		<title>Traveling Alone As a Woman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This piece from Feministing founding editor Chloe Angyal, about a frightening near-abduction while she was traveling alone in India, reminded me of the last time I traveled by myself outside the U.S. At the time, I was in my twenties. I was an associate at a top New York City law firm, and I&#8217;d begun [...]]]></description>

		<title>Whitney Houston 1963-2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was saddened by the death of Whitney Houston. I watched the live telecast of her funeral on TV One and openly wept throughout most of it. As a daughter who knows the pain of burying a beloved mother, I wept for her daughter Bobbi Kristina. As a mother who never, ever wants to know [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rapper’s Video Advice Could Land Young Boys In Jail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My latest opinion piece for CNN&#8217;s &#8220;In America&#8221; blog discusses a controversial video that ran on the magazine XXL&#8217;s website. &#160; (CNN) &#8211; Outrage continues to build over a video that ran on the magazine XXL’s website featuring the rapper Too $hort dispensing advice to middle-school boys on how to “turn girls out.” As the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The War on Contraception</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was 16 and finally allowed to start dating, there was no question in my mind that &#8220;dating&#8221; meant I would finally be able to have sex. Among my group of friends, I was the only one who was still a virgin. My friends told me all about the sex they were having with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eddie Long Still Has More Apologizing to Do</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that Bishop Eddie Long has apologized to the Anti-Defamation League for a service at his New Birth Missionary Baptist Church that purported to crown him a “king,” one has to wonder what Long was thinking. With all the scandal that has surrounded him recently, Long and the New Birth leadership should have anticipated that [...]]]></description>

		<title>I’m Back!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a wonderful thing when people are interested in reading what you&#8217;ve written. I posted &#8220;The Shame of Menstruation,&#8221; about Christina Aguilera&#8217;s rumored menstrual accident, at 7 am on Sunday, January 29. By noon Sunday, the site was overwhelmed by the number of hits the post received, and crashed. Clearly, it was time for greater [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Shame of Menstruation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Of all the topics I cover on my blog, the one I never thought I&#8217;d write about is menstruation. I&#8217;ve been very fortunate with my periods. I reached menarche at a very early age &#8211; age 9 &#8211; but I&#8217;ve generally had regular, pain-free, short periods for most of my life. I&#8217;ve never had trouble [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cheater Family Values</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Marianne Gingrich, the second wife of GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, went public with allegations that Gingrich asked her for an &#8220;open marriage&#8221; and had a long-term affair with the former Callista Bisek, the woman who is now Gingrich&#8217;s third wife, I thought of Steve Harvey&#8217;s ex-wife, Mary Harvey. Last year, Mary Harvey posted [...]]]></description>

		<title>Twitter Relationship Gurus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s well-known that pretty much anyone with a Twitter account can call themselves a relationship expert these days. A lot of this advice is written by men, and directed at women. Men seem to think women would be better off if only we understood how they work, and modified our behavior accordingly. Shockingly, women refuse [...]]]></description>

		<title>Red Tails – A Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, I lied. This is not going to be a review of the George Lucas-produced film &#8220;Red Tails.&#8221; Lucas&#8217; brilliant marketing campaign has essentially rendered this movie review-proof. If you say anything negative about &#8220;Red Tails&#8221; &#8211; especially if you&#8217;re black &#8211; you are a hater who never wants to see decent films about the [...]]]></description>
