March Madness: OSU v UCLA and Oregon v Stanford Semis WNCAA Pac-12 Hoops

I have to be honest, I have never heard the term March Madness used for female basketball. Probably their Championship tournament is not for a few more weeks or it could even be that the male team brackets are considered more important.

A Strong Woman Doesn’t Need To Be Handled

“I can handle a strong woman.” That’s the hardest statement to dissect as a female because it implies that strong women must be handled. Handled by definition means to manage, feel or manipulate with the hands. An assertive, focused and driven individual is not something you want to manage or manipulate with the hands. In […]

The new Ghostbusters movie is a reimagining of the original 1984 title that featured Dan Aykroyd (Ray Stantz), Bill Murray (Peter Venkman), Harold Ramis (Dr. Egon Spengler) and Ernie Hudson (Winston Zeddemore).
