Tell me if I missed anything.
To counteract some confusion: there was a change of leadership, and this is partially why there are two new groups called History of Feminism and Feminism and Diversity. I recently handed off my leadership. Thanks for reading.
Edited to update.
Women warriors and underwear.
For once I'd like to see a video game without the use of belly buttons, cleavage, and only slivers of cloth over the characters big ass buttcheeks.
Tell me if you find one... The unknown videogame, not the buttcheeks.
Brewer signs birth control exemption
Gov. Jan Brewer has signed legislation to broaden an exemption to a 2002 law prohibiting businesses that provide prescription drugs as part of their health-insurance plans from excluding birth control pills.
"In its final form, this bill is about nothing more than preserving religious freedom to which were all constitutionally entitled," Brewer said in a prepared statement. "Mandating that a religious institution provide a service in direct contradiction with its faith would represent an obvious encroachment upon the First Amendment."

Did I mention that I'm hungry? 
The fairer sex
The availability of higher education to women sparked a heated debate. Advocates claimed that college made women better wives and mothers and gave single women the tools to be self-supporting. Opponents railed against the dangers of higher education, warning that it encouraged independence in women and threatened marriage and the family. At the heart of their criticism was the prevailing belief that women were biologically different, indeed inferior, to men and could not withstand the physical and mental demands of higher education. Dire consequences — physical weakness, emotional breakdown, sterility, even death — awaited young women who put their intellectual pursuits before their unique physiological needs.
