I’ve been reading a most excellent book. It’s called The Female Brain and I really couldn’t possibly say anything that could do this book justice.
It’s bloody BRILLIANT.
At first I was sloughing through it, a bit more science than I expected. I love to read psychology books, so I mistakenly thought this was going to be more about thought than about science, but I was very happily mistaken.
Louann Brizendine, M.D. is a neuropsychiatrist who explains in very readable terms how it is, exactly, that the chemicals and hormones in a woman’s body affect the way she thinks, the way she feels, the way she interacts with the world around her. I’m halfway through the book and it’s answered not only the questions that have plagued me for years, but it’s answered questions I hadn’t even formulated yet.
I am so not kidding. (more…)

It must’ve been a slow news day. Douglas Feiden of the Daily News is shocked, shocked that there is sex at Columbia.
According to Susan Wright, the reporter didn’t bother to let Conversio Verum know he was sitting in on their workshops. She also links to Ann Coulter’s FoxNews commentary. (Thanks, Lolita)
I guess he should next report on how NYU students sell sex on CL.

Author Ariel Levy was interviewed by Terry Gross yesterday:
Ariel Levy is a contributing editor at New York magazine, where she writes about sexuality, culture and gender politics. Her new book is Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture. One reviewer writes that Levy “strips the ‘Girls Gone Wild’ culture of its cuteness in her provocative [book], arguing that post-feminist poster girls such as Playboy Bunnies offer only faux empowerment.”
