- Short answer: not as much as it could be. Long answer: while Iron Man 3 continues the trend of flooding the screen with bikini-clad trophies, Pepper Potts is a big dose of redemption.
- In a year of reporting on women’s issues, we’ve seen both rousing victories and continuing challenges. To celebrate A Study in Pink’s first birthday, we present the best (and worst) of both.
- On April 24th, wear denim to show your support for rape survivors and your commitment to tearing down rape culture in America and worldwide.
- DC Comics’ Wonder Woman has long been a paragon of women’s virtue, wisdom, and strength. Her newly revised backstory instead portrays women as rapists and murderers. Thanks a bunch.
- There are many types of feminism, and some of them may seem retrograde to the untrained eye. Some people parade these types of feminism for all the wrong reasons.
- Nothing makes me happier than women speaking for themselves fearlessly and joyfully. Storytellers Danielle Bellone and Sara Sutterfield Winn show us how it’s done.
- Women struggle to get promotions and leadership roles in the workplace. Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg offers solutions—and we all need to pitch in to make them reality.
- Tina Fey stars as an admissions officer with a prestigious, rewarding career. But clearly none of her professional accomplishments mean anything if she doesn’t have a man… right? Wrong.
- Not quite horror flick, not quite cerebral drama, Park Chan-wook’s STOKER finds the perfect balance to make your skin crawl. The Horn's Teresa Johnson reviews the new film starring Mia Wasikowska and Nicole Kidman.
- Some people get confused or defensive about the term “rape culture” and exactly how it manifests in America. In its coverage of the Steubenville rape trial, CNN gives us the perfect case study.
- We think of rape as a crime by a frightening stranger, but studies show that most rape survivors know their attacker. We must understand what prevents acquaintances from understanding and valuing consent in their encounters.

- Nicholas Sparks’ new romance, Safe Haven, is boring, lackluster… and downright dangerous when it confuses romance with stalker tactics.

- A man has to fight for his driver’s license when the Florida DMV can’t understand why he took his wife’s last name. It’s really not that hard to justify, guys.
- Teen romance comedy? A little awesome. Zombies? Very awesome. A perfect blend of the two? Now it’s just getting crazy.
- Women have been on the front lines for years, and now they can serve in combat roles. Several high-ranking generals comment simply, “It’s the right thing to do.” Dang right it is.
