Jezebel is a daily blog that is an off-shoot of Gawker, a popular NYC blog. It caters to Vassar sort of women, but not in that annoying preachy/angry feminist sort of way. While their tag line is, "Celebrity, Sex, Fashion for Women," they often delve deeper than Cosmo (and actually critique the majority of magazines for women). While I was browsing the site last night, I came across two different articles that seemed relevant to what we've been discussing in class.
The first one discusses aggression in women, in relation to sports.

And the second one referenced the article below, which is a study recently conducted on "Early Predictors of Girls' Adolescent Sexual Activity"
