Here’s a warning to all those politically correct “woke” guys out there who jump on feminist bandwagons at a moment’s notice: Girls don’t dig you. That’s what new research suggests, at any rate. A study in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin says that women prefer men who display “benevolent” sexist attitudes because these indicate men are willing to make an investment — “protect, provide, and commit” — in a relationship.

Ella Rasmussen’s doctors started to prod her about children when she turned 30. She was single, suffered from endometriosis, and contemplated a hysterectomy. After several years, the nudges took hold. Because she wasn’t a good candidate to freeze only her eggs, she was advised to undergo IVF and freeze fertilized embryos. (Snip) "Her doctor made a recommendation: go American."

When a kid goes off to college, you expect him or her to be learning how to handle the reality of adulthood. That's literally the point of college. But here we have the exploits of feminist activist Yvonne Nguyen, who has shaved her head to make ... a STATEMENT. She didn't shave it to support a friend who is fighting cancer, though -- that's always a great move. Nor did she do it because she just likes the way it looks. While it's not my thing, I'm not the one who has to wear it, so more power to her....

Melinda Byerley, founding partner of TimeShareCMO a startup marketing firm, wants to make it perfectly clear what she thinks of Flyover America: Dear Melinda, I see you’re making progress; 8 weeks and you’ve already moved on from “denial”to stage two in the grief process – anger. That’s okay, let it all out, we can take it. Heck, being your intellectual inferiors we probably won’t even understand what you’re saying, so let it fly! And although you’re in the business of marketing yourself, I see you’re blinded by your grief so perhaps I can help you simplify your message so the stupid...

I enjoy telling people: “No worries, I’ll man-up and take care of it,” as the reactions I get plainly expose their politics and character. If they are the sort of person who thinks “man-up” is sexist, homophobic, and misogynistic, as the mainstream media often claims today, they’ll grimace. They will even, if I’m lucky, tell me why they think so. (I say “lucky” because there is nothing as amusing as hearing a person who self-identifies as being liberal and open-minded trying to explain why you shouldn’t buck their status quo with a competing view.) The liberal/progressive belief is that manly...

OfflineRed Square 3/24/2014, 12:07 pm User avatar In order to help toughen President Obama's image on the international arena, the White House released photographs of a shirtless, muscular U.S. President engaged in various manly activities.

“I want to say congrats to Chelsea Clinton. Last week she announced that she is expecting her first child,” Fallon said, setting up the joke. “That’s great. That’s great for her. If it is a girl, it will get some of Chelsea’s old hands-me-downs.” “And if it is a boy,” he continued, “it will get some of Hillary’s.”

First Lady Michelle Obama has overtaken Hillary Clinton in Forbes list of the world's most powerful women unveiled today. The former First Lady and Secretary of State dropped three places from last year's no 2 ranking before taking a seat directly behind Mrs Obama who came in fourth.

Oklahoma City, OK, United States (4E) – Oklahoma City has been dubbed “America’s Manliest City” in the fourth annual Combo’s “America’s Manliest Cities” list. Conducted by New Jersey-based Mars Chocolate, in conjunction with research expert Bert Sperling, the list ranks the 50 largest U.S. metropolitan areas using a scale that takes into account the number of home improvement stores, steak houses and “manly” occupations per capita. Cities stood to lose points if they had too many “girly” or feminine factors, such as a high number of nail salons or high-end retail boutiques. Topping the list as America’s Manliest City is...

"The rankings were determined using 50 of the largest metropolitan areas as defined by the United States Census Bureau, which includes a central city and the surrounding county (or counties).

WASHINGTON (Map, News) - Insisting his wife is not "manly," former President Bill Clinton defended Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton Thursday against a rival Democrat's charge that she tends to "behave as a man." "I don't think she's trying to be a man," Bill Clinton said on ABC's Good Morning America. "I don't think it's inconsistent with being a woman that you can also be knowledgeable on military and security affairs and be strong when the occasion demands it. "I don't consider that being manly," he added. "I consider that being a leader." The former president was responding to remarks by...

NEW YORK - As he languished in a federal prison in 2003, John "Junior" Gotti had plenty to worry about. The jail, he told visitors, was crawling with informants. He had money problems. Old friends were getting indicted. Other members of the Gotti clan were stealing his money. But at the root of his troubles was this: The modern mob, he lamented, was losing its manliness. "Now are we men? Or are we punks or rats or weasels? You tell me," he angrily asked one friend while serving a racketeering sentence. Gotti's conversations were routinely recorded before his release from...

SISTERS, Ore. -- Tara O'Keeffe said even the manliest of men needs a good moisturizer. That's why the Oregon woman has created a moisturizer for the "working man" who frequents home-improvement stores. O'Keeffe's Working Hands is oil-free, hypoallergenic, unscented and sold in cans that look like car wax containers. She now sells 500,000 cans of the lotion annually in the United States. It's packaged in a fluorescent lime-green canister with tangerine print, a rubber grip and a holographic lid. The can is shaped like a hockey puck. The product has no fragrance and fits right into a tool chest. O'keefe...
