Time Magazine is our ho of the week for running an “article” that boils down to: women all do this, and men all do this. While feministing and pandagon put it much better than I could, here are some of my favorite quotes:

When men disagree, the steps to resolution are reasonably clear and unsophisticated. Acts of physical violence are visited upon one another’s person or property, and the whole thing blows over. Women? Nu-unh. We savor the discord. We draw it out. We share our contempt with our friends, like a useful stock tip, or really good salsa. And then we all go hate together: a mutually encouraging group activity for when the book group gets quiet.

She’s too confident. This also bodes ill. Women have self-esteem issues.

The Ho of the Week, and really of our lifetimes, is Hollywood. You can’t even spell Hollywood without ho. Anyways, the reason this week for calling Hollywood a ho is their complete inability to pass the Bechdel Rule. The Bechdel Rule was introduced in Allison Bechdel’s comic Dykes to Watch Out For back in a 1985 strip. The basic principle is that in order to pass three simple rules must be followed:

1) There must be two women in it
2) They must speak to each other
3) About something besides a man

The fact that there are so few movies that pass this test underlines the male-centric view of the world that Hollywood presents. Bitch Ph.D. discuss this phenomenon in terms of summer blockbuster #1, the Dark Knight Returns. NPR discusses it and extends it to other under represented groups.

A list of movies and their Bechdel Rule factor.

you sir; are a dumb ho.

What am I doing wrong?

Okay, I’m tired of beating around the bush. I’m a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful)
25 year old girl. I’m articulate and classy.

I’m not from New York. I’m looking to get married to a guy who makes at least
half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a
year is middle class in New York City, so I don’t think I’m overreaching at all.

Are there any guys who make 500K or more on this board? Any wives? Could
you send me some tips? I dated a business man who makes average around
200 - 250. But that’s where I seem to hit a roadblock. 250,000 won’t get
me to central park west. I know a woman in my yoga class who was married
to an investment banker and lives in Tribeca, and she’s not as pretty as
I am, nor is she a great genius. So what is she doing right? How do I
get to her level?
