“Slut!”
Like children telling stories about a scary old man, women criticize each other’s sexuality – from a safe distance.
“Slut!”
It’s hit and run.
“Slut” is what women call a woman who is “too” sexual. It’s someone who can enjoy sex without being in love. Someone who admits she enjoys sex more than a woman “should.” In other words, it’s a woman who can enjoy sex the way only men are supposed to be able to.

Debates about Gardasil (aka the “cervical cancer vaccine”) have up until this point focused on girls and young women. By focusing on cervical cancer, rather than on HPV (what the vaccine is really for) — debates on this issue have completely sidestepped around the issue that, of course, boys and men get HPV too. Shouldn’t they also get vaccinated? What will happen now that the debate isn’t just about girls’ sexuality?

Kristin Cashore’s ‘Fire’ and Barry Lyga’s ‘Goth Girl Rising’ tackle the difficult subjects of young women’s budding sexuality and the power of gender from engaging perspectives.
Menstruation and sexuality are undeniable evidence of it.

How Bedouin Women Fit into their Ideological Role
Sexuality is constantly linked with reproduction in the Bedouin. This process of reproduction demonstrates women’s dependence and lack of self-control. Sexual intercourse implies women’s dependence. They have to get the cooperation from their husband in order to complete it. Pregnancy and birth-bearing expose women’s failure to control themselves. An example Abu-Lughod offers is that during the pregnancy, women lose control over their own bodies (133). It is true that the bodies of pregnant women grow abnormally. Because of these natural attributes, women are viewed as inferior and as being less honor than men. They become the vehicles for men to perpetuate lineages (133). For this same reason, older postmenopausal women, who are no longer reproductive and less sexually active, are less controlled by others (133).

Recently, many patients, friends and acquaintances have asked me about ‘the cancer vaccine”. It seems to work like magic: take a shot and you will be protected from cervical cancer.
For me, the answer is quite straightforward. However, if it is such a no-brainer, why is there some reluctance to [...]

I had seen a lot of commercials about this Gardasil thing… I have a very well-established habit of ignoring pharmaceutical commercials. One day, whilst visiting my mum and grandmother, they tell me I should get that vaccine. I tell them “why” and they tell me it protects against HPV. My response was “yeah, but [...]

Women in their 40s are having the best sex of their lives, says Joanna Moorhead. But is this down to self-esteem, hormones — or affairs?
AT 48, Philippa is vivacious, attractive and is having the best sex of her life. “It’s quite wonderful,” she says. “If you’d told me at 28 that this would [...]

The measure in question is a Colorado ballot issue (Amendment 48) which would define into law that “life begins at conception” (or the “every sex act is sacred” measure).
In effect, it would outlaw ALL abortions, including the Plan B (the morning after pill). It would also be the slippery [...]
