Good morning, Dolls. I am in the midst of a master's thesis writing hell, and my brain doesn't work for long sentences. Lucky for me, mediocre, even punny, punchlines explaining the news of the weekend requires minimal thought. Yes, you deserve better, and I'll make it up to you somehow, someday.

Meanwhile, enjoy my unabashed punning after the jump.


  • Exclusive, expensive breast cancer test patent that prevented women seeking second opinions has been declared invalid. [Change.org] The test company's name? "Myriad" Genetics. As in, our exclusive test that you can only get once and through us is shitty for a "Myriad" of reasons.
  • Victorian women actually enjoyed sex, according to a recently unearthed survey. [Times of India] With all those Prince Alberts, I would think the relative piercing-safety of the ladybits would make this obvious.
  • Maine women march topless for equal chest-baring rights. [AP] Sensationalism-loving news agencies kept America abreast of the situation all weekend.
  • A new record: never before have four women been in space at the same time. [Independent] Officials reluctant to star-t calling the record out of this world, hasten to avoid mooning over achievement.
  • Study suggests blondes paid more than other women. [Telegraph] But they're also more likely to be sued for bleach of contract.
  • How harmful is the invisibility of women NPR commentators? [Echidne] If you're worried about this, you're probably just PBSing.
