The Prime Minister of Italy, Silvio Berlusconi, made quite the bold/gauche statement this week: “It’s better to be passionate about beautiful girls than gay.” He was defending himself for having had an affair with a 17-year-old erotic dancer. Silvio is 74 years old, and I guess he likes them perky.
The dancer (“Ruby”) claimed that things [...]

It’s hard to imagine Anna Wintour (perennial bob, sunglasses, and tweed skirt suit intact) poring over pornographic centerfolds, but before she was the editor-in-chief at Vogue, she spent several years as fashion editor at the adult magazine Viva, sister of Penthouse and geared towards a demographic of horny women. Viva’s pages were predominantly filled with graphic nudity and [...]

The Vogue Japan editor, Anna Della Russo, is so addicted to capitalism that her closet is as big as an apartment — no, wait, her closet is an actual one-bedroom apartment. And all its contents change every season, so it’s not exactly renewable.
This Russo woman thinks of herself as such a pimp of the fashion world [...]

The newest Woody Allen film, You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger, is a romp in the miseries of lovemaking. There is the older woman who has been dumped by her end-of-life-crisis husband (Anthony Hopkins) for a faster, leggier (prostitute) model. What’s a 70-year-old to do but go to a crackpot fortune teller for tea [...]

A bunch of Yale guys were pledging a fraternity this week. In the tradition of misogynistic patriarchal institutions, the fraternity wanted its pledges to walk around campus chanting the following words related to rape: “no means yes,” “yes means anal,” and “I fuck dead women.” There was also a whole lot of pro-America hoopla that [...]

A very gauche dean at St. John’s University doubled as a pimp to her scholarship students. That is to say, Cecilia Chang had a unique way of capitalizing on her most talented and money-hungry students — Chang treated them as slaves and even forced some of her female students to act as evening escorts to [...]

In college, it’s not unheard of for athletic teams, fraternities, and groups of friends to share stories about drunken hook-ups, divulging whatever details they can remember, comparing notes, and laughing (somewhat sadistically) over particularly absurd or lewd encounters. A recent graduate from Duke University has taken this type of over-sharing to the next level with [...]

There is a very guilty hedge-fund manager who is in such a bind that he has put his most precious items up for auction at Christie’s in London. And when I say “precious items,” I am not referring to the typical pimpish goods like vintage wines, contemporary design chairs, and Picasso paintings. I am talking [...]

The trademark of FEMEN, a troop of Ukrainian feminist activists, is the fact that they like to protest while topless. Most recently, they made a sensation in the Kiev metro, standing up against “the rush hour perverts that like to trespass up their skirts and undo their pants.” The prevalence of creepers in the subway [...]

I went to the Women & Power conference at the Omega Institute this weekend. One of the most useful things I learned was that the best way for us to end the war is to institute an international female vow of celibacy until the patriarchy stops screwing everything up.
This highly effective tactic, with a 100% [...]
