		<title>No Orgasms For You, Old Ladies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Want to take a walk with me? We shall stroll down the virtual path I took this morning after seeing the headlines in my Google news about a new study which has tried to map out a person’s “sexual life expectancy”: the expected number of year of sexually active life one can anticipate to have left at any given age.

The headlines told me that the study found a correlation between good health and a longer sex life for both sexes but more for men. They also told me that men had the longer “sexual life expectancy.”]]></description>

		<title>Learning from the Mammography Debate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	                        The spontaneous eruption over the new mammography regulations, and the confused history of the debate, warn us about the general relationships between government-issued medical guidelines, insurance coverage limits, and doctors&#8217; discretion.

		<title>Precious, my Precious: Black Female Citizenship, Complexity, and the Politics of Unrelenting Survival</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	As I sit against the florescence of the television screen, watching the conservative Fox News pundit Glenn Beck drive political nails into progressive leaders using the fear of U.S. blacks and immigrants of color as his hammer, my memory harkens back to the year in which the book Push was set, 1987. During that time, [...]]]></description>

		<title>If Ellen Goodman doesn’t need her $250 from Social Security, let her give it to an old lady</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	         Ellen Goodman is usually thoughtful but in “The $250 donation to elders” (Boston Globe, Oct. 23) she doesn&#8217;t understand Social Security.  The average woman receives only $896 a month. 
	She would get an additional $22 a month if Congress actually passes Obama’s proposed bill, intended [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sotomayor and Progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sotomayor's elevation to the high court should inspire the many she is said to represent –women, Latinas/non-whites-- and the nation that  has presumably been enriched by the social advancement that her confirmation heralded, to embrace the challenges that were left in the wake of “progress." ]]></description>

		<title>I Haz Teh Sadz</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Because of<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/marcus-buckingham/whats-happening-to-womens_b_289511.html"> that crappy post at Huffington Post</a> and the whole idea that women are <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/20/opinion/20dowd.html">now terribly unhappy</a> because feminism failed them.  Don't make the mistake of thinking that this isn't what our Arianna is selling us.  She's very unhappy herself, because she is running a website rather than washing floors back at home.  But getting more clicks at the expense of feminists is well worth the tears she sheds.
