"Mermaid Thigh" Is Just Another Word For "Fat"

Mermaid Thigh is Fat
Everyone now knows that most men and women desire "Thigh Gap" for different reasons. But it is one of the many ways for women to realize that being healthy is also making them sexy, while being fat will only make them miserable and no amount of colorful play of words such as "Mermaid Thigh" can change that.

The Urban Dictionary website describes "Thigh Gap" in no uncertain terms as "the gap between a woman's thighs directly below the vagina, often diamond shaped when the thighs are together." "Mermaid Gap," on the other hand, is opposite of that.

Women in Mini Skirts Do Not Become Suicide Bombers

Kyrgyzstan Anti-Burkha Campaign
Campaign to get rid of fully-veiled women in the streets of Kyrgyzstan has intensified in the last couple of days as President Almazbek Atambayev announced that women can become radicalized to become terrorists if they put on Islamic dress.

Speaking at a press conference a few days ago, President Atambayev also attacked those in his country, where 80 percent of the population is Muslim, who are critical of women who wear more revealing outfits.

Testosterone Limits Should Be Imposed on Olympians

Testosterone Testing
When somebody competes in the Olympics, it is important to determine's one's biological makeup and sex to avoid undue advantage. Science clearly shows that men and women are different, hence cannot be treated on equal footing. Both have peculiar advantage over the other, hence they cannot compete on the same field and expect to have a competitive performance.

This is one of the reasons why Russian runner named Mariya Savinova conceded in her event after she saw Caster Semenya. "Just look at her," she blurted.

Mrs. International Is Anti-Gay and Gays Support It

Mrs. International
Mrs. International is a beauty pageant based in Jacksonville, Fla., that celebrates the accomplishments of married women — but only those who are married to men, and everyone is accepting it.

All of the contestants to the 23 July pageant are required to pledge to defend marriage as something reserved solely for a man and a woman. From more than 50 applicants, only a handful were complaining. The sad thing is that they want to criticize, but hides their identity.

Hillary Clinton is Definitely Not A Feminist

Hillary and Monica
According to Hillary Clinton's aides, one of the great lessons of 2008 is that she has learned to run toward history, not from it: Instead of downplaying her gender, she'll amplify it, running not just as the potential first female president but as a proud feminist.

If this is correct, then somebody is creating more problem to the Democrats presidential candidate. How can she now explain her husband's decades-long of womanizing — a philanderer at best, a predator at worst?

Politically Right Not Correct All The Time

Political Correctness Extreme
Too many people today are too caught up with trying to be politically correct in all areas that they tend to forget what being funny is all about. Don't get me wrong on this because I believe that political correctness which would permit any kind of multi-cultural excess is bad - at the other end of the spectrum, raw race hatred is equally bad. Worse, is trying to become indifferent when surrounded by all these issues.

Good thing that artist Jerry Seinfeld agrees with me and made it blunt to everyone who cared to listen that comedy and political correctness don't mix.

A Complicated Study of Women's Productivity

Women Productivity
A new study in the U.S. from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis looks into how having a family affects women and men. As it turns out, it's really complicated than what was initially expected.

The study focuses on academic economists and finds that moms are more productive than non-moms throughout their careers. But having a kid at the wrong time — or alone — or having too many kids — can make a mother far, far less productive.

Women Are Happier Staying At Home

Women at Home
Do you know that stay-at-home mothers are more likely to think their lives are worthwhile than women who go to work? This was not based on some general assumption or anti-feminist rhetoric but on a study of national happiness in England.

According to the research in July 2013, women tend not to suffer from boredom, frustration or feelings of worthlessness. Full-time mothers also gave the value of their lives a score of eight out of ten, compared to 7.8 for people in work.

French Muslim Women Compared to 'Negroes'

French Muslim Women
A French minister was lauded for her frankness and sincerity in expressing the general sentiments of French all around the world after she appropriately compared Muslim women who wear head coverings to American slaves who she said supported their own subjugation.

In an interview last 30 March on the TV channel BFM, Laurence Rossignol criticized clothing companies such as H&M, Uniqlo and Dolce & Gabbana for offering products catered to Muslim women who partially cover their heads, faces, feet or hands, according to the France24 news channel. The interviewer then noted that some Muslim women wear such clothing by choice.

Claims of Racism Was Nothing But A Lie

Racism is a Lie
Three black students at the University at Albany, New York alleged that they were attacked on a city bus by a group of white men who used racial slurs as other passengers and the driver sat silently by.

The allegation that occurred last 30 January set social media ablaze, sowing shock and outrage as it went. It would draw hundreds of people to a campus rally against racism; an emotional response from the university’s president; and even the attention of Hillary Clinton, who condemned the attack on Twitter. Unfortunately, the claim was reported to be false and the allegations were a hoax!

As this happens, the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) is looking at a spring deadline to begin tryouts for integrating women into teams where 85 percent of men oppose the move, according to a Pentagon-sponsored survey by the Rand Corp.

"No More" Campaign Spreading Awareness

No More Campaign
One of the most talked about commercial a few days ago was the "No More" campaign which addresses domestic violence and promotes sexual-assault awareness. The ad aired its second Super Bowl ad during Sunday's big game — and it looks to have stopped many viewers in their tracks amid the slew of humorous spots from big-brand advertisers.

The ad depicted a text-message conversation between two friends, set to the background noise of a typical Super Bowl party.

Rape Center for Men
In a bid for gender equality, Sweden opened its first rape center specifically for male victims last October, Metro reported. The clinic opened at Södersjukhuset, one of the largest hospitals in Stockholm. The new clinic is understood to be the first emergency department devoted solely to male rape victims.

Previous report cited Sweden having the highest rate of rape in Europe, and the hospital already operates a 24-hour, walk-in clinic for women and girls who have been sexually assaulted, treating from 600 to 700 patients a year. Roughly 370 cases of sexual assault on males were reported in the country in 2014, according to the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention. Multiple political parties in the country hailed the male rape center launch.
