Every guy you know thinks she’s cool/smart/funny. Men get giddy around her. Conversations stall when she walks into a room.

Sometimes I dream about men who want to kill me. Angry, obnoxious, patronizing men filled with resentment and hurt egos. The other night it was my dad chasing me with a pair of scissors, the week before, it was Arabs threatening me, because I didn’t hide my face and body.

Have you ever felt like you apologized more than your man? Or any man, for that matter?
Well, if so, doctoral researcher Karina Schumann of the University of Waterloo just proved you right. She recently completed some pretty interesting research aimed at understanding the gender differences between perceived wrongdoing and rates of apology.

Wow! Can we all agree that last week was a hard kick to the uterus?
I usually hate to write about “hot topics” after they’ve turned cold but the uterus doesn’t really fall into the hot topic category; it’s more of a buried topic; fuming in the coffin, clawing its way out, yet again, to eat the female population alive. Yes, it may have slunk back into its shallow grave but trust me, it’ll be back. It just keeps creeping back.

I like to write about sex but lately I’ve been more taken with the gender-related power issues that swirl around sex in our society. Why? Because I think one of the reasons it’s so hard for women to own their sexuality is because of the way sex has been used to keep us out of our power. I’m not going to go into a rant about that here because (a) I’m tired of all that blaming and (b) you’ve heard it all before. But there is a shift in our world going on around men, women, sex, and power and it may be about to hit your father, husband, partner, sons and lots of guys you work with.

At a time when many women feel pressured to add sex to their Superwoman to-do list without feeling like they get much in return, Slow Sex by Nicole Daedone is a much needed and welcome invitation for women and men to strip down to the bare essentials of a woman's authentic sexuality so sex can fill her up, rather than deplete her. A must-read for any woman who hasn't fully accessed her orgasmic potential and yearns to more fully embody the intimacy and surrender a loving sexual relationship can bring to a woman's wholly healthy life." -- Lissa Rankin
I teach female orgasm. More specifically, I teach a practice called OM or Orgasmic Meditation, which turns our idea about what sex is (and isn’t) on its head. It’s a practice where a woman lies down and her fully clothed partner—often but not necessarily a man—strokes her clitoris for fifteen minutes in a very specific way. Simple? Absolutely. Complicated? Whoa, baby. When I first introduce the practice at workshops, notepads start falling on the floor, necks get flushed, and I can barely find anyone who will make eye contact with me in the room.
