What's in your Mogulette toolbox?
"Women helping women achieve success" - that's the Mogulette motto, and I just got wind of a site that shares the same feeling. The Women Entrepreneur's Toolbox has the most comprehensive list of business websites and blogs for women by women that I've encountered in cyberspace so far (and believe me, I do a lot of surfing... How else would I be able to do all my procrastinating?). Aside from [...]
Questions Men Should NOT Ask Women
I came across a post the other day listing the 5 questions women should never ask men. After a quick google search, I found nothing listing questions men should never ask women. In the spirit of equality and fairness, here are my top 5 questions men should not ask women. I'll apologize in advance for the sexual nature of the content, but these were the first 5 that came to me. Maybe tomorrow I'll post a "G" rated version. 1. Are you into anal? Really? Only a good question to ask if you're into being bitch [...]
Rubbish Legislation
Rubbish Legislation Sorry to be so hard, but the legislation below will do nothing for Saudi women. You can pass all the laws you like, but if you do not enforce them you are wasting your time. How can you expect this to work when you have a country that exploits women at every opportunity and is still in the middle ages. Women will not get a fair deal at work no matter what legislation you pass. Women across Saudi Arabia will undoubtedly be glad to see that legislation is in the pipeline to protect women [...]
Fear Of Success
What is the scientific basis of fear of success? Where did the idea come from? In a classic study, researchers presented a group of women with a scenario in which a young women student ranked at the top of her class in professional school. Interestingly, women participants predicted that the young women would face unpleasant consequences as a result of her success. "Pop" psychologists in the 1970s said that these women participants had a "fear of success" in that they expected adverse consequences to follow [...]
IS THERE AN ARMY COVER-UP OF RAPE AND MURDER OF WOMEN SOLDIERS?
The Department of Defense statistics are alarming - one in three women who join the US military will be sexually assaulted or raped by men in the military. The warnings to women should begin above the doors of the military recruiting stations, as that is where assaults on women in the military begin - before they are even recruited. By Ann Wright t r u t h o u t Perspective http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/042808A.shtml But, now, even more alarming, are deaths of women soldiers in Iraq and in the United [...]
Symptoms of heart disease in women
Studies have shown that young women with heart disease are twice as likely to die in the hospital as young men. Not much is known about the care of young women with heart disease, most do not realize they have a heart problem at all. Many women think they are having indigestion. Only four in ten women who go into a hospital think something is wrong with their hearts. The women also reported other less typical symptoms: 58 percent said they had pain in the jaw or shoulder 38 percent reported sweating 29 [...]

Unsatisfying article about women in writing
Newsweek wrote an article about women getting into writing (via Kleefeld on Comics). But there's really nothing here I haven't heard before. They say that now women are finally breaking into the boys' comics club.Except that women actually did get into the club years ago. Louise Simonson is one woman who'd gotten into writing years before, and Ann Nocenti was an editor and a writer, having once [...]

Women face tougher impact from climate change
Climate change is harder on women in poor countries, where mothers stay in areas hit by drought, deforestation or crop failure as men move to literally greener pastures. "Many destructive activities against the environment disproportionately affect women, because most women in the world, and especially in the developing world, are very dependent on primary natural resources: land, forests, waters," said Wangari Maathai of Kenya. "Men can trek and go looking for greener pastures in other areas in other [...]
