Pop star sensation Lady Gaga surprised her millions of fans by parading on stage without an underwear showing that she is intersex and has male and female genitalia. This has not yet been confirmed, but the video is certainly interesting.

Why Modern Feminism is Illogical, Unnecessary, and Evil

Last night, I encountered another example of the old function vs. form trope...the idea that men's body's are machines and that women's bodies are works of art.

Axe body spray, whose commercials have always been problematic in the first place, has released a new plastic loofa sponge. It's housed in some stupid-looking plastic housing, apparently ( Read more... )
