NEWS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’re super excited that the print magazine of the American Sociological Association<\/a>, Contexts<\/em><\/a>, has decided to feature an illustrated essay written by Gwen and I<\/span> me in each issue.\u00a0 The first debuted in the Winter 2010 issue<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Also, this is your monthly reminder, you can always follow us on Twitter<\/a> or friend us on Facebook<\/a>, where we update with a featured post everyday.<\/p>\n

FROM THE ARCHIVES:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last February I posted a rant about the idea that a person was either a “dog person” or a “cat person.”<\/a> Oh how I hate that ridiculous idea!\u00a0 In an effort to forever cleanse the earth of this ridiculous binary, I beg to you to go back and read it!<\/p>\n

Two Februarys ago, we posted some data on how IQ correlates with income and wealth<\/a>.\u00a0 The pictures aren’t very pretty, but the data is<\/span> are really interesting.<\/p>\n

NEWLY ENRICHED POSTS (Look for what’s NEW! Feb ’10<\/span>):<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u0421\u043e\u0444\u0438 \u0410. sent us an ad that gives us an excuse to link to our collection of ads making sexual body parts out of sexually-suggestive fruit<\/a>.\u00a0 Enjoy!
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jessica S. sent us a link to a Saturday Night Live skit making fun of the idea of wigs for baby boys<\/a>.\u00a0 We added it to our post on wigs for baby girls which is not a joke<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Laura McD. sent us another bizarre, sex-soaked, cringe-worthy Orangina ad<\/a>.\u00a0 We added it to the collection.<\/p>\n

Megan D. sent us an image of a wall stencil that encourages girls to think of themselves as “just a Bella, waiting for my Edward.” We added it to our earlier post where we discuss whether Edward’s behavior in the Twilight<\/em> series<\/a> is romantic or creepy stalkerish.<\/p>\n

Wanna show you love her but not have to actually make much of an effort at being romantic? Buy her diamonds!<\/a><\/p>\n

Andrea let us know about dznuts, a product cyclers use to prevent saddle sores in their sensitive areas. We added it to our post on selling beauty-related products to men<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Remember our post on vintage products containing opium and cocaine<\/a>? Louise sent us a photo of a hand-written recipe from her great-grandmother’s cookbook that called for “tincture of opium.”<\/p>\n

We never like to let a month go by without updating our post on products shaped like boobs,<\/a> so this time we added a citrus juicer and a lighter.<\/p>\n

Previously Axe let guys know<\/a> that their body scrubber<\/span> Detailer would help guys sleep with both a woman and her daughter. Now they have some hot chicks illustrating at length how to get your balls clean.<\/p>\n

We updated our post on light-colored items described as “nude” or “flesh”<\/a> toned with a set of colored pencils in “people colors.”<\/p>\n

As organizations have figured out, if you can’t actually show racial diversity at your institution, you can photoshop some in<\/a>. We added an example from an American Petroleum Institute brochure.<\/p>\n

We recently posted several commercials that illustrate a stunningly thorough round-up of stereotypes of masculinity<\/a>. We added a FloTV and Daily Show clip that highlight just how awful men have it these days, what with their controlling wives and lack of power and all.<\/p>\n

We also added some of the images of disembodied women’s legs used by the band Chromeo to our post on furniture and other items shaped like women’s bodies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And we updated one of our posts about retouching<\/a> with two examples of a photoshopped Demi Moore.<\/p>\nLisa Wade, PhD<\/a> is an Associate Professor at Tulane University. She is the author of <\/em>American Hookup<\/a>, a book about college sexual culture; a textbook about gender<\/a>; and a forthcoming introductory text: <\/em>Terrible Magnificent Sociology<\/a>.\u00a0You can follow her on Twitter<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.<\/em><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
