Women Are Just As Sleazy As Men, Gender’s Got Nothing To Do With It

It’s always fun to shame guys for their ways of getting around in bed. Women can always remind themselves that while there are a handful of sluts, (whether you consider sluttiness good, bad or obsolete, it’s just the most well known term for those ladies who get around) the majority of the male population is busy thinking about, trying to, or in the process of getting it on. However, recent studies have revealed that while men are more commonly found sleeping around, gender has very little to do with it. As it turns out, power is the main influence on sleeping around and infidelity.

A survey conducted by a group of researchers in the Netherlands concluded that when the power scale was equaled out, women cheated and slept around just as much as men did .The survey of 1561 professionals, male and female, who shared similar careers and feelings of power, showed that powerful people, regardless of gender, are …

Viv Groksop writes an interesting article in this morning’s Guardian, regarding pink toys for girls and how, with Christmas 2010 swiftly approaching, it appears that toymakers may finally be changing their assumptions about what little boys and girls really want from Santa.

In this week’s installment of stupid I give you the latest craptastic survey done, not surprisingly, by a dating site.  In an effort to link a woman’s name with the number of sexual partners she has had, a French company surveyed a group of ladies.  They concluded that women whose names end with A are more likely to sleep around:

10 Movies that Will Empower Young Girls

Before having a daughter I envisioned what she would be like. I assumed she would be anti-princess, and have zero interest in all things glittery.  However? Not what happened.  Not at all, actually.  If you ask my daughter what her favorite color is, she will tell you “pink and purple.”  Also, to my dismay, she wants to be princess Jasmine, or maybe even (gasp!) Ariel for Halloween.  Don’t get me wrong — my daughter is awesome. She is articulate and funny, creative, assertive and brave … and completely girly.  When she was a baby I truly believed that she would escape the societal mold of a pink, frilly girlhood, but alas, she hasn’t.   She is fully entrenched in it.  It’s something I actually find myself struggling with.  To balance out her love of all things princess, I try to weave in other role models.   I have tried my best to open up a whole new world to her filled with terrific characters that will empower her.  Without further ado here are my top ten girl-power movies.

1. Penelope (2006)

I adore this film.    It starts out like your typical fairy-tale — girl is cursed, girl must find prince to reverse curse and rescue her.  Only instead of being rescued by a prince, Penelope saves herself.  Penelope learns to love who she is, pig nose and all, and decides she doesn’t care what other people think.  She takes charge of her life showing girls the importance of believing in one self.

2. Whale Rider (2002)

Whale Rider is the embodiment of what a children’s movie should be.  It embraces s the idea that a female can be a strong leader.   Paikea, the main character in this film,  in my opinion,  may be the greatest example of  young female strength depicted on the big screen.  This movie is for older kids, middle school and up.  And if you haven’t seen it yourself? You’re missing out.
