Drinks on me, Smilla, for you and Wendy of the House Walker.

Sorry, lady, no way! I love Natalie Dormer on GofT (she's so cute and clever and manipulative, much more than in the books — loving it!), and I have had a distaste for Kaley Cuoco since they awkwardly shoehorned her into the final season of Charmed.

I love this! I feel exactly the same way. I would much prefer my guests feel at home and be comfortable rather than rely on me for every little thing while they're visiting. I try to make that clear from the arrival so that I'm not waiting on them, and they're not walking on egg shells.

If I knew you, I'd invite you frequently and happily!

I may invite Madeleine over simply to receive this host's gift. Really, it should be all about the gesture.

I think there's an appropriate Jed Bartlett quotation for every injustice. This is why I can't hate Aaron Sorkin, regardless of his many twitty women.

"Jesus with a White J".... Bahahahaha!

I was 4/8 on Pharell and 11/15 on Paul Rudd, but now I want to play this game for every famous person. And maybe some of my friends. Love it!

Gilmore Girls is one of my favorites. I was a faithful viewer from the first show to the last.

I get the Newsroom hate (I watch but cringe at the way the women are written. I love the politics, though, and the Sorkin dialogue. I'm hoping for some female empowerment in season two.), but what his other stuff?

I don't doubt it. But I do want you to know that I'm a white-as-can-be hetero woman, raised in a medium-small, heterogenous, conservative, almost completely white, Christian community, and I hope I can offer a small glimmer of hope.

Sidenote: I find it sad that you assume everyone uses racial slurs at one time or another. It would never occur to me to use any such language.

Detroit Rock City, friend! My husband lived downtown for six years; I lived there for less than a year before we headed to suburgatory (for the schools). Detroit is great, so you do NOT win the bad-decision-making contest.

I'm reading this in bed where my husband and daughter are asleep on either side of me, and I just silent-laughed so hard that my baby woke up. Thank you for that at the end of a long, long day.

Thank you! Geez, Louise, this makes me crazy every time this topic comes up. You (we) are still not going to be "a minority" — certainly not culturally, but not mathematically either. So relax, scary-crazy FOX shoutyheads.

I'm gonna respectfully disagree on this one. I watch it often (and like it — great musical guests, fun songs, good messages), and I've never seen anything that bothers me.

I'm not arguing the point or being obtuse; I'm legitimately asking a question. Other than Fufa being pink and having a bow, where's the sexism in Yo Gabba Gabba? I've watched it more than the average watcher (it's the only show TinyThinker likes, and my nephews loved it, too), and I scoured the interwebs for criticism…

I should clarify that. I have no problem with the full-coverage tankini. And good tip about the bathroom; thanks!

This. I have an 18-month-old girl, and I'll let her run around naked or in diapers all summer, but I refuse to put her in a two-piece bathing suit, let alone the string bikini my in-laws got her (really?!?). Naked is natural; toddlers dressed seductively is not.

I had a similar experience with my sister-in-law last year. She is a POC (South Asian) and rages against beauty norms and stereotypes. She was raised all over Asia, Europe, and North America; she worked for the UN; and she has close friends from six continents and of all ethnicities.
