She came closest to being monarchy, so it is only apt that they promise her a funeral no less than Lady Diana’s. Britons are terribly excited about her last rites, and many seem to convey that it is to make sure she is finally buried.
Her death at 87 should have been a regular and, one may...

A rape apologist is somebody who condones rape, not one who reports on its verdict. The Steubenville trial has concentrated on making a devil of a reporter by comparing what she said with the terrible online comments. How concerned about rape are those who merely ‘followed’ the herd to outrage...

So, what was the truth about her missing name?
I attribute no particular thematic or plot significance to her lack of name, nor do I assign it any sexist implication. Her lack of a name is rooted in realism. It's the way workers referred to married women whose name they didn't know. That and that...

This year marks the 50th anniverary of The Port Huron Statement, a democratic manifesto drafted largely by Tom Hayden and modified and adopted by Students for a Democratic Society, a leading activist organization of that period.

Sexist jokes are vile and unacceptable. However, I object to a study that uses this yardstick to understand whether women fit in under these circumstances.
A Melbourne Business School report found that companies lack strategy to tackle "low level sexism" despite having policies in place that...
