Lookalike duo Joleen Diaz and her daughter, Meilani Parks, are both single and ready to mingle. A 44-year-old California mother dubbed “the hottest mom in the world” is now going on double dates with her daughter. The age-defying woman, Joleen Diaz, 44, went viral last year after Instagram fans noticed she and her 21-year-old daughter, Meilani Parks, bore a striking resemblance. The lookalike duo, who are often mistaken for sisters, now have accounts on dating apps and occasionally join forces on their romantic outings in order to approve each other’s prospective partners.

South Korea’s largest dairy producer has faced furious backlash after its latest advertisement featured a man secretly filming a group of women — who were then depicted as cows. In the ad for Seoul Milk, a man is seen walking through the countryside with a camera and hiding in a bush. The women are then startled and turn into cows when the interloper steps on a twig. The ad ends with the words “Clean water, organic feed, 100 percent pure Seoul Milk. Organic milk from an organic ranch in the pleasant nature of Cheongyang.”

by Study Finds Share Tweet TEMPE, Ariz. — Stress, by itself, appears to be a bigger trigger of excessive drinking among women than it is for men, a new study reveals. Researchers from Arizona State University find men who start by ordering a soft drink after a stressful day are less likely to end up switching to alcohol in comparison to women. While men are still more likely to develop a drinking problem, the study authors say women are catching up and are more likely to suffer from alcohol-related health problems. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,...

NDAA FY 2022 Requirement for Women to Register for Selective Service REMOVED Yesterday, December 7, 2021. This is very good news! This came from a friend in the Texas 31st Congressional District, not from our own Congressman. But I have been on the phone with Trey Hollingsworth's (R-IN-9) Jeffersonville office. Rep Hollingsworth's office has confirmed that the U.S. Senate sent a compromise bill back to the House insiting on these changes. The vote in the House took place yesrerday, December 7, 2021, and we were successful in the points shown here in Congressman John Carter's letter. This is confirmed. And...

My daughter is 24 and graduating college this year. I want to get her a magazine subscription for young ladies. A lot of women's magazines lean heavily left even thought they're not supposed to be political. Can anyone recommend a young women's magazine that's fun to read and that might lean conservative?

An online forum for women created to tackle misogyny and offer dating advice has come under fire for echoing incel culture by scrutinising and ridiculing men. Founded in the US in 2019 by a 'collective' of anonymous women 'from all walks of life' the blog Female Dating Strategy is a community claiming to help women enter 'relationships that truly benefit them', that's since become a global phenomenon. It was created in reaction to the Red Pill or Incel communities - a collection of websites, blogs, and online forums which oppose feminism and promote masculinity and misogyny.

Men need to “shut up and listen” to women if they want to address toxic masculinity, actor Benedict Cumberbatch has said. In a new interview with Sky News following the release of Power Of The Dog, in which Cumberbatch plays a wealthy ranch owner in 1920s Montana, US, he said there is currently not enough recognition of the advantages men have over women in society today. “There is not enough recognition of abuse, there’s not enough recognition of disadvantages,” he said.

A new poll found that most white women without a college degree think that President Joe Biden didn't "legitimately" win the 2020 election over Donald Trump. The Economist/YouGov poll, which was conducted between November 14 and November 16, asked respondents whether Biden "legitimately won the election, or not?" Of the 1,500 Americans surveyed for that study, 51 percent of white women who don't have college degrees said that Biden didn't legitimately defeat Trump in 2020, while 29 percent of white women with college degrees shared the same response.

The U.S. Senate advanced a bill requiring young American women to sign up for the military draft that is expected to pass despite opposition from Senate conservatives.The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for the 2022 fiscal year advanced in the Senate on Wednesday by an 84-15 vote.Considered a must-pass, the annual defense policy bill this year contains a provision that would require “all Americans” between the ages of 18 and 26, including young women, to register with the Selective Service System.Registrants could be called up for military service in the event of a wartime draft.Among those who voted against bringing...

CONCERNING THE PROVISION IN THE NDAA WHICH WOULD REQUIRE WOMEN TO REGISTER FOR SELECTIVE SERVICE (i.e., register for any potential military draft): November 15, 2021 "The House and Senate Armed Services Committees agreed to amendments that require women to register for the draft. The House passed the NDAA with this provision and now the Senate is likely to vote on this next week. It is critical that the Senate remove this provision! Would you take a moment right now and ask your senators to vote against drafting our daughters?" ~~~Family Research Council. ______________________________________________ Forget the military readiness arguments for and...

Feminist activists and leaders from around the globe ascended the stage at COP26 to say there is no climate justice without addressing gender equity and human rights for women. Wearing red masks in solidarity with their Indigenous sisters, climate activists spanning the Global South talked to a packed venue about the successes, struggles and what real climate justice must look like during a public event hosted Monday evening by the Women and Gender Constituency, a stakeholder group with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Moderator and international human rights lawyer Kavita Naidu launched the panel by acknowledging...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who led a Democratic congressional delegation at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow Tuesday, said women around the world are more exposed to climate change’s negative impact. “It’s a threat multiplier that amplifies and accelerates existing inequities,” she said during “gender day” at the summit, according to the New York Times. “Eighty percent of people displaced by climate change globally are women.” The United Nations, which organized the summit, said women are more vulnerable to climate change due to social, economic and cultural factors. “Seventy percent of the 1.3 billion people living in conditions of poverty...

A construction manager tackles gender stereotypes daily as she shares the reality of how she is treated as a woman on a building site. Autumn Westfall, a project manager in commercial construction as well as a model, from Macomb, Michigan, discusses her bizarre experiences as a woman in a male-dominated industry. She explained to her 13,100 TikTok followers: “It’s 100% true that pretty privilege does exist and yes it is absolutely rude how when people find you attractive they are generally just nice to you for that reason and that reason only.”

When I was fourteen or so, I was listening to an American comedian and he said that “America is the only matriarchy in which women feel the need to complain about being oppressed.” At the time I knew clear nothing about America, or how it was different from Portugal, so the joke went absolutely wide of the mark. But over the years of living here, it keeps coming back to mind at all sorts of times. Look, I’m not saying that some women didn’t have a terrible time in the US, or that women weren’t discriminated against in the region...

On October 30th, People ran a story as part of their ‘Women’s Choices, Women’s Voices’ “stories from abortion-seekers” campaign, featuring the example of a Texas woman named Mariah Armonta, a single mom of three living children, with her youngest being just nine months old. When she took a pregnancy test after missing her period in mid-October, the result confirmed that Armonta was expecting her fourth child. The 25-year-old, who had been back to work for just six months following her nine-month-old daughter’s birth, told People that her initial reaction was panic. She scheduled an appointment at a Texas abortion business...

Beware of the college grad cad! Men with college degrees have become so cocky that they’re ruining romance for their female counterparts, one “leading expert” alleges. Just 40.5% of college students in the United States are male, according to the National Student Clearinghouse, meaning they’re in short supply and high demand when dating on campus. A lack of competition has led these men to develop “golden penis syndrome” — an arrogance that stems from the assumption that a steady supply of females will be sexually interested in them.

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin said Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that the 57% of Virginia’s White women who voted for Glenn Youngkin for governor want to pretend slavery didn’t happen. Guest host NBC Sports broadcaster Michele Tafoya said, “Biden utter his name 25 times in a speech, and it didn’t stick.”

In our culture where "live your own truth" is the worldview of a seemingly ever-increasing number of Americans, women and children in the U.S. are especially in danger. This is because, as pop-culture "philosopher" Cameron Diaz put in 2013, on marriage and sex, tens of millions of Americans have decided it's best to "make our own rules." As Americans have shunned marriage at a record pace, co-habitation among U.S. couples has exploded. In 2019, Pew Research reported that in the U.S., among people age 18 to 44, a significantly larger share "have cohabitated at some point than have been married...
