Here’s a roundup of stories impacting women for your weekend reading. This one in The New York Times Magazine on parents expecting twins who chose to abort one fetus is sure to generate discussion. You probably heard that Nafissatou Diallo, who has accused Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexual assault, has filed a civil lawsuit. Did you hear Law & Order plans to air an episode based on the case? Speaking of DSK, Bloomberg BusinessWeek has an article on whether the IMF looked the other way and ignored the former executive’s behavior toward women. Cleveland.com reports on misogynist, serial killer Anthony Sowell who was sentenced to death for murdering 11 women. TechCrunch reporting on the new Verizon Android phone targeted toward women, cites unofficial reports that the droid is “pretty”, has dangly charms and less functionality than the standard variety. Ugh. And in case you were wondering if FOX moderators were being sexist when they asked Michele Bachmann during last night’s GOP debate if she would be a submissive wife as president, read this piece from RH Reality Check.
