Most women are either bisexual or gay but "never straight", a study suggests. Research has found that though lesbians are much more attracted to the female form, most women who say they are straight are in fact aroused by videos of both naked men and naked women.

In order to deter the Syrian and Russian Air Forces inside the East Ghouta (collection of farms) region of rural Damascus, the U.S. backed moderate rebels from “Jaysh Al-Islam” (Army of Islam) and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) have placed kidnapped Alawite women in cages to protect themselves from airstrikes. The U.S. backed Syrian Opposition’s social media activists posted the photos of the six kidnapped Alawite women on Twitter, adding their extra commentary that included sectarian insults to degrade the helpless women and taunt the Syrian President Dr. Bashar Al-Assad. This is not the first time that the U.S. backed...

The Women’s Energy Network Angela Walton, incoming President of the Women’s Energy Network of North Texas, explains the opportunities available to women in the energy sector.

ISIS has allegedly called for the closing of all women's clinics in Raqqa, the terror group's headquarters in Syria, threatening to kill doctors, according to a human rights group. This is the latest in the Islamic State,s war on women, raping them, taking them as sex slaves, and forcing young children into marriages. ISIS is trying to restrict the interaction between men and women by keeping these physicians away from their female patients, according to some activists.

Now that Hillary Clinton has, by default, sewn up the Democratic nomination, expect Democrats to play the gender card for all its worth. In August, Clinton lashed out at the GOP field: "extreme views on women, we expect from some of the terrorist groups ... but it's a little hard to take from Republicans who want to be the president of the United States." So much for cleaning up the harsh partisan discourse in Washington. Clinton's "gender equity" agenda includes family-leave legislation and a federal mandate requiring that women receive equal pay. This from a senator, from 2002-2008, who paid...

The politically correct Glamour Magazine has reportedly waived the one defining requirement of candidates for its “Woman of the Year” honor—a double X chromosome—in conferring the title for 2015 on crossdresser Bruce Jenner, a move many women are finding insulting. The magazine is expected to formally announce its choice of Jenner as woman of the year, along with actress Reese Witherspoon, on November 3. Criticisms are already piling up from women who find the choice of Jenner to be demeaning, and are falling into two main camps. First, out of all the real women in the world, could Glamour not...

Kochi - In Kerala, where 50 per cent of the seats and positions in local self-Government institutions are reserved for women and where hundreds of Muslim women are contesting in the current civic poll, a prominent Sunni scholar-orator has pushed Muslim outfits into confusion by issuing a 'reprimand' that women's entry into politics and election battles is "Haram before Allah" according to Islam. The 'reprimand' has caused a huge headache for outfits like the Muslim League, second biggest constituent of the Congress-led ruling UDF for which Sunni Muslims are a major vote-bank. But the speech of the scholar of Samastha,...

For all of the Photoshop wizardry I've accomplished over the years I must say these are as impressive in execution as they are visually striking in making their point...(I didn't do these, my hat is off to whoever did) Hey...where'd Obama go?

Why are there so few women killers? Strange enough, almost all killing is committed by men. The reasons vary, but one is most interesting. Men will get very angry about something at work and will go to work and kill a supervisor or coworker. Also, men will get upset about some political issue and will kill a group of innocent people (i.e. recent mass killings in the U.S.). Why don't women do that on a regular basis? Well, some do, but in almost every case those women are living under islam (women suicide bombers). It is the only religion in...

A Tribute to the Holy Women of the Mystical Tradition Msgr. Charles Pope • October 19, 2015 • 1 Comment This past week, I have been traveling in Europe: Fatima, Lourdes, Avila, and soon enough up to Notre Dame in Paris. What a privilege it is to be in these places so near to the feasts of our Lady of Fatima (10/13) and St. Teresa of Avila (10/15)! Yes, two very important women in my life: Mother Mary and St. Teresa.Indeed, I have come to realize my need for and indebtedness to the holy women of God’s Church, to those...

Maj. Gen. Scott Miller’s voice held frustration late Friday afternoon during a quickly arranged media roundtable on the fourth floor of McGinnis-Wickam Hall, headquarters of the Army’s Maneuver Center of Excellence. The commanding general of Fort Benning has been fighting allegations for months that female soldiers were given special treatment to pass Ranger School, the most physically and mentally demanding training offered by the Army. Four hours after the third woman graduated, Miller sat front and center with Command Sgt. Maj. Timothy Metheny to his right and four members of the Airborne and Ranger Training Brigade, including the commander, Col....

WARNING: The video footage included below is shocking and contains violence and censored nudity. Viewer discretion is advised.  Mar de Plata, October 13, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) - A horrific and surreal scene unfolded Monday night outside the Cathedral of Mar de Plata in Argentina as hordes of women, many of them masked and half naked, violently assaulted a group of young men who stood outside the Cathedral of Mar de Plata praying and standing watch. Such violence is becoming the norm for the annual March for Women in the Pope's native land of Argentina, although this year's violence seemed to be the...

#WarOnSanity Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s tireless effort to make people believe the GOP hates women is one of nature’s true miracles. Each year, she makes a harrowing journey to the friendly lands of MSNBC or CNN, where she feathers an exquisite nest of lies and insanity. From her vantage point she surveys the political landscape and, like the swallows to San Juan Capistrano or salmon to their birthplace, she returns to her ridiculous “war on women” meme. It has never worked. Despite her best efforts (or perhaps because of them) elected Democrats have become and endangered species. Nationwide, their numbers have...

What are some real world examples of gender equality benefiting the economy? There are four main ways in which gender equality contributes to growth. The first is simply the increase in the number of people who are economically engaged, whether as workers or business owners. A significant proportion of the economic growth experienced in the US and in Europe during the 20th century was caused by the entry of women into the labor force. The second is the improved efficiency in resource use. Today, there are more women in higher education than men, both in Europe and the US. If...

THE GREATEST GIFT Human history has basically been the struggle for freedom.  And it has been a struggle against two things: 1.  Natural elements or "limitations" (such as starvation, thirst, disease, famine, cold, heat, predators, etc.) and 2.  Other humans. The natural elements that limit human freedom have been fought against (and largely won) with advances in technology, agriculture, economics, and science.  We've eliminated starvation and thirst through agricultural technology, cured diseases through medicine, and though we have yet to unlock the secrets of immortality, the majority of people today do not spend their time searching for a clean water...

A congressman who is a combat veteran and Ranger graduate has asked the Pentagon's top Army leader to produce documents related to the performance of the females who began Ranger School at Fort Benning, Georgia earlier this year, PEOPLE has learned. In a letter obtained exclusively by PEOPLE, Rep. Steve Russell, R-Okla., gave outgoing Army Secretary John McHugh until September 25 to produce documents revealing the women's test scores, evaluations, injuries, pre-training and more. The letter was delivered to McHugh's Pentagon office on September 15. "The training of our combat warriors is paramount to our national defense," Russell wrote to...

War is nasty, brutal and costly. In our latest wars, many of the casualties suffered by American troops are a direct result of their having to obey rules of engagement created by politicians who have never set foot on — or even seen — a battlefield. Today's battlefield commanders must be alert to the media and do-gooders who are all too ready to demonize troops involved in a battle that produces noncombatant deaths, so-called collateral damage. According to a Western Journalism article by Leigh H Bravo, "Insanity: The Rules of Engagement" (http://tinyurl.com/p59nlqs), our troops fighting in Afghanistan cannot do night...
