To be fair, I remember the same kind of comments when Martina Navratilova became dominant. The same back-handed motivation was at play, though, ie. "I suspect this player does not care about whether or not I think she's hot- and that's WRONG!"

Because everyone knows all the men are doctors, duh!

You know, if it's such a terrible thing, I guess women should stop doing it. Wouldn't want to be called a "dick-sucking whore," after all.

Yeah, that was a major lapse in her characterization. She wouldn't have been shooting the breeze like that.

And why did she just talk and talk and talk to Milton instead of working on her restraints?!?!?

She was so awesome in "Lone Star".

And I loved you so, Jayne Cobb.

I am a liberal southerner and I LOVE seersucker! I will NOT let conservatives ruin it for me!

I am really looking forward to her artistic response to the audience reactions to the piece. Monumental art has for so long been the sole domain of the powerful- having a subversive statement writ SO large without an "authorized" interpretation of it is fascinating.

I'm getting a very Lady Catherine de Bourgh vibe from all this... "I cannot see understand why you have younger sisters in society, posting their engagement season photos on Facebook, when the elder sisters remain unmarried. In my day, it simply was not done."

Eesh. I think of people in ER's with compromised immune systems (chemo, etc.), and I wonder how many of them were sent home with fluids and a low-grade fever, perhaps exposed... but not panicking!

Looks like he not only originated the role of Billy Flynn in "Chicago," but those of Julian Marsh from "42nd Street" and El Gallo from"The Fantasticks"! Kinda puts his "reunion" with Angela Lansbury in "Beauty in the Beast" in a new, Broadway-style light.

Wasn't he in the original cast of "Chicago," too?

POWER PUFF GIRLS 4EVAH!

I hear you- Mr. Dotty probably wonders why I'm "suddenly" angry all the time about sexism, but he hears and reads the same news I do (except, ahem, Jezebel). Where he sees an ocean of laughable right-wing ideology that's aging out of relevance, I see the erosion of very PERSONAL hard-won rights over my own body. He…

I feel like I'm living in some kind of fucked up alternate reality these days. I've always considered myself a feminist, but I used to kind of laugh off the idea that men could feel threatened by women, particularly the power of women's metaphoric "voice". But between the official efforts to restrict women's…

John Kelly's The Great Mortality is a fascinating account of the Plague in Europe, and how it exacerbated xenophobia. Frightened people do frightening things.

That said, I absolutely take your point about the culturally loaded word "hygiene" when it comes to colonialism. The media is playing into the public's wishful…

The first thing I noticed about Terminus was how few people there were, total. It seemed like an awful lot of space for a few people to be milling around in, when there had been signs up all over the place telling people to come. It should have looked more like a refugee camp. There seemed to be a LOT more people when…

Glad I'm not the only one. I can understand if a sense of purpose kept them together at the beginning, but as feckless as he is under pressure? Either they really do believe him or there's some other reason they want him around, because otherwise he is totally dead weight. He shot up their truck!

Is that the guy from "Xanadu"? More importantly, what important fact about my life have I forgotten to keep his face in my memory?
