Patriarchy is on a roll today.

A man in Tanzania beat his wife because she took a HIV test. In a country where people are straight dying left and right from AIDS, he beats her for taking control of her health. At least she is out of the hospital now and the police are looking for him. Yeah, tell him, I'm lookin fo 'em, too.

Can't win for losing

Color Me Exasperated. It's practically a Monday in my blog world because here comes more bad news for women in politics. An unpublished study done in India (of all places) shows that even if conditions in a community are better under the leadership of a woman, people (men and women and everyone in between) still aren't happy with her. Regardless of the fact that living conditions are better for everyone in question, they still think she sucks.

That's 1,003,749,976,973,495,743 points for Patriarchy and 0 points for Women.

Just because you settled for someone, got married to them and spawned their offspring, doesn't mean cities have to cater to you. However, according to this, they should.

Reason #3,002 why Carson Daly is a tool

He clearly doesn't support unions. He might as well shop at the W-Mart.

Take a walk, bitches

City of Cleveland says peace out to JP Morgan Chase as it removes over $420 million dollars worth of payroll accounts over to Huntington Bank. Why? Cuz JP couldn't prove its commitment to diversity and the community.

Sugar Mommies

Here's one for you: old white women are becoming the latest sex tourists in Kenya. And officials there seem to be having a huge issue with it. Yes, they have a problem with rich, white women coming and paying for companionship and a little sex from hot, Mandingo type Kenyan men half their age. But, they don't seem to have a problem with all those white male sex tourists who pay to have sex with underage girls.

They want a better peso

Cuban women are making some noise about the country's dual currency system, which promotes inequality. Come se dice "I dat's right" in Spanish? Okaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
