women

Can you really ban love? That’s precisely the hope of a local council or “panchayat” in a rural village in India (via The Telegraph) that recently banned love marriages — those unions that haven’t been arranged by the parents of the bride.

Frustrating. Annoying. Unfair. That’s how most women feel about the fact that men appear to have the magical ability to shed weight rapidly and with seemingly less effort.

I recently attended a cozy little luncheon to discuss women's not-so-private parts. Dr. Rosella Nappi was in town to share the results of the extensive, international VIVA survey examining the vaginal discomfort that frequently accompanies menopause.

Most women are afraid to admit they are not as healthy as they'd like to be.

I’ve done it. I spent most of my 20s doing it. And no, it’s not what you’re thinking—doing that would have been fun. Rather what I did do wasn’t so fun—obsess about my perceived physical inadequacies and hide from friends and potential ‘doing-that’ partners when I was feeling ‘fat.’
