Equine Feminism
Stories that you might have missed:
  1. Rags to Riches became the first Filly (girl horse) to win the Belmont Stakes since 1905 and the first Filly to win any Triple Crown race since the 1988 Kentucky Derby. JFTR, I don't like horse racing at all.
  2. A filly's owner is being sued after the horse kicked a stallion in the head and killed him.
    "An attorney for Ruth Kay said in papers filed in DuPage County Circuit Court that Kay's mare, Gabby, kicked a stallion named Vinny in the shoulder after the horse approached Gabby from behind and rested his head on her rump.

    Kay's attorney essentially called Vinny's behavior equine sexual harassment—an unwanted violation of Gabby's "personal and private space."

Yes, this is slightly tongue-in-cheek. Then again, what do you think?
