Oh Pat Robertson! You say the silliest things. This week, while he was answering questions on the Christian Broadcasting Network, a woman called in to say her husband had cheated on her and she was having trouble forgiving him. Pat's sage advice? Be grateful for how he provides for you and try harder to make him happy. Seriously. He made excuses for men who cheat and he told the woman to fall back in love with her husband (beg your f*cking pardon?!?). "Does he provide a home for you to live in? Does he provide food for you to eat? Does he provide clothes for you to wear? Is he nice to the children?”

Okay, so if you're a stay-at-home mom, just shut up and take what you can get from the guy. That's ... awesome. But you know what? That's 100 percent Pat Robertson. Honestly, I don't know why people bother asking his advice for anything, unless for troll bait. Here's a few other crazy things Pat's said.

Politicians in Florida are currently debating whether or not to pass the Infants Born Alive Act, which would require that physicians give medical attention to children born alive after a botched abortion.

Since Planned Parenthood has a dog in the abortion fight, they sent along Alisa Laport Snow, a lobbyist representing the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, to testify on behalf of the organization. Ms. Snow stated several times that they believe that the decision to end the life of a child born alive should be left to the woman, her family, and her physician. 

Three women ball-gagged and tied up in the trunk of a car is no laughing matter -- though some imbeciles over at an ad agency in India seemed to think it was. The agency came up with three mock ads each depicting three people tied up in the back of a Ford Figo. Two of the ads have scantily clad women hogtied in the hatchback. One of the ads shows Paris Hilton winking as she has the Kardashian sisters tied up in the back of her car, ball-gagged or their mouths taped shut. The Kardashians don't think it's a riot either -- they're threatening to sue.

Ladies, has there ever been a better time to be a woman? It's Women's History Month, y'all!

It also happens to be exactly 100 years since our foremothers threw on their fancy dresses and marched up Pennsylvania Avenue demanding the right to vote. And look how far we've come! Now we have the right to wear yoga pants and a hoodie as we march into the voting booth to pick the president.

Not the progress you were looking for? How's this: women now have a larger share of the high school diplomas and associate, bachelor's, and master's degrees in America.

Now that's something worth celebrating, right?

And we know just how to do it. We've gathered some girl power quotes to really get you going.

I was so excited when I first saw the previews for Oz The Great and Powerful -- not only do I (of course!) love the Judy Garland film, but I devoured many of the original books as a child, and I thrilled at the thought of L. Frank Baum’s magical world coming to life again on the big screen. And while the movie was beautifully lush, with plenty of eye candy for all, I really wish I hadn’t taken my almost 10-year-old daughter to see such a load of sexist crapola.

First, let’s start with the costumes. Trust me: I’m no prude. I enjoy looking at a gorgeous woman dressed in beautiful clothes, and if it’s a James Bond movie, then bring on the slinky sexiness -- I’ll eat it up. (SPOILER ALERT!)

Should women carry a firearm in case of rape? People have been arguing over this question since Colorado state senator Evie Hudak told a rape survivor that "statistics are not on your side" as a potential rape victim even if you're carrying a concealed weapon. So what should we tell women about preventing rape? YOU ARE ASKING THE WRONG QUESTION, says rape survivor and political commentator Zerlina Maxwell.

Zerlina appeared on Sean Hannity's FOX News show over the weekend and introduced a rape prevention idea so radical, it blew people's minds: Teach men not to rape. Teach who not to what now? Brain hurts. Confused. Words not make sense. WHAT.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Taylor Swift, and now I like her even more. The singing starlet covers the April issue of Vanity Fair, and she has some rather insightful points to make about the way her relationships -- or lack thereof -- are a constant source of media fodder and mockery.

Swift even has the gall to take on everyone’s fantasy BFFs, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler (and by "everyone", I mean me). Regarding their Golden Globes jokes about Swift’s notorious love life, Swift invoked a quote she says Katie Couric shared with her: "There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women."

OMG, break out the champagne! Today the House passed a new Violence Against Women Act. This is the Senate's version of the bill, and its next stop is President Obama's desk. In a statement the President said the bill is "an important step towards making sure no one in America is forced to live in fear." He says he will sign it the minute he gets it.

The first Violence Against Women Act was passed in 1994 and has been reauthorized since then. But when it came up for reauthorization last year, legislators failed to reach an agreement and more or less screwed women. ARGH! But this year it came back, and it's better than ever. Here's what the Violence Against Women Act means for you, your sisters, your mothers, and your friends.
