Spare me the ‘outrage’ on Sims’ abortion comments
By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times
So there it was, the screaming email this morning from someone named Marian Casillas declaring “Bully Brian Sims must RESIGN!”
Sims is a state legislator from Philly who got a little over the top when calling out anti-abortion protestors (they are decidedly not pro-life when they want to cut food stamps, slash health care, and fight against gun safety) they...
Will 2018 be the year of woman in Chester County politics?
By Nathaniel Smith, Columnist, The Times
In the Chester County Democratic primary election, the winners for U.S. Senator and Governor were (unopposed) men, but women for US House PA-06 (also unopposed) and Lt. Governor (Kathi Cozzone carried Chesco but not PA), so that’s half men and half women Dem winners in Chesco.
For PA Senate and House, 3 men and 8 women won Democratic races in districts...
Too many of us with stories to tell, sadly

Oh, Matt Lauer.
Honestly, as I watched Savannah Guthrie read the prepared statement from NBC executives, I can’t say that I was really that surprised.

Thus, I feel it is my duty to encourage every woman to start standing up for herself all day and all night. Not just in your dating...

As a member of the social media marketing company, Social Stylate (www.socialstylate.com), one of my favorite blog posts to participate in is a feature called “What’s in Her Bag?” It’s a sneak peek into the essentials we carry around on a daily basis. I am a firm believer that sorting through the contents of a woman’s purse is like conducting...

While men just let it all hang out, women want perfect summer bodies
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
Spring is here! FINALLY. I know this not because of the weather forecast or by sticking my head out the front door…I know this because every female in my life is on a diet.

World Cup team sheds light on unequal status of female athletes
The ticker tape parade for Team USA was great, but women in sports still get less attention, pay
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
On Friday, the champions of the Women’s World Cup enjoyed what many male athletes before them have come to enjoy after victory…a ticker tape parade in New York City. See, this type of celebration is rarely bestowed upon the fairer sex. In fact,...
