The XX Factor: What women really think.



  • My Husband Went to Argentina, and All I Got Was This Lousy Divorce


    A post from DoubleX writer KJ Dell'Antonia:

    Politico.com reports that days after husband Mark Sanford admitted to having an affair, Jenny Sanford filed an application to trademark her name for use in "product merchandising to be sold at online retail store featuring clothing, mugs and other household items; stickers, decals, notepads.’” Herein, a few ideas that should sell out fast.
