What does that say about these broke hoes? German Study Shows Correlation Between Sex And Wages Earned Via Philly Having sex often not only impacts your personal life, but your work life as well. A new report found that employees who have sex frequently have significantly higher salaries than those who don’t. The study, done by the Institute for the Study of Labor in Germany, concluded that people who have sex more than four times a week have a 3.2 percent higher paycheck than those who have sex once a week. The link between sexual activity and wages is the highest among employees between the ages of 26 and 50. The report analyzed data was from about 7,500 households in Germany. Participants were asked how often they had sex, how much they make, their age, sexual orientation, if they have any health problems, and about their religion. People who have sex often seem to be happier and healthier, too. “Sexual activity allows distinct predictions to be made regarding labor market success, since economists consider health status, mental health, and dietary habits/obesity to be crucial variables that influence employees’ wages,” the report said. Personality traits also seem to influence salary. “Wages are higher for those with extraversion and openness traits who are sexually active,” the study found. Sexual orientation, education, and type of job showed no link between wages and sex life. Well damn… Image via Shutterstock Continue reading →
Kanye West doesn’t care about regular middle-class people *Kanye voice* Kanye Wants Kim To Ditch Kardashian Clothing Line In Favor Of Designing High End Fashion Via RadarOnline Kanye West is encouraging his baby mama and sex tape star, Kim Kardashian, to sever ties with the Kardashian clothing line at Sears and become a high end fashion designer and follow in the footsteps of Victoria Beckham, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting. The Grammy award winning singer very much “wants Kim to distance herself from the Kardashian clothing line that is sold at Sears because he thinks it’s tacky, and cheapens her brand,” a family insider told RadarOnline.com. “Instead of having Kim’s designs sold at a discount department store, Kanye wants her to design a line that would be sold in posh stores such as Henri Bendel, Harrod’s and Bergdorf Goodman. Kanye would want to be involved in the line as he has been essential in making over Kim’s closet. “It would be a project they could work on together, and could even name the line after daughter, Nori,” the source said. During Kim’s difficult pregnancy she was often maligned for outfits that didn’t seem to flatter her figure. Kim often “complained that there was no good choices for women like her to wear. Kim has always been curvy, but it was hard to find looks that complimented her figure while pregnant. She would love to design a line of casual and formal maternity wear for style conscious women,” the source added. Does Kanye realize that not all of Kim’s fans are filthy fawking rich??? Why couldn’t she just have both lines, one for bougie folks, and one for us commoners?? Image via GSI Continue reading →

Should Men Who Force Sex On Women And Impregnate Them Have Parental Rights? A group of bi-partisan lawmakers are currently working to push legislation forward that would give female survivors of forced sex that resulted in a child the right to terminate the parental rights of their attackers. At present, more than half of the U.S. does not have laws that protect the custodial rights of victims of forced sex that resulted in children. via Think Progress On Thursday, a bipartisan group of lawmakers led by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) held a press conference to explain their recently-introduced legislation designed to help rape survivors maintain full custody rights over their children. The lawmakers were joined by Shauna Prewitt, a rape survivor and victims’ rights advocate who was forced to endure the type of custody battle with her rapist that the bill seeks to prevent. The Rape Survivor Child Custody Act would provide funding incentives to states that have laws allowing mothers of children conceived through rape to “seek court-ordered termination of the parental rights of her rapist.” These states would receive federal grant funding for programs authorized under the federal Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Currently, 31 states have no custodial rights protections for mothers of children conceived in rape. Of the 19 states that do have some protections, only six reach the standard advocated by the proposed bill. At the press conference, Prewitt explained that victims in this situation can often face a dynamic where their rapist threatens to pursue custodial rights over the child unless they drop their criminal charges. The bill also encourages states to pass laws allowing survivors to petition for the termination of their rapists’ custodial rights as long as they can show that they had been raped under a “clear and convincing evidence” standard. Only six states currently have such laws, whereas thirteen others require criminal convictions for the rapist. That requires a stronger standard of evidence and can place survivors in long legal battles that may prove traumatizing. Do you think men who impregnate women through forced sex should be given the chance to be in the child’s life? Obviously, most people can agree that attackers who force sex on women would likely not be fit for fatherhood, but what about cases where a husband or significant other is accused or convicted of raping his partner and she gets pregnant? Should the mothers in those situations have the option to legally terminate his parental rights also? Let’s discuss.
Gabrielle Union Admits Losing ‘Scandal’ Role To Kerry Washington Earlier this week, BET premiered a new scripted series titled “Being Mary Jane,” which stars Hollyweird banger Gabrielle Union. But while there has been much hype surrounding Gabby’s new role on a show that is all her own, she recently revealed that she’d also been passed up for another starring role as Olivia Pope in ABC’s ‘Scandal,” which currently a role played by none other than her fellow Black Hollywood actress Kerry Washington. via US Weekly BET is giving Gabrielle Union her very own Scandal. The 40-year-old actress is starring in the new movie/TV series Being Mary Jane, which is set to premiere as a two-hour special on Tuesday, July 2 on BET — and become a series in January 2014. For Union, landing the lead role in the new BET show is a big career win. In an interview with The Associated Press, the Deliver Us From Eva actress revealed that she lost the lead role on ABC’s Scandal to Kerry Washington. “I said to myself, ‘Oh my God, these roles are out there.’ It showed me that you don’t have to settle. Luckily, the success of her and the show bred more work,” she explained. “Just from the audition process, I knew that I couldn’t go backward.” “I didn’t get Scandal, but I got something better — which is my own show,” Union added. “It’s all about building a legacy. This new opportunity is something I feel that can grow.” Hmmm…we’re thinking both Gabby and Kerry landed exactly where they were supposed to, and as a result there are now two shows with African-American actresses in starring roles where there might have only been one so it all seems to have worked out. Could you imagine Gabby as “Olivia Pope,” Bossip fam?
