depictions of rape, or rape itself, be considered a "sensational" topic. I mean, saying that just degrades the issue. We can say abortion is a sensational topic too, but that doesn't mean anything when your sitting in a clinic trying to get one. Telling me that I am exploiting the game, or rape, to generate "hits" is offensive. I am simply reporting on a game which is stilled played - which makes it still a story - which calls for this issue to be addressed to the feminist community. |
