Guarding Sarah Palin
After that intense round of questioning that saw Tucker Bounds blink, Campbell Brown brings it home once again by hurling the sexist charge back at the McCain campaign. Is CNN developing a backbone?

Browser History and Gender
This program uses your browser history to determine if you are more likely to be male or female. Don’t worry, it doesn’t store your browser history (or forward it to your spouse). Based on my history, the likelihood that I’m male is 92% much less than that Uncut Varma boy. Wonder what sites has he [...]

Media’s Sexist Behavior toward Hillary Clinton
“Clearly, in an age when the dangers and indignities of Driving While Black are well-acknowledged, and properly condemned, Striving While Female – if it goes too far and looks too real — is still held to be a crime.”
An excellent post on Clinton’s treatment by the media by Judith Warner. Mind you, the Obama campaign [...]

No Woman President this time
Are Clinton women voters racists? Well, by their definition, probably so. A NY Times article quotes several prominent women leaders who have supported Clinton as saying they will not vote for Obama because he is sexist. Just because he is a man who has beaten the woman candidate? Admittedly, the world is not perfect and [...]

Watching Fox Business for the babes
Fox News is launching a business channel on October 15th. NY Magazine notes that their website is mostly plugging “skinny, youthful beauties” including a desi, Shibani Joshi. Anyone who watches CNBC must know Maria Bartiromo and Erin Burnett so I am not surprised Fox (especially Fox, in fact) is jumping on the bandwagon.

Give the dog a bad name and hang him
Mob justice is always a thorny issue and most of the time, it can prove to be counter-productive. This occurs when a section of the society assumes the role of a vigilante for correcting a social wrong. Bloggers have been accused of doing similar things in the past; even desi bloggers as in the [...]

Why is gender still an issue in America?
Last week’s story in Newsweek is about Katie Couric’s move from NBC’s morning ‘Today Show’ to CBS Evening News. The undercurrents of the story dwelt on the move from fluffy morning gossip news to hardcore serious news but the bulk of the story emphasized on a woman’s entry into an male-dominated domain. I don’t understand [...]

Men, Women, College, and their future life path
This issue has been flogged to death but each time it pops up, it doesn’t fail to raise passionate arguments. Interestingly, last week two diametrically opposite yet independent issues were highlighted. USA Today notes that these days, 135 women are graduating from college for every 100 men. The U.S. Department of Education projects that the [...]

Michael Cera is the only bright spark in an otherwise listless comedy.
