Sarah Haskins, who did Target Women and is one of my fave female comedians (and who has sold two screenplays!), left Current TV a few months ago. But she has a replacement! Erin Gibson, doing Modern Lady. She recently crafted a takedown of beer commercials–check it out below. I know, I know, easy target, but [...]

You read right. (Well, they don’t actually exist, but a girl can dream.) Check out the commercial: Via The F Bomb.

Note: This is guest blogger Julie’s second guest post. Have a great idea for a guest series? Email me at nona@girl-drive.com. I farted in the library yesterday. I farted. In the library. I was sitting, minding my own damn business, and then I had to fart, so I tried to ease it out silently, you [...]

The Sexist’s Amanda Hess went around and asked (what looks like) twentysomething DC dudes about birth control, and the results are hilarious/terrifying: they often don’t know shit. My favorite is when a guy gets asked about the birth control pill and he says this: “I guess that’s the one I have most indirect experience with, [...]

The ladies from Seal Press and I took to the Berkeley streets last week, asking people to say the first word that came to their mind when they heard: “choice” “movement” “man” “woman” and, finally, “feminist.” The idea was to distill the concept of “Girldrive” down to one word, and also get some guys’ opinions [...]

Well, you should. I’ve been making fun of them for months, actually. Not only do they milk the damsel-in-distress act for all it’s worth, they always feature embarrassingly bad, tight-ass, white, preppy actors acting out embarrassingly bad burglary scenes. In short, they’re ridiculous, and lady genius Sarah Haskins is here to tell you why:

Clearly. And here’s another heartwarming example. Lilith at Evil Slutopia had her 9-year-old daughter write a guest post about Swiffer’s sexist commercials, entitled “Stupid Sexist Swiffer”: I think your commercials are totally sexist. There is no good reason why in all your commercials there is a girl cleaning the house with Swiffer. Why are there [...]

I know I’ve been sleeping on posting (still recovering from JAWS, got back Monday night!). I will post something longer soon, but in the meantime I’ll leave you with this hilarious segment from Roseanne back in the 90s: In this scene, Roseanne and her sister Jackie are blown away by the Riot Grrrl in their [...]

(Cross-posted at Feministe) So I know this is almost a year old, but I couldn’t resist posting this aMAZing video. In this episode of “Smart Girls at the Party,” 7-year-old Ruby Karp, the daughter of BUST co-founder and TV producer Marcelle Karp, talks with Amy Poehler about–among other things–what feminism means. She even serenades Amy [...]

I’m a little late on this one, but in case you didn’t catch this SH video, it’s high-larious (although it’s hard to tell whether Sarah’s making fun of commercials for teens or teens themselves. Hopefully the former).
