Imagine what it would be like if the people who wrote company policies on maternity leave went through childbirth themselves.

Sorry, but your reasons for not calling yourself a feminist are equivalent to not calling yourself a physicist because you disagreed with the Manhattan Project. If you truly stand for gender equality, that makes you a feminist.

Here is a quick note on rape and physiological arousal, particularly as it pertains to male victims of rape.

So, my parents' dearest friends are an Indian couple, and in the wife's family there was a small scandal and a BIG blowup when she, the second daughter, "got" her husband. Her husband was a Captain in the Navy and from a better family and so on. Her older sister felt extremely slighted and ill-used over the whole…
