A new study in Psychology of Women Quarterly finds that feminists are “man-haters” after all (duh!), but rather, that it is anti-feminists who harbor more negative feelings towards men.

Roughly 74 percent of the 6 million or so jobs lost in this recession have been men’s, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a statistic which has resulted in the uptick of another one: relationship problems (and subsequent divorces). This because earning a living is still centrally tied to male self-esteem, since Tarzan still [...]
Some Guy Named Michael Karolchyk Thinks Dr. Regina Benjamin Is Too Fat To Be Surgeon General

I’ve tried to steer clear of the “controversy” surrounding Surgeon General nominee Dr. Regina Benjamin, as a means of undermining, or at least, not furthering or validating the insanity of arguments pertaining to her weight.

• Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, a person known to not be an old white guy (not cool, Sonia), goes through her second day of questioning at her Senate confirmation hearing today.
