That's very true, and well put.

I thought a lot of the comments below weren't saying that it isn't a problem, just that such harsh criticism one of the only shows on TV right now that has respect for women in general (I mean, how many shows nowadays have lead female characters that don't fit the Hollywood model?) is a little overdone? I don't think…

Is skin color that superficial when our society treats people so differently based on it? That's like saying gender is superficial. These things themselves don't affect personality, but they do affect how one is treated by society, and thus, the ideas/opinions/experiences one has as a person.

I agree with you - she doesn't have the responsibility to make a perfect show. Criticize her show, sure, but don't overdo it. Of all the shows on TV, this is one of the most unique and refreshing looks at the lives of women, even if all the characters are white and upper class.

I'm poor, so I haven't had much good wine yet. I do enjoy pinot noir a lot, but I don't have a brand down yet. Do you have any suggestions for low cost pinot noir? I like it if the wine doesn't give me that jaw-burny feeling, do you know what I'm talking about?

I wrote yesterday about my boyfriend being rude to me - we're going to see the Avengers finally. I feel so much better about things. Is it rare to meet a guy who wants to talk things out in a relationship? I am really impressed by it, cause he's only 20 - I'm 24 and I'm terrible at talking things out!

is there a link? I'm curious.

Yea, I think I see it. I was under the impression that without the law, women would have 20 weeks from conception to get an abortion, not 18 weeks. So the law actually changes nothing? Why are they passing it then? :/

hmmmm.....I just reread this article and the older ones - I really don't see what you mean when you say Jez is using it as a scare-tactic. Doctors may date pregnancy as starting two weeks before conception, but from what I can tell, that same rule didn't apply to women seeking to terminate a pregnancy - they still had…

I'm not trying to attack anyone, I was probably a little harsh cause of the topic - it def sets me on edge, so I apologize to @nuclear bore if I was being attack-y.

Oh god, do I hope!

I suppose she just thinks she's a proper, respectable woman, and anyone who wants to choose not to have children or not to be white is not a proper, respectable woman? Unfortunately, like many women, her sense of self worth may lie in whether or not she supports a patriarchal system that oppresses her and other women.…

hope I'm not feeding a troll, sorry if I am!

"Wow, I expected to read more rational comments on this page -

Please go troll her wall - it is very cathartic! There were so many posts about national prayer day, stupid people telling her she's a hero for getting rid of PP and for taking a "strong stance" on national prayer day. Ugh, fuck this lady and fuck Arizona. This is my very inarticulate, rage-induced post in the reply.

Except, it totally is brought in to limit abortion. Shit like that is only LEGISLATED for the purpose of limiting abortion. Doctor/patient stuff was left up to the doctor/patient before, what else do you think they are legislating this for??

I WILL SEE THIS MOVIE! i love scifi! And Bullock is pretty good in everything - and does. not. age. What is up with that? She's just like Keanu Reeves.

I have flat nipples, I didn't even know til I followed the other commenter's link to the boob/nipple gallery. I didn't even know that was a thing! Don't worry, there is absolutely nothing wrong with your breasts. I used to be really insecure about mine, they lost some elasticity after I lost weight, and my boyfriend…

I'm so sorry, that's a really really difficult situation, and even worse since you are an only child. Wanting to help a person who won't help themselves is really a terrible feeling, they have an endless source of negativity inside them, and it never abates from sharing the loneliness. I think you made the right…

I agree about the tongue - hold back, and even if you do get to using tongue, less is ALWAYS better. Too much tongue is just awful.
