Chicagoist is a feminist. We make no bones about it and we've felt this way since we knew what one was. We're a staunch defender of women's issues and really aware of the subtle societal influences on women. However, we have never been a party-liner for anything and we may sound like we don't get where these women are coming from. We do. But the first amendment trumps nearly everything and at some point, there...

The nicer the weather gets, the busier we get across the Ist-A-Verse. But we like being busy. Here's a peek at what we've been up to since last week! Chicagoist had an interview with Audrey Niffenegger, whose popular book, The Time Traveler's Wife, was based in their fine city. They also had a heated discussion about Rush Limbaugh's controversial Barack Obama parody, talked about whether Uncle Julio's Hacienda is a good place to get...

In this age of obnoxious reality television, people are comfortable eating bull balls and making asses out of themselves. Yet there is still one show that is what reality TV should be, and that show is "Survivor". This season gives us Mookie, a Chicagoan who keeps pissing where he eats and screws up the game. We also have our favorite survivor ever, Yaoman, a wiry, older Asian fellow who is going to quietly steal all...

As if you needed another reason to break out the Cabernet tonight: A study being released in the journal Cell found that mice who were given resveratrol, a component of red wine and peanuts, had more energy and worked more efficiently than the control group of mice. Resveratrol was also recently shown to help mice battle obesity. Though this is good news for those of us who enjoy a nice bottle of bourdeaux in addition...

It used to be our fantasy — being a VJ on MTV. We could meet every band. We could go to all the parties, not to mention getting into every concert for free with backstage passes. Sure we’d have to talk to Kurt Loder, but every job has its not-so-glorious aspects. The undying adulation from Bono about our insightful comments regarding the latest U2 album would be enough to get us through those dark times....

With Lollapalooza this weekend, it seems only right that we revisit the dance craze that was OK Go’s “A Million Ways” video. The choreography had its first public performance during an early set on the first day of last year’s Lolla and went on to be a viral video phenomenon. Chicagoist spotted this new video yesterday on YouTube for “Here It Goes Again” and it’s been making the rounds on the local morning news...

Since we’re on the subjects of boobs and tools this week, we thought we’d point your attention to a Chicago woman who is mad as hell, and not going to take it anymore. We’re pretty sure we can all agree on at least one thing – it’s not OK to randomly grope a woman’s breasts at a bar. We can agree on that, right? (Please say yes.) Well, at least one guy in our fair...

Boobs. What can't they drive a person to do? In a time long ago, in a land 164 miles south, Chicagoist was known to occasionally frequent a strip club in her college town because 1) there was no cover charge, 2) it was one of only a smattering of bars that women could go to and not worry about men giving them a hard time and 3) well, strip club. Chicagoist knows very few women...

Is it just us, or are all the people who are looking forward to Snakes On A Plane, the once-and-perhaps-future sleeper hit of the summer, setting themselves up for disappointment? If you’re a regular reader of this site, you’re probably all over SOAP as you pride yourself on being up on the latest pop culture happenings. But for your boss, who’s currently going through the history on your browser so she can find a reason...

Last night Chicagoist, along with about 40 other people, attended "Author's Roundtable: On Authorship, Blogs, and the Changing Literary Landscape" which was moderated by Andrew Huff and featured Chicagoist's own Erin J. Shea as well as Wendy McClure, Kevin Guilfoile, Kevin Smokler and Claire Zulkey. Although Chicagoist is friends with all but one of the featured authors, it was really insightful to hear the panel talk about their experiences. .. because you know, when...

Acting in violation of a year-old state law protecting a woman’s right to feed her children with her boobs, a lifeguard at Great America asked a North Chicago woman to exit a wading pool while breast-feeding her 4-month-old daughter. Despite covering herself, her baby and her boobs with a blanket—thereby sparing all concerned the trauma of a semi-nude portion of the human body—Rebecca Gray was asked to adjourn to a private area while engaging in...

(Note: Most of the links for this post might take you to pages whose material may lean towards the Not Safe For Work side. You’ve been warned.) Has anyone else ever seen the Daily Show segment on Asian-American studies professor Darrell Y. Hamamoto? Seems that Dr. Hamamoto had just about enough of seeing the world of porn (isn’t that the name of a place just over the Illinois-Wisconsin border on I-94?) dominated by White folks...
