Now, politics aside, this site (1970s Weight Watcher meal cards) somehow reminds me of Laura Bush, in that homemaker-Sally sort of way. Except Sally with a handful of quaaludes.

Just out of curiosity, what do people make of the fact that Bush is ahead in the polls with women voters nationwide? I'm happy, to be sure, but pretty surprised.

Is there a reason for flavored condoms if you don't use a condom going down on a guy? Maybe I'm missing something, but most people I know don't use them in that situation, so I'm just wondering what the point is.

Hey girls- This is my first post on this super-pink blog. Am I the comic relief or the "older, wiser" alum voice? It's unclear. In entirely unrelated news, last weekend, I spent upwards on an entire day with 2 early-20s girls (some of my favorite sassy modern girls too!) and we ended up talking about marriage on and off for possibly 4 hours. How does this happen? Why does everyone want to

I recently finished the book "Pledged: The Secret Life of Sororiities". (The one I should have been reviewing for the Dartmouth Review). I thought it was an interesting and worthwhile read, but there were some parts that I found disturbing. First of all, I am uncomfortable with the fact that regardless of the positive things she mentions about sororities, they are mixed in with highly

If any of you have read Manifesta (or haven't but are interested), you should really attend some of the events this coming week. I read it, and I thought it was very informative and interesting, although I can't say I agree with everything in the book, especially their stance on right wing women. But I would highly recommend it, regardless. ***************************************************

This article from the NYT describes the negative effects of our negative outlook on fat in America. It also vaguely links it to sexism and racism toward the end. Thoughts (on any part of it)? I think that obesity, though not necessarily fat in general, is a proven health problem that is increasing and needs to be addressed, but the article does have some good points about how this has to be done.

I posted this in the comments section, but I wanted to make this clear, because my friend Hudak brought up some valid points. I have made some of my best friends at Dartmouth (including my absolute best friend in the world) on the Review. There are many wonderful people who I know are not sexist, and I don't want to discredit them. Perhaps I should have toned down my post if only out of

Amanda, it's not just the Review. At the free press meeting last night, there were 4 women, and in the vicinity of 10 men. When we were interviewing SA candidates for next year, I showed up and there had been 5 guys interviewing everyone (of course, all the candidates until that point had been men, so maybe it was appropriate). The atmosphere at meetings and surrounding the paper in general is

Now that I'm no longer affiliated with the Dartmouth Review, I've been reflecting on my experiences there. And I have arrived at the conclusion that stereotypes exist for a reason. The Review is a sexist organization. That's all there is to it. I used to defend it strenuously, and while I still agree with many of their stances on some important issues, I could no longer be a part of it

Here is an interesting article on "spin" in the media, as relates to publications geared toward women. It would be nice to see a bit more balance in some of these magazines. Granted, these are not scholarly publications, but they do reach and impact countless female voters. It would be nice if they received the message that Democratic and Liberal candidates are not the only pro-woman

Go to cnn.com and vote against Bush's proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. Bush quote: "Our government should respect every person." Good. But how can that entail banning couples from marriage? How is it possible that such blatant discrimination from the head of our government can exist against non-heterosexuals? We should be ashamed.

This article from Women's E News asserts that the case against Martha Stewart is sexist because the case rests on little evidence.

So I went to see Michael Moore speak on campus today, and I would like to take this opportunity to state that he is a complete idiot.

This is hilarious!!! I think in a lot of ways it is true, although I disagree with the concept that all women really want is a rich guy. But I am definitely of the opinion that: a) It is hard for a guy and a girl to be friends without one ending up attracted to the other. b) Girls decide almost automatically if a guy has hookup potential or if he is relegated to "friend" status, whereas

A while back, the D interviewed several women from different campus publications. The question was about the lack of women in various blogs and campus newspapers. Since I know most of the women who post here (and men who comment here) do both, I'm curious as to whether or not you feel women are well represented in campus politics. Do you think there are valid reasons why women don't join in

As you can see, I've added links to some conservative and liberal sites, dealing with women's issues. I just want to point out that I am not totally familiar with the more liberal links, and I'd really like some feedback. If anyone has some recommendations (for either category, but particularly liberal ones, since I'm not familiar with that many), I'd appreciate it.

I don't know where anyone stands on the issue...but regardless I find myself wary of organizations that would dispense pills that bring about the death of a teenaged girl, and would continue to dispense these pills knowing this, while still billing them as "super-safe...never causing a death". In September 2003, 18-year-old Holly Patterson died from taking RU-486, which she obtained from her

For this article. This goes hand in hand with our previous hookup talks. Not to dredge up an old topic... I think we have all talked enough about hooking up to last us quite awhile. On a semi-related note: Ellis should become a diva.

Despise the no-strings attached drunken hookup, why do they participate in them?

They're dropping like flies... One by one, cities and states in the US are falling victim to a fascist ban on cigarette smoking in bars and restaurants. This has long been a pet peeve of mine. Looks like the rights of property owners are a thing of the past. But so many people get lung cancer and suffer premature death due to second hand smoke, right? Um, no.

For a little while anyway! I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving break, full of lots of sleep and good food!! Hang in there, it's almost Christmas break! By the way, this is just a rant, but if you get a chance, you should pick up the latest issue of "Glamour". Aside from being wonderful, as always, there is an article about the Glamour "Women of the Year". The first one is Britney Spears?

This letter to the editor is in the D today. I think everyone should read it. My favorite part: "I would just like to state the obvious and say that sexual assault against an intoxicated victim does not make the crime any less vile. But for whom are you more inclined to have sympathy: the pedestrian who gets hit by a car while walking on the sidewalk, or the pedestrian who gets hit by a car

I love this magazine! This is an interesting article about campus feminism, or really campus gender relations. "So we don’t date. We hook up with a host of strangers or hole up with one nice boy, fling ourselves off the precipice of self-respect or fling ourselves into the isolation of monogamous long-term dating. It seems there is no middle ground. And yet … And yet there is a growing

Three of our delightful Dartmouth Divas are attending the Sigma Nu semi-formal tonight! : ) I have no real motive for posting this. But let me take this opportunity to say that I love formals and think that Dartmouth should have more of them. Not just the Greek houses, but class formals, or something like that. They are fun to get dressed up for, you get to spend time with your good friends,

from SheThinks My favorite part: Random hook-ups are sad but common in a world where men’s sexual needs set the standards, where supposedly “empowered” women are unwitting accomplices in their own subjugation, their ultimate substitutability. I just went to a lecture and discussion led by Kristen Richardson of the Independent Women's Forum, called "Hooking up, Hanging Out, and Hoping for Mr.

I have a bit of a story to share: A few weeks ago, the Review had a pong tournament. One of the games was between Amanda and some 07, and Nick Santos showed up to watch. He and Stefan proceed to make a bet on who will win the game, with Nick rooting for Amanda. When she won, Stefan payed Nick $5. Skip forward a bit... So tonight at the Free Press meeting, we're discussing the blog, and it comes

Is anyone planning on going to this? I can't make it because I'll be in Manchester, but it would be great to have a Diva there . . . want to understand more about your own perspectives on difference . . . . . . want to develop more comfort and skill talking about identity and dealing with tough conversations . . . . . . looking for a way to connect with other students who are committed to a

I just got back from a panel discussion about women supporting women at Dartmouth. Question to all the "divas" on this blog... do you think that Dartmouth women generally support each other? It has been my experience that the atmostphere is too competitive, and that while I can completely trust my closest female friends (I love you all!), I am hesitant to trust other female students in general.

I'm sure you probably read this article in the D about a case that ruled a man could not file for divorce on the grounds of adultery because his wife's extramarital relations were with another woman. Some of the reasoning: "Adultery is committed whenever there is an intercourse from which spurious issue [persons born out of wedlock] may arise." "The justices in the majority therefore surmised

Over on Lady-Likely, Laura Dellatorre posts about a lawsuit filed by a woman in Arkansas, claiming that the availibility of pro-life license plates in the state is unconstitutional. There are no pro-choice license plates available. My question is, is this really unconstitutional? I don't know every detail of the case, but I don't think pro-choice groups are prohibited from having a license

does the term 'diva' apply exclusively to women (it generally has that connotation but...)? and amanda, what prompted the celibacy---or need i even ask? sorry that my first blog is apolitical but i just wanted to announce that i've joined your "blog" network and look forward to many a political debate in the future.

Ok, I hate to jump right into the hard stuff, but what do you guys think of the additional rape stories in the free press (not available online yet) this week? I was editing them and it just makes me sick that this keeps going on. I mean, I went out to a bunch of frats last night, and there could have been something like that going on just upstairs and I would have no idea. And I wish I could

Hi everyone! Dartmouth divas is a blog maintained by three Dartmouth women: Katie Racicot, Amanda Morris, and Liz Middleton. We're going to be discussing women's issues on and off campus, as well as some broader issues of general interest (national and world politics, relationships, college life, etc.) For a little background: Liz and I met as freshman year roommates. We enjoyed many heated
