The XX Factor: Slate women blog about politics, etc...

Meghan , I checked out that T-shirt sniffing study you flagged, and, well, it hardly implies a crisis for pill-users – or a pink slip for novelists. To recap: The researchers asked women to rate the smells of T-shirts worn by different men. For each woman, Read More...

Has anyone been reading about this new U.K. study examining how the birth control pill affects women's choice of sexual partners? As one CBS headline crudely puts it , women on the pill allegedly choose "the wrong partner." That's because, as the authors Read More...

Your Friday firestorm watch: After NPR (NPR!) published an audio essay titled "Sex Without Condoms Is The New Engagement Ring" (which prompted a heated debate ) Moe Tkacik of Jezebel responded with a wistful ode to the joys of barebacking . "[H]ere is Read More...

The Sunday New York Times chronicled the trials and tribulations of women who run businesses and employ their husbands. The piece profiled women who sell backpacks and run temp-services agencies, women who run companies that deliver meals or set up trade-show Read More...

Ellen , that is one gutsy post, and a public service, too. (Maybe Prudie has some suggestions on ways to get the "Clooney it up a little bit'' message out?) No way the big-screen Sex and the City could match last night's Daily Show spoof , in which Jason Read More...

Tim: Last week you challenged us to reveal the reasons women cheat (or want to) in response to our posts about this Philip Weiss article . I'm late to the party. But first I wanted to second Ellen's no-nonsense answer: For the same reasons men do. Desire, Read More...

Tim and Ellen , the few married women I know who've come right out and said they were having affairs all wound up divorcing the hubby and marrying the "other man.'' Only, those are just the ones who talked about it. One of my most gorgeous married friends Read More...

Has anyone sat down yet with New York 's cover story, a long essay entitled " The Affairs of Men: The Trouble with Sex and Marriage ," pegged to the Eliot Spitzer scandal? Inside, however, is not an outré confession but a fiftysomething baby boomer's Read More...

After we toast Danica, let's raise a glass (of milk, in case anyone's watching) to welcome Cynthia Sommer home from jail. As far as I can tell, Sommer spent 2½ years in lockup for getting breast implants and hanging out in bars. A San Diego jury heard Read More...

Sorry to be so late to the party on Slate V's Bonk ing , but oh my, what's next on Slate After Hours ? (Or our spinoff site, Slate Blue ?) OK, maybe aspirations of primness run in my family; my dad took that Kinsey class at Indiana University where they Read More...

Dahlia, Mrs. Chatterbox was right. I'm amazed, in fact, at the lengths we'll go to, to prove that these people's every gesture and utterance fits into some grand scheme. When five minutes in the Senate visitors' gallery should make plain that even when Read More...
