"Language Of Ladies" class is short-lived, possibly offensive.
The gorgeous and talented ladies over at Jezebel (their intern, Intern Katy) have rumbled, stumbled and bumbled across a tasty nugget from Vassar College. Per the story at Jezebel, some of the fellas from Vassar (Lisa Simpson's safety school) were feeling a wee bit uneasy chatting up campus females. So, the school decided to indulge these tongue-tied young gents by offering a course called "The Language Of Ladies." A young guy who goes by the handle Daniel Abramson agreed to lecture the audit-only class (likely in exchange for getting off double-secret probation by crotchety, old dean … Read More

Women masturbate more than once thought.
In the shower! In a hot tub! With a vibrator! During a sex dream!
Masturbation: ladies are doing it! Jezebel blogged about a UK study of 1,000 women ages 18 to 30 which found a whopping 92% masturbate!
Two-thirds of women in the Gossard Big M survey touched themselves three times a week and women living in London self-pleasured four times a week.
According to past surveys, 74% masturbated in 1974 and 62% did in 1953. (1953? Who'd have thunk?)
Of course, the study took place across the pond, so we can't be totally sure women here are just as frisky. We'd … Read More
One testicle? Two testicles? It's all the same!
A recent Jezebel post about "One Ball Wonders" like Lance Armstrong and Tom Green made me remember a story:
About two years ago, when I was working as a factchecker at Radar magazine, one of my oldest friends from back home IMed me to share some terrible news.
This brilliant, handsome 20something man had cancer, testicular cancer, and he was going to have surgery to take one of his testicles out.
In the weeks that followed, back and forth he went -- from not wanting to talk about it at all to asking me if I still thought … Read More
Jennifer Aniston May Have called Angelina "very uncool" in Vogue.
According to Jezebel, who is reporting on something that the Daily Mail heard Vogue was going to write about, Jennifer Aniston said, "What Angelina did was very uncool." Yeah, "daaaaaang," is what we said too. Where we come from calling someone "uncool" is pretty serious. It was tantamount to a slur regarding someone's natural hair color, virginity or that they were conceived as a result of a 2-night stand. So, we are taking these alleged allegations VERY seriously. ??What do we know about Angelina Jolie, you ask? Not much, outside of the obvious:
- Attractive
- Tattooed
Natural birth triggers maternal bonds.
Expectant mothers have enough to worry about before giving birth: prenatal vitamins, home vs. hospital delivery, whether to become a stay-at-home mom or go back to work. Teen mothers have their own set of additional concerns, and now, it seems, so do mothers giving birth via Caesarean section.
Via Jezebel: a recent Yale University study found that mothers who gave birth naturally have higher levels of brain activity in areas that signal motivation and emotion than those who underwent a C-section.
While the study was small (12 women), the lead researcher said the results support the theory that C-section … Read More
Do you hide your period from your guy?
Your period: do you hide it from your boy or not? Jezebel asks the tough questions:
...there's one final frontier of unpleasantness that means you're really close: changing your pads and tampons in front of your boyfriend. (I say "boyfriend," because I'm assuming this isn't as much of an issue in lesbian relationships.) Some guys are apparently squeamish about this sort of thing, probably the same ones who are weird about period sex. But can you really have a lasting relationship with someone if you have to hide bloody cotton from them?
No, you can't. At least that's been my … Read More
This guy literally gets in touch with his feminine side.
"This is harder than boxing. This is the hardest thing I've ever done," says Gavin McInnes while huffing his way around a running track wearing a pair of (adorable) white high heels.
This video, part of Jezebel's "What It Feels Like For A Girl" series, is the latter half of two parts which follow the co-founder of Vice Magazine and Street Carnage through his 4-lap, one-mile journey full of saucy catcalls and excruciating pain.
From picking out pumps to his celebration of victory, McInnes literally walks a mile in women's … Read More
The Planet Terror duo had a little breakup.
Jezebel is reporting that filmmaker Robert Rodriguez and scream queen Rose McGowan have more or less had enough (or each other, no suicide pact here). The 2 got together on the set of the grindhouse-tastic Planet Terror. Sure, at the time Rodriguez was married but starlets and directors have a certain connection that a man could never share with his wife. But all is not well in Undeadsylvania. It turns out that a remake of Barbarella (the brightest point in the Jane Fonda experience) needs a higher caliber star than Rose McGowan (per the studio flacks).
And … Read More
Are Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner in danger of a breakup?
"NOOOOOO. It's impossible." Jezebel reports that Benifer 2 (Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner) may be booking tickets to singletown. Maybe this is a joke like when they (Jezebel) April Fooled us about being sold to Conde Nast. Everyone be cool about this. BE COOL!
The details, from E!'s Ted Casablanca, are sketchy. In fact, we can't bring ourselves to look at them. It's too bad that decided to get himself a wife and kids when Ben was in his Jennifer Lopez days. This would be a great time for the 2 of them to get … Read More
