NEW YORK - Girlfriend getaways are growing in popularity, according to a survey released Thursday.

The study conducted by the AAA auto and travel association found that 24 percent of American women have taken a girlfriend getaway in the past three years and nearly 40 percent plan one in the next three years.

The survey of 1,500 women found that the most common destination was the beach (66 percent) followed by a spa (63 percent) or a shopping site (55 percent) or a cruise (51 percent).

Most indicated, however, that the destination was incidental to the purpose of the trip —spending quality time with female friends and family members, the study found.

It also found that while about 7 percent of the girls-only trips were related to a planned wedding, and 9 percent to a birthday, most didn't have a specific peg. In more than a third of cases, respondents said they wanted to reconnect with friends or get together for no special reason.

Rape in Ireland: Females at fault!!!

clipper's remarks: I'm very disappointed in the attitude still about rape in Ireland. Even more surprised that other females blame the victim equally with the males. So don't expect sympathy from your sisters.

The one ray of sunshine is that the younger the questioned, the more sympathetic the answer. Older people always find it harder to understand the dress of the young. They forget the 60's when we wore even less or none.

Rape: our blame culture

ONE in four people believe women who have been raped are partly to blame for the crime because of how they dressed, their sexual history or how much they had to drink

An Irish Examiner/Red C national opinion poll on people’s attitudes to sex crimes found a core section of our society think rape victims are totally or partially responsible for being attacked

More than 30% think a victim is some way responsible if she flirts with a man or fails to say no clearly

10% of people think the victim is entirely at fault if she has had a number of sexual partners

37% think a woman who flirts extensively is at least complicit, if not completely in the wrong, if she is the victim of a sex crime

One in three think a woman is either partly or fully to blame if she wears revealing clothes

38% believe a woman must share some of the blame if she walks through a deserted area

Dramatic differences in empathy towards victims based on age and social class are revealed

Gender

had little impact

Meet Thomas Beatie. He's Pregnant.

Meet Thomas Beatie. He was born biologically female, had sex reassignment surgery, and is now legally male. When his wife, Nancy, was unable to have children, Thomas, who still has female genitalia, decided he’d carry their baby himself. And thus became the world’s first pregnant man. A process which, unsurprisingly, hasn’t been too easy:

Our situation sparks legal, political, and social unknowns. We have only begun experiencing opposition from people who are upset by our situation. Doctors have discriminated against us, turning us away due to their religious beliefs. Health care professionals have refused to call me by a male pronoun or recognize Nancy as my wife.

How does it feel to be a pregnant man? Incredible. Despite the fact that my belly is growing with a new life inside me, I am stable and confident being the man that I am.

In any case! …What are your thoughts on Thomas and his pregnancy?
