fashion
Dudes apparently think girls in sports gear are the hottest thing since those tights with built-in garters. I put this to the test over the weekend. Results were mixed.
exercise
Turns out there's a scientific explanation for why so many of us don't enjoy breaking a sweat.
politics
I wasn’t aware that Glenn Beck was the current head of the "Who’s a real man?” club, but evidently he is, and he used the power vested in him to strip President Obama of his man privileges.

The USTA doesn't want 16-year-old prodigy Taylor Townsend playing tennis until she's dropped some weight. OBVIOUSLY this is ridiculous on a whole bunch of levels.
body acceptance
She might turn around and kick your ass for it.
baseball
How to be the fanciest bitch at the ballpark.
cheer perfection
Would a show called "Little League Lads" get the same hand wringing cries about how horrible the fast-talking coach is on the "scared little boys"?
basketball
There is a great big geeky renaissance happening in the NBA right now.
athletics
If some gym teacher had pulled me aside then and told me “Look, I know you have it in you to kick this ball, maybe not this time, but soon. I just know you are strong and tough, so of course you can do it.”

Sportscastress (a term we invented just for her) extraordinaire Erin Andrews on cake from supermarkets, trying to squeeze the last everlovin' bit out of a lip-gloss tube, her grade school trouble with the law, and "the year of the Ryans."

Apparently I'm in the mood to get yelled at.

And I even have my own Barbie! Sort of.
little tiny feminists
In spite of the continued existence of T-shirts telling girls they should hate math and focus on their hair, Target has a couple of more positive options for very young ladies.

Moneyball looks GOOD. You can go for free!

Am I surprised that people are being sexist about the Women's World Cup? NO. Does it bug me? Hell yeah.

But the rest can be great, so feel free to play ball.
