		<description><![CDATA[This conversation in which western feminists are debating the significance of the Muslim veil for women brings up many issues. It points to the historical meaning of women&#8217;s bodies and the battle over who ultimately controls them. It&#8217;s easy to romanticize the veil or to condemn it off hand without consideration of the degree of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This story from the New York Times discusses how dermatologists are increasingly more interested in their Botox clients than patients with real skin diseases. With a world health crisis and many here at home with no health insurance, it&#8217;s decadent for physicians to devote themselves to people&#8217;s vanity instead of real suffering. But I guess [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another story in the New York Times about surrogate mothers. This time it&#8217;s poor Indian women earning their living by renting their wombs to affluent westerners. The industrialization of human reproduction dehumanizes everyone involved. Talk of rights, choice, and economic necessity are code words that the affluent use to exploit the weakest members of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other day I walked by a nail salon, and through the window I saw an Asian man on his knees messaging the feet of a white affluent woman. My instant reaction was how demeaned that man must feel. I must confess, I am not one taken to manicures, pedicures, facials, and wax jobs done [...]]]></description>

This ancient practice remains alive and should prompt us to dismiss any contemporary claim that the ancient goddess cults are good for women or girls. Historically, sacred sex, sacred virgin, and fertility rituals are code words [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is the cover story &#8220;(Rethinking) Gender&#8221; from this week&#8217;s Newsweek magazine. The story about transgender people illustrates the cultural belief that your true self is something other than your body. It also reflects a belief in some innate masculine or feminine nature that is beyond the body. Something on the order of a female [...]]]></description>

One thing that they don&#8217;t tell you is that your womanhood or manhood does not depend on whether you have biological children. They also don&#8217;t tell you that if you want to nurture the [...]]]></description>

Some of these are being performed even into the ninth month of pregnancy. The practice of abortion has never been and will never be a walk in the park for women. Guess the sex that is [...]]]></description>

Working hard to look like your favorite star? Here&#8217;s a few lines from Kate Bechkinsale&#8217;s interview in Glamour magazine.
&#8220;What’s considered ideal in Hollywood is completely different than anywhere else in the world. I don’t think you can aspire to it, nor can I. Everybody is retouched, stretched, lengthened, slimmed and trimmed. I could look at [...]]]></description>
