Former Bollywood star wants No More Tears

March 14, 2012 by Georgia Mullen Leave a Comment

Sometimes brothers do more than tease their sisters. Sometimes they say things like, “Why don’t you help women who are brought to the U.S. from different countries and are abused by their husbands?” That’s what former Bollywood star Somy Ali’s brother advised after a bleeding Bangladeshi neighbor came to her door and said she’d been […]

Making the best of rape

January 29, 2012 by Georgia Mullen Leave a Comment

Presidential candidate Rick Santorum’s blurt that a woman pregnant from a rape “make the best out of a bad situation” has many female journalists fuming. Some have come up with a flurry of interesting questions that sound absurd at face value but–considering how our courts work–could just end up happening. Recognizing that Kansas Gov. Sam […]

FBI updates definition of rape

December 12, 2011 by Georgia Mullen Leave a Comment

It took 82 years for the FBI to change its naive, chauvinistic definition of rape. That’s 10 years longer than the campaign to give women the right to vote.

Female Peace Prize winners get less

October 9, 2011 by Georgia Mullen Leave a Comment

This year’s $1.5 million Nobel Peace Prize will be divvied up among three African women. Call me cynical but—once again—women get paid less than men. Why must each woman receive one-third of the prize money? Why not give them each $1.5 million? Every individual winner (e.g., Mother Teresa, Barak Obama, Henry Kissinger) gets to keep […]

Women: just pawns in the game

Mobster and human smuggler Bill Bedini was back in Albania after jumping bail in Texas. “This [is] payback to your Uncle Edmond for when I was in the United States,” he said as he beat two young women, nieces of the Albanian man who testified against him in the U.S. A human weed, Bedini kidnapped […]

It’s time to castrate rapists

November 6, 2010 by Georgia Mullen 10 Comments

News stories like this one from today’s New York Times turn me violent: “More than 600 women and girls were recently raped along the Congo-Angola border during a mass expulsion of illegal immigrants, according to the United Nations….’What worries us is that rape seems to be becoming endemic in several parts of Congo,’ Mr. Giuliano […]
