In 2008 Female Masturbation Still Stirs Anxiety
It's often easier to reduce masturbation (and the women discussing it) to a dirty joke rather than to value it as a component of female vitality, a vitality which for many women is hard fought.

I often recall my conversation with a Jewish woman who worshipped an Indian guru. She was on the path to universal forgiveness and gratitude, she told me, there was one obstacle left: she was still working on forgiving Hitler.
Last week a mix of water and sanitation experts gathered for World Water Week in Stockholm, Sweden to mull over the world's biggest public health crisis. The problem is that not enough people paid attention.
When Madonna and Sarah Jessica Parker tell us that they eat anything they want, they aren't lying. They just don't want and need that much.
Sarah Palin hasn't gone away. Oh, she may be back in Alaska, but she's also all over the media, as in recent interviews with Greta Van Susteren on Fox...
Chicago's Grant Park was filled to the brim with half a million happy, cheering Americans from every socio-economic slice of America's multicultural society.
That ringing you hear is the sound of the death knell for the "don't ask, don't smell" era of factory farming.
Hetty Green was the world's richest woman, but also earned the nickname of the "Witch of Wall Street," with her severe Quaker clothing and staggering thriftiness.
Winfrey handled the sexual abuse scandal so quickly, thoroughly and deftly that there's nothing more for anyone to say.
On September 11, 2001 Americans were reminded that, we, too, were vulnerable. Our place on the totem pole shifted. One year later, I found myself be...
Oprah got to the heart of the matter: institutions in which children are fearful and silenced are institutions that will sooner or later, inevitably, become abusive.
Now, will Oprah do the things that would actually make me stomach her show like easing up on pop stars like Ricky Martin, and feature more Hispanic doctors, lawyers, scientists or dietitians in her stable of experts?
What is it about Oprah that makes women go wild? Especially women who are so different than the woman herself?
As I headed to the store my car radio was tuned into BBC. I listened to an interview with Matt Flannery, the founder of Kiva.org, a new micro finance organization. I pulled over to take notes. Kiva was me, mine, a void filler in the finest form.
While the arguments challenging the Oprah-as-Jesus sententia could fill a studio audience, it's the talk show queen's brand new venture that, ironically, just might highlight the strongest of them.
What is right for Fashion Week, a place where a visible nipple is an accessory, does not gain a nod of approval by the Anna Wintours of small town America.

It is Aniston's right to answer or not answer questions about that painful time in her life. Nicole Kidman has spoken quite a few times about the pain and hurt over her divorce from Cruise but some of the commentators here display very short memories. Penelope Cruz, who acted as a catalyst to the Kidman- Cruise separation ,has never spoken about the 'wonderful time of falling in love with Tom'. Given that Cruz showed discretion Kidman had no reason to involve her in the recollections of her breakup. The Jolie-Pitts, though, are so wrapped up in their self-righteous vanity that they don't feel the need for discretion . Cunningly following the path of hollow, vain people with money the world over (see Diana Spencer) the Jolie-Pitts have thrown themselves into the charity-as-vanity-project racket, where they can simultaneously disguise and feed their insufferable narcissism. I'm not a Jennifer Aniston fan, far from it. I think she has squandered whatever proof of talent for comedy she once showed,by participating in so many flimsy films and that shows indifference to her own development (which she seems to confuse with the constant pursuit of the perfect body and face). It was and is Aniston's right to tell her side of the story and the Jolie-Pitts cannot be allowed to dictate the terms of Aniston's narrative, nor can they be allowed to think they could do so.
