POPSMarried Men get Screwed; Boyfriends get Screwing/Scrubbing! A study published by Journal of Family Issues found that live-in boyfriends spend more time scrubbing and scouring than their married counterparts. According to related research, those couples who divide household chores most equally may also have better sex lives.

POPSWomen With the horror of the recent "honor" killing in Georgia as the backdrop, I'm inspired to remind everyone that women die at the hands of male family members every day in the US. In fact, 4 times a day. I'm tired of the Right acting like they really care about women and gender equality. The only mention of women in the 2004 Republican platform is their insistence that if a woman gets pregnant, by law she'll stay that way until delivery. I went to a number of right wing websites and typed the words "violence against women" into their search engines. If any stories were listed at all, they were about honor killings in the Muslim world. The Right wrap their "concern" for women in the cloak of anti-Islamic rhetoric concerning honor killings and are dumb, deaf, and blind to all else. Enough. Islam is not the problem. Patriarchy is.

POPSMore sex is safer sex ..So at the end of the decade, we have a lot more premarital sex and not all that much condom use with girlfriends. But now that these young, cash-strapped guys can have sex without paying, they've stopped handing over cash for sex. By the end of the 1990s, only 7 percent of young men were paying for sex, and HIV prevalence in sex workers had come down too. ....In short, more women having premarital sex equals less HIV.

POPSSuccessful Sons The fourth man replied, "Well, my son is gay and a go-go dancer at a gay bar." The other three men grew silent as he continued, "I'm not totally thrilled about the dancing job, but he must be doing well. His last three boyfriends gave him a house, and brand new Mercedes, and a stock portfolio."

POPSBarney is shameless So now Republicans hate black people and poor people? You helped cause this mess- you and your boyfriends- and now you divert the blame by calling others racist and anti-poor? This guy needs to get ran out of town on a rail.

POPSAnorexia: Whose Fault Is It? What do you think? I'm kind of on both sides of the argument, that it's a combination of nurture and nature. I was raised by a mother who was obsessed with her weight and who would regularly tell me I was fat and that was when I was pushing 120! I had boyfriends who considered me fat at 130. I toyed with binging and purging, but being a Type A personality, it made me feel out of control. I decided that I would have to find other ways to keep my weight down that didn't include doing anything gross to myself or causing myself pain (I had severe gall stones, but didn't know until years later). Now I am a healthy but plump 170 (I have three kids after all), and I actually get a lot of compliments on how I look. I find ways to enhance my assets and hide my flaws and complement those things I do like about myself. I do worry about my weight getting worse, so I maintain habits that control/lower my weight, but I don't starve myself.

POPSHudson teens charged with defamation in nude photos prank The girl sent the pictures over a cell phone...to her boyfriends....and then complains because other students saw them?! No case here, in my opinion. When will young women begin to have some self-respect and common sense. Humiliation lasts a very long time and has long-term emotional repercussions. And I'm certain she isn't the only one who's done this.

POPSgender roles maybe it's testing out different kinds of men too (and women), and then one eventually settles on the same dysfunctions one sees in previous generational marriages, what people call "chemistry"

POPSMy Son's More Successful Than Yours As the fourth man arrives at the tee box, the three smugly tell him that they have been discussing how successful their progeny are, and ask what line of work his son is in. "To tell the truth, I'm not very pleased how my son has turned out," he replies. "For fifteen years, he's been a hairdresser, and I've just recently discovered he's gay." As the other three recoil in horror, he continues, "but on the bright side, he must be good at what he does, because his last three boyfriends have given him a brand new house, two new cars, and a big stock portfolio."
