Deborah Kotz, "Why Do Women Have Sex?," Yahoo! News (Oct. 8, 2009, orig. from US News and World Report)

  • The No. 1 reason is because they're attracted to their partner, followed by their seeking of physical gratification. Lower down on the list, the reasons were connected to love or emotional bonding. This sort of knocks down the stereotype that men have sex for pleasure while women have sex for love. Personally, for me--in my 17 years treating women who have sexual problems--it's reassuring to see that most of the women who participated in our survey are having sex for the pure physical pleasure of it.

Counter-cultural teenagers -- Review of Does my head look big in this? Randa Abdel-Fattah | Books | Sydneyanglicans.net

A review, on an Anglican site, of a book written by a Muslim woman from the point of view of a sixteen-year-old Muslim girl growing up in Australia who has just decided to veil. Reviewed as a good coming-of-age story for religious teenagers of any type. Sounds kind of interesting.

Afghanistan: Law Curbing Women’s Rights Takes Effect | Human Rights Watch (August 13, 2009)

"The law gives a husband the right to withdraw basic maintenance from his wife, including food, if she refuses to obey his sexual demands. It grants guardianship of children exclusively to their fathers and grandfathers. It requires women to get permission from their husbands to work. It also effectively allows a rapist to avoid prosecution by paying 'blood money' to a girl who was injured when he raped her."

Carri-me-away (archived blog of Carri Chmielewski)

An archived version of Carri Chmielewski's blog (which has since been taken down).
