State Rep. Amanda Bouldin (D) took to Facebook to express her opposition to a proposed bill in New Hampshire that would make it a misdemeanor for a woman to expose her nipples. Bouldin strongly recommends the bill be completely scrapped, or at the very least an exemption for breastfeeding mothers be added.
The very least you could do is protect a mother’s right to FEED her child.
While Bouldin later corrected herself and admitted the bill does contain an exemption … Keep Reading!!!

Is the New Female Viagra What We’ve Been Waiting For?
This week the FDA approved Flibanserin, also known as the “female Viagra” and everyone, men and women, are cheering. But should we be?
The new drug works a little differently from Viagra, by changing how brain cells respond to various neurotransmitters; its aim is to alter a woman’s sexual desire over time.
The FDA has rejected this drug a few times in the past due to it not being effective enough. But since the last rejection in 2013, no new … Keep Reading!!!
One Tweet Made Target Take Notice and Fix Its Gender Signage
As we told you last week, Target has started removing unnecessary gendering in their stores (mainly on toys and entertainment). While they have heard from many presents on this issue over the years, it seems one tweet may have forced Target to take notice and fix its gender signage.

Early in June Abi Bechtel made, as she says, “a one-off, eye-rolling Tweet “. It wasn’t meant to start a movement but 3,000 retweets later it was hard for Target … Keep Reading!!!
People Wear Fat Suits to Meet Their Tinder Dates
According to Simple Pickup (SP), a recent studied showed that the biggest fear for women who online date is meeting someone who will physically cause them harm. Legitimate fear, right? Well, the same study reported that for men, their biggest online dating fear is meeting someone who is overweight.

It was painful to watch. Now, … Keep Reading!!!
Sports Hosts Slam Mets Player for Taking Paternity Leave: “There’s nothing you can do, you’re not breastfeeding the kid.”

Robin Thicke on the VMAs (Post Hijacked by Alan Thicke’s Awesomeness)
Ah, the VMA performance by Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke and Juicy J.
So much strangeness for so many reasons.
Many articles have pointed out that the majority of the heat was placed on Miley. Now some are calling out Robin Thicke, but why has no one mentioned Juicy J?
Did we give up on him after he offered a $50K scholarship for the winner of a twerkin’ contest?
Is it expected of him since he is a rapper? Does … Keep Reading!!!
Objectification as Marketing: Are You Offended By This Ad?
Kraft has been using this “zesty” man to sell salad dressing.
A naked man (or an implied naked man) isn’t offensive. I think where my comfort level begins to waiver a little is when, to me, there is little doubt that this ad is sexually suggestive and objectifies the man in the photo. Although I’m tired of nakedness in ads always being equated to sexuality and I find that constantly being bombarded with that idea alone is not healthy, the … Keep Reading!!!
