Is feminism dead?
The Bratz dolls and doll-inspired movie has me and other female bloggers wondering whether or not the feminist movement is officially dead. Just take a look at the clip from the Today Show about the movie and what it’s teaching young girls: there is empowerment in fashion.

Calling all butches and butch lovers…
AfterEllen put together a list of the best butches in the media. Nice idea, except that they mixed real women with characters on TV or in the movies. Hmmm, I think you can do better. Who do you think should be on the list? Or, am I being picky about the list?

What do you think about a lesbian president?
No, Hillary hasn’t come out and I make no assumptions about her sexuality. Instead, let’s think entertainment. Cherry Jones is slated to play the president on the show, 24. I’ve never watched the show before… I will now.

Paying for your exes…
A man is still expected to pay alimony to his ex-wife despite the fact that she’s in a relationship with another woman. The women are in a registered domestic partnership, but alas, that doesn’t matter since the judge said that the partnership is cohabitation and not marriage.

The presidential debates…
Debates can be boring at times but last night was different. YouTube was on board for this one giving people the chance to make a video of their question for the candidates. Two of them were related to same-sex marriage.

Lindsay Lohan’s woes…
The last time I posted about Lohan, it was because of her rumored affair with a cute butch DJ. Well, if the rumors are true then maybe we should pay attention to our –at the very least bisexual?- sister is doing. Well, it’s not good news and it does have to do with DUI and getting arrested. Any guesses as to what it might be?
