Definite Pink Hats: Female Cage Fighters!

No, this is not about porn.
This is about PhD chicks who kick ass.
Like Rosi Sexton, 5′4″, 121 lbs, with a PhD in theoretical computer science, who stepped into the MMA ring last week.  Now, she got beat, but her competition goes by the stage/fighting name “Warrior Princess,” so we guess we like her too.

“Lady Cyclists” Get Their Own Day?

The more we think about this, actually, the less we like it.
See, the Twin Cities have this Bike Walk Week thing, where you do less driving and more…not. And that’s fine and dandy, and we were originally excited to see an article devoted to “lady cyclists” who have their own day at the even this [...]

Confessions of a Terrible Red Sox Fan

We hate to admit this, but we sort of wanted the Yankees to win the World Series.
Ugh, ’scuse us.  We have to go beat ourselves up a little.  But that won’t make it less true.
We’re fans of the game, and the way the game’s played, the New York Yankees were far and away the best [...]

The woman, Karen Cunagin Sypher, seems to have slept with Louisville coach Rick Pitino, and he now admits that they did, in fact, have consensual sex.  (She accused him of rape, but the police determined her claims had no merit.)  They [...]

Judgemental Feminist Types? NOT UPHers!

As we’ve told you before, we love Erin Andrews, and as we were researching her recent travails we came across a few differing perspectives, most of which we talked about last week.  There’s “OMG SHE’S SO HAWT,” “Wow, she sucks,” even, unfortunately, “what a slut.”  And, fortunately, there’s a good amount of the proper reaction, [...]

MLB Ex-Wife Now Escort—-Internet Going Nuts

What if we told you the story of a woman who hit hard times? She has a special needs kid, has asked for and been denied more child support, and works as a mid-level administrator at an elementary school.  If she weren’t the ex-wife of a retired MLB player, nobody would be making a big [...]

Pink Hat Hatred: A Manifesto

Once upon a time, UnPinkHats, hereafter referred to as UPH, went to a baseball game.  We were pretty excited, given our avid following of the team in question.  UPH arrived, took our seats, and settled in in time for batting practice, hotdog in hand and scorecard at the ready.  Our jersey was crisply pressed, the [...]
