A sexy pout??
So I read the phrase “a sexy pout” and realized yes! That’s what that look is, when women thrust out their lips and look so sad. They’re pouting. And they do it to look sexy. Wait, what?
Why is a pout sexy? Children pout. So if a pout is sexy, that means that men are …

How to be Successful without Hurting Men’s Feelings, Sarah Cooper
A light fun read with a few great punches:
– re the perfect voice pitch for women … too high and you’re shrill, too low and you’re gruff, just right “not yet achieved by any woman”
– chap 2 – lots of ‘When a man says X, it’s Y, but when a woman says X, …

The Sexual Politics of Meat – Carol J. Adams
Highly recommended. The title says it all.
Among a whole lot of ‘worth mentioning’, I’ll mention the reference to Irving Fisher’s study (p.43) involving meat-eating athletes, vegetarian athletes, and vegetarian non-athletes.

about trans’women’ competing in women’s sports
“One TIM actually tried to explain that as someone truly dysphoric, he’d NEVER want to be on a girl’s team. Beating them all and crushing them with ease would only underline his male body, not validate his feminine identity. Mr. Be Kind didn’t understand this and asked why he wouldn’t want to be on a …

on women having kids or not (from Joan Smith’s Different for Girls)
“If having children and grandchildren is so universally rewarding, why is it selfish to deny oneself the pleasure of parenting? If, on the other hand, bringing up children is an arduous task … why do [people] feel sorry for people who don’t do it”? (88)
“… the real objection to women who decide not to …
