The Best of Judge Judyisms
Judge Judy is both terrifying and inspiring. In a world that still insists that women should be seen and not heard, she is a harpie/virago/harridan we should all look up to. Go JJ!
Flashback: Chubbettes Fashions
Man, looking at these vintage "chubby girl" clothing ads just makes me imagine the screaming matches that must've occurred between weight-obsessed mothers and their pissed-off "chubby" daughters back in the day. "Mother, if one more issue of that effing Pounds and Personality magazine comes into this house, I'm going to rip it apart page by page with my beefy limbs. Capisce?!"
Dish! What Do You Make of the New Bromance Culture?
Something's a-brewin' in the world of masculinity. It's called the "bromance," and it's an attempt by straight men to be friends without being all gay about it. Unfortunately, it's kind of homophobic, and it's spawned an insulting credo, "Bros before hos," which pits girlfriends as the bromance's public enemy number one.
Steve Wood: Douchebag of the Day
Meet Steve Wood from VH1's groan-inducing new reality show Tough Love. He describes himself as a "master matchmaker" and says that you need him; I figure women need this guy like they need a hole in their heads. Describing single women with contempt as "desperate, delusional, and baby hungry," you'd have to be clinically insane to take this douche's advice.
Sarah Haskins on Dieting
Like millions of American women, are you, too, planning on dieting in 2009 as part of your new year's resolution? Well, you can listen to "terrifying imp" Richard Simmons, or you can take advice from the woman I want to be my best friend: Sarah Haskins. Just follow her brilliant tips, like swapping out your usual six pack of beer for dinner for a fifth of whisky.
Bad Vampire Men: Why Are They So Hot?
I love Sarah Haskins. She's reminding all of us crazy ladies who are in love with Edward Cullen/Rob Pattinson from Twilight that the dude is basically the classic bad boy, only, he's got fangs. "What if I'm not the hero," Edward asks Bella, "What if I'm the bad guy?"
Flashback: Hygiene For the Worker
This awesome book, Hygiene for the Worker was written in 1912 and can be found on this amazing Internet book archives site. (Click on that link and it's like having the book in front of you — you can turn the pages and everything!) My favorite piece of advice for the worker involves how to handle women on their periods when they're being visited by "the curse." The following hilarious passage is from page 172.
Will the Man Bra Make Men Gentler or More Caring?
Akiko, the Japanese woman behind Man Bra, provides a couple reasons for its invention, primarily the need that moobs-sporting men all over have to hitch up their moobies for a smoother look under those power suits. But this reporter sneaks in another reason at the end of this clip: Akiko thinks it will make men "gentler and more caring" once they know what women have to go through. What do you think?
Farewell, Playgirl! (Part 2)
Nicole Caldwell, the former editor-in-chief of the now defunct Playgirl, "The New Yorker of naked dudes," talks about her tenure at the skin mag of (and sometimes for) men. Check out what she has to say, and check out our favorite Playgirl covers through the years if you feel yourself getting sentimental.
Remember Ladies, There's a Reason We Had a Feminist Movement!
Not that everything's perfect now, but holy freaking crap! Let's just draw a woman's hot body, decapitate her, and add on the product we're selling where her head used to be (in this case, Hostess Sno-Balls), and continue our sexist ad in the writing below, because the picture doesn't quite say enough! (I'm suddenly having a craving for a well-stacked, cream-filled leggy Sno-Ball!
