Considering that women comprise the majority of college students these days, it’s easy to take currently available educational opportunities for granted. The drive and courage of females from previous generations — ones where simply being born with two X chromosomes meant a lifetime of treatment as a second-class citizen — made it all possible for today’s students, researchers and professors to indulge their passions, …

Okay, I’ll admit it. I watch the SyFy Channel. For the uninitiated, “SyFy” is the cable channel formerly known as the “Sci-Fi Channel” where one used to be able to find reruns of shows like Star Trek and Night Gallery.
However, in an effort to branch out beyond its reliable demographic of 18-24 year old fanboys, it rebranded itself and began showing programming ostensibly designed to appeal to a broader audience. As a woman …

Congressman Allen West stated publicly that Congresswoman and Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (DWS) is not a lady?  Not a lady?  What is it that constitutes a lady anyway and what definition of the word did West use that Wasserman Schultz does …

This Reuters photo of Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) accompanied a report on Bachmann’s migraine headaches in The Minnesota Post on July 21, 2011.“I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent and of human knowledge that has ever been gathered together at the White House — with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.” This humorous remark was said by John F. Kennedy at a dinner honoring forty-nine Nobel Laureates on April …
