Watch NOW President Terry O'Neill on MSNBC's Dr. Nancy Show:
Is spiking drinks with date rape drugs really happening as often as we think? British researchers think some women are simply unwilling to accept that they drank too much.

USA Today's Sharon Jayson reports on the first National Tween Girl Summit and studies on body image issues and self-esteem.

NOW President Terry O'Neill was interviewed by New York Times reporter Tina Kelley about a disturbing trend on girl-on-girl bullying: "...news of a 'slut list' at a top-ranked New Jersey high school last week highlighted two disturbing points: the increasingly explicit and sexual nature of the taunts, magnified by the Internet. And, in another twist, the perception that allegations of promiscuity — however fictional — are a badge of honor, a way into the cool group, and not a cause for shame."

Tracy Clark-Flory write for Salon's Broadsheet about the "extreme challenges facing girls' education worldwide" and why "it's a fight worth fighting."

Katha Pollitt writes for the Nation, "Can we please stop talking about feminism as if it is mothers and daughters fighting about clothes? Second wave: you're going out in that? Third wave: just drink your herbal tea and leave me alone!"

Jon Swartz wrote: "A wave of female CEOs is putting a new face on the once male-dominated tech industry. Still, women lag behind men and progress has been slow. USA Today talked to some of the field's top female executives."

Dr. Rahul K. Parikh writes in salon.com, "Sex education regressed into the Dark Ages under Bush. Which candidate will now stand up for young persons' health?"

Monica Guzman writes, "It's a question all American women and blacks must have asked themselves at least once during this extraordinary campaign: By not immediately latching on to the candidate who could smash the ancient white-maleness of the White House with your under-represented, sometime oppressed identity, are you being a foot soldier for a nation of individuals, not labels? Or are you abandoning yourself?"

Student activist Nora Niedzielski-Eichner reacts to an Op-Ed claiming that there is no campus rape crisis.

As Congress dashes madly toward Christmas, it should not overlook a sliver of language that would restore low-cost birth-control pills to women on college campuses.

The number of states refusing federal money for "abstinence-only" sex education programs jumped sharply in the past year as evidence mounted that the approach is ineffective.

Nancy Redd majored in women's studies at Harvard, won Miss Virginia 2003 and placed in the top ten at Miss America 2004. With a postfeminist résumé like that, it was probably inevitable that she would write Body Drama, a version of Our Bodies, Ourselves for the self-image-addled teen girls and young women of Generation Z.

The cost of birth control would drop sharply on college campuses and at clinics catering to low-income women under a measure Rep. Joseph Crowley is looking to attach to another bill before the end of the year.

The birth rate among teenagers 15 to 19 in the United States rose 3 percent in 2006, according to a report issued Wednesday, the first such increase since 1991. The finding surprised scholars and fueled a debate about whether the Bush administration’s abstinence-only sexual education efforts are working.

Girls won top honors for the first time in the Siemens Competition in Math, Science and Technology, one of the nation’s most coveted student science awards. James Whaley, president of the Siemens Foundation, said the competition results send a great message to young women.
